No.
How would anyone know your buying habits? If you do or don't buy a comic, who would know? And if you're not buying a comic, why would you even bother to comment on it?
My pull list this week was ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: RENEW YOUR VOWS, THE AVENGERS, DOCTOR STRANGE, GENERATIONS: THE MARVELS, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, LUKE CAGE, PETER PARKER: THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN II, TOTALLY AWESOME HULK, VENOM, VENOMVERSE, and X-MEN: GOLD.
Besides the owner of my LCS, absolutely no one else would know what I got except for what I choose to share and discuss with others.
So no one is forcing me to buy anything and no one is guilting or shaming me into buying anything.
And even though I had a very large stack of Marvel this week, not a single issue has tried to tell me how to live. And it's that way every week.
The myth that Marvel is shilling politics across their line is pure bs. Their politics are as left wing as they've always been and, if anything, they're less intrusive than they were back when Stan used to openly get on a soapbox for a cause.
