A lot of comics now would fail the comics code pretty hard. Especially since gay characters were prohibited by the comics code.

As with all censor boards, the pr0-censorship crowd never really understand subversion and nuance, so writers who want to are going to get around that (like how Clairemont presented gay characters like Destiny and Mistique). And when Spider-Man wanted to do a story involving drugs, they just did it and the Comics Code changed their rules because they knew that they’d become obsolete if they didn’t.

The thing that’s happening right now is that a lot of writers are intentionally including minority groups or at least trying to avoid being unintentionally terrible to them. I don’t really find that to be the same thing as censorship.
