That's how those sorts operate. They find a face and label them a 'leader'. For them, everything is some kind of structured group that has just mobbed together to 'harass' them in a coordinated effort. They refuse to believe that maybe a large group of people have become disgusted by something and all have a similar opinion on the matter- because, quite honestly... that's how THEY operate. They're organized and directed to start campaigns against things. It's manufactured outrage, and they're the shills for it.
We've seen it before, and the game is getting tiresome. All politics aside we can call this what it is- Aubrey wanted to make a name for himself because, in the comics world and beyond- he's nobody, nothing. I mean, GI Joe was practically dead in the water and he was probably the cheapest option to throw at it to see if something could happen. And he's aware of this, I'm sure- so he's stirring what controversy he can to make a name for himself and get some publicity. After this he can whine about being a victim of 'harassment' (translated into sane language: "Saying something inflammatory and hating the fact people responded in kind") and get a book deal, or he can find some publisher who thinks someone like him is marketable- he is freelance, he's not an 'employee'.
And I wouldn't worry too much about the Mary Sue. After all, they straight-up said that GI Joe lacked diversity and was a bunch of white males. Let that sink in for a bit. The Mary Sue has less credibility than a one-eyed cab driver with a neck brace. Just spend a little time looking over them- it's pretty much a 'pop culture' publication that's designed to get attention from people who aren't involved in the culture and appeal to their outrage fetish. It's for idiots, plain and simple.
The other publications are hypocritical morons at best- do yourself a favor and look back on the controversy surrounding 'The Divided States of Hysteria' and 'Holy Terror' and look at how these trillby-tippers were losing their shit and demanding firings and boycotts. But remember, with these people their rule is "It's okay if WE do it, and it's allowed if it's what WE believe!"
Just go look at comics sales right now and tell me these people are doing anything for it.
They aren't, and I look forward to seeing it all collapse on their heads.
Stop buying comics. Stop buying comic merch. Stop supporting anything to do with comics. Break them financially, capitalism always wins. I promise, it will all be fine. It'll all come down, and they'll fix it. And when it does, you don't have to be worried about being called a Nazi if you dislike something.
