Archie to be killed
-
you guys know I'm about as far left on the gay rights issue as anyone but sometimes the agenda just gets ridiculous.

Meh.

It's a shame that the editors feel like they need to do this as some kind of statement. I mean, if they basically picked a name at random, then sure. If they decided that the gay friend was most likely to be shot at, you could understand that. But engineering it this way seems like overkill.

I used to read Archies comics when I was younger, I'm not sure how popular they were in Great Britain. And I understand that many franchise characters get updated as years go by. I mean even when Mickey Spillane was still living Mike Hammer quit drinking hard liquor and smoking.
I really had no idea what have been going on with the RG series for the last few years so maybe they went really socially progressive. I feel bad that apparently something came between Archie and Jughead Jones who has been his best friend for the last 75 years.
But seriously I think the overwhelming desire to shock and offend is counterproductive for any group.

I don't think it's a desire to offend, or even shock in a bad way. I can see the intent, it seems to be a 'hey, we're accepting of this kind of stuff' move, but for my money, going out and shouting about how accepting you are isn't really necessary.
