Marvel's Editor-In-Chief Really Wishes We Could All Just Forget Him Pretending to Be Japanese

Before he became Marvel’s newest Editor-In-Chief, C.B. Cebulski, a white man, spent months writing as “Akira Yoshida” in order to circumvent Marvel’s company policy that barred staff employees from working in editorial.

Really? It’d be a shame if everyone kept circulated this story and reminded people until he leaves.

Remember, this isn’t just a matter of a pen name. He invented a whole damn person, lied to colleagues and supervisors told them that he was receiving work from this person, and pointed to the nonexistent writer as an example of the diversity and inclusiveness at Marvel—while using the lie to write some of the most godawful stereotypical shit about Japanese characters, protecting himself by claiming it was a Japanese person writing it.

“you are literally taking away an anime character’s race when you draw them with darker skin” = “i perceive someone as less japanese when they have darker skin” = “i think dark skin taints a race”

I would just like to thank the tumblr staff for not developing a memories app like other social media platforms because I really don’t need to remember what specific parts of fandoms I was into on this day in 2010

[tahthetrickster]

bold of you to assume that the tumblr staff knows enough about programming to develop such an app
