Electricmastro Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) On 7/1/2020 at 10:52 AM, Bookery said: I know WW2 Japanese caricatures are often lumped into the same racist stereotypes as other imagery, but I'm not sure that's entirely fair. When your fighting for your lives, often with youngsters barely out of high school, your very survival may depend upon instilling both fear and anger in your troops against the enemy. In WW1 the "Huns" were depicted as vampires, gorillas, and all sorts of other grotesques. Throughout the history of human warfare a nation's enemies have never been portrayed as what they usually were ... wide-eyed acne-faced youngsters scared out of their wits. That said... the continuation of such depictions after the war is of course a different matter. Not to mention how EC also used Asian caricatures early on. And Jason Murphy’s lunatic response and publishers featuring less black people until Gabe Jones and Black Panther came along aside, in the end, while some of Wertham’s actions are very much a product of (if not, behind) his time, such as seemingly going along with the hysteria of pedophilia being a result of homosexuality (and citing Batman and Robin, a recognized kid and adult duo, sleeping in the same bed), I do feel he did genuinely care about helping children. Again, he was misunderstood quite a number of things and somewhat misguided in his attempts to care for children, but he still did care for children nonetheless, at least with black children who were purposely given less chances to live happy lives compared to other children. It’s a situation that one likely can’t overreact to considering the terror black people received especially in the Jim Crow era, and how there were parents dressing kids up in KKK outfits and teaching them to be racially hostile to all the “bad” black people, almost as if they were part of another Hitler Youth group. I suppose Wertham could also be compared to Sigmund Freud in that he seems behind the times in some views, but ahead of the times in others.
