okay, now you sound really fuckin suspect. archie comics, since the beginning, have had these kind of plots and mild afterschool special level social commentary. it was even more noticeable in the 80s/90s if you truly "grew up" with these comics.

google "archie social commentary" anon, this isn't obscure information. if you aren't talking out your ass to try and win an argument, you're at the very least not nearly as familiar with these books as you want to believe.
