Serious Please Bring Back Sinkie Superoheroes Virus Vanguard! Where's Captain Singapore?

[JohnTan]

A commissioned effort by the Singapore government to lighten the mood during our bleak climate incited a lot more anger than laughs yesterday (April 20).

Following a whole lot of flak from the internet, the band of fictional coronavirus-themed cartoon Singaporean superheroes called Virus Vanguard has been taken down from both the Gov.sg website and the Facebook page.

In its place right now is a post that apologised for any offence caused and a message that called for ideas or suggestions on Virus Vanguard while it’s being reviewed.

Though the original post promoting the characters on Sunday (April 19) did not mention Virus Vanguard’s original creators, the subsequent Gov.sg post clarified that the denounced project had been a collaborative effort with local artist collective Band of Doodlers (BOD).




What were people mad about?
The widespread wrath stemmed from some of the origin stories of the superhero squad, which comprised Dr Disinfector, Fake News Buster, Must Always Walk Alone (MAWA) Man, Circuit Breaker, and Care-leh Dee.

Shouldn't have mentioned the EPL teams. Gov dot sg (which I believe is a subsidiary of the PMO) must have hired an immature imbecile millennial.

Fucking waste time and money creating comics. They think this virus is child's play. KNN!

AS EXPECTED, THEY STOLE THE PEEJURES FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
THEY DID NOT CREATE IT.
BUT STEAL AND PLAGIARISE THE WORKS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
AND CLAIMED THAT THEY DID IT THEMSELVES.

JUST LIKE THE FUCKING MAGGOTS MAGGOTESS OF STINKAPORE.

KAPOR FROM LEFT, KAPOR FROM RIGHT AND CLAIM THEY INVENT THE FUCKING SHIT THING.

NO FUCKING SHAME AT ALL AS EXPECTED FROM THOSE WITH NO FUCKING HONOR AND INTEGRITY IN EVERY FUCKING THING

Don't expect creativity and originality from a totalitarian shithole. When you are a totalitarian shithole, there is no freedom to express yourself, so plagiarizing and copying becomes your forte. Sounds like some other country...

Pray tell how the fuck does a bunch of Sinkie superheroes fight against an adversary that cannot be seen ?
Or should it be fighting the CCPee instead ?
