Boycotting Ike Perlmutter and Marvel? Really?

Okay, maybe someone can explain this to me, because I’m not getting something.

I’m seeing fans react with all manner of outrage because Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter donated a million dollars to Donald Trump. People are decrying him for it and naturally people are shouting that Marvel should be boycotted.

Except Perlmutter didn’t donate money to Trump’s presidential campaign. He donated a million bucks to help veterans. And it was his own money; it wasn’t like he skimmed a mill off the top of the last quarter’s profits and sent that in.

So…isn’t donating money to help vets a GOOD thing? A NOBLE thing? Something to be lauded for?

I mean, yeah, I suppose Trump could misuse the money or something. But that doesn’t seem to be weighing in to the vituperation. Instead people are just saying, “Perlmutter donated to Trump! What a dick!”

What am I missing here?
