really have to wonder why you said this to be honest, it remains unfortunately true that people in Gaza are dying, and no one with enough power to substantially help them actually cares about them.
Preaching on comics site is like preaching in video games, not really a good place since people read/play to escape reality, not to read/hear some dude preach about how war is bad and how we should live laugh love each other.

so you don't feel any emotions during COD4's No Russian? or when you chose to drop white phosphorus onto innocents in Spec Ops: The Line?

like, come on, comics and games are just as valid as other artforms in terms of expressing reality. In fact, doing so will help them resonate within the reader/player even more.

There are also many comics and games that know how to shine a light on the real-life suffering of people (depression, PTSD, living in a war, etc.) while still keeping themselves great to go through (like This War of Mine, and so on). You only need to take a look at popular old games and comics to see why they are popular (such as how COD: World at War respected the WW2 veterans and victims before)

Lastly, your reply feels like a good excuse for modern AAA games like COD or whatever else these days to be sloppy, and for trash manga (like the insane amount of isekai manga out there) to just exist. Especially the part where you say people play and read in order to "escape from reality". Like, almost all video games (if not all of them) are related to reality in one way or another, especially if you look deeper.

The main point is about preaching in places where it doesn’t really belong, and I can clearly see that you don’t understand what preaching even entails. In what world is mowing down an airport full of people in a video game related to preaching? It’s like saying that Diablo is preaching Catholic values because you’re killing demons. And a perfect example of what preaching is can be found in this very comic: no story, no character growth, no journey—just a dude preaching about an issue in a place where dragons fuck cars and massive tits are the norm.
