    It's unfortunate but real world politics tainted the character beyond rehabilitation.
    When one of the Punisher movies came out, some soopah-genius sent reprints of his first Spider-Man appearance to the theatres to hand out to people buying tickets as some sort of promotional thing.

    The Frank Castle of that issue was a skinny guy with a Norman Osbourne haircut and bug eyes who shot at people with an automatic weapon for tossing something at an overfull trashcan and it bouncing out ("Littering!") and then, after firing his automatic weapon on the street, for running across the street where there wasn't a crosswalk ("Jaywalking!") and I remember laughing at how horrible an idea that promotion was...

    So the message appeared to be, "Marvel had this scrawny bug-eyed lunatic, but made him buff and handsome and dubiously 'cool' (and only target 'real bad-guys' instead of civilians attempting to flee his rampage to make him at least remotely appear justified) to make a quick buck off of him?"

    That may have ruined it for the group you belong to.Try bringing up some concrete proof and not "People I didn't like wore it" If you can't maybe you should give the "Punisher is problematic" bit a rest.

    If you find yourself siding with racists, just stop.

    It's one of his things, siding with incels is another.

    I think it's better than Marvel has introduced more character legacies and new readers have a chance to connect with a more diverse and inclusive range of characters they can identify with, which also fights stereotyping.

    If you have no proof, just stop. That thing is worn and will continue to be worn by people from all walks of life because it looks cool. At some point you need to get over it.

    Hey, it's davets, almost always wrong but what they lack in sound arguments they make up for in self-righteousness. Bwahaha!

    I'm pretty sure the story you described is the one where Frank was drugged by Jigsaw into becoming more unstable. He was't like that in his first appearance at all.

    They upgraded the paper. Those facsimiles look awesome. I got almost all the True Believer stuff.

    Dr. Druid is a Celtic mystic and not Dr. Droom, an Anglo psychologist magically turned into an East Asian.
