I wrote a longer response to your comment, but the site failed on me and I lost it, so here's a short re-written version:

One aspect I didn't enjoy about IDW's take on Transformers is that I felt like it shoe-horned a lot of current real-world politics into the stories. I didn't feel like it needed that, especially since it's a science fiction story about shape-changing alien robots from space. I wasn't sure how to express this earlier without offending anyone (there seems to be a lot of lefties on this site).

Anyway, one reason why I like science fiction and fantasy is because it's a form of escapism for me. When I read comic or watch a movie, I don't like being reminded of real-world problems or issues because that's what I'm trying to escape from when reading the comic or watching the movie.

There were a lot of LGBTQ themes in Transformers towards the end of the run, and even though I am supportive of LGBTQ causes; I didn't need to see so much of it in a comic. It's good that it was acknowledged via Chromedome/Rewind, but beyond that, I felt like IDW editorial were flashing it in my face.

Just my 2 cents. Enough about the comics!! It's over... until the relaunch later this year... It never ends, does it?
