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).
