While promoting [[Iron Fist season 2|the second season of ''Iron Fist'']] at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Loeb appeared on stage wearing a [[karate gi]] and headband as part of a comic bit with ''Iron Fist'' actress [[Jessica Henwick]], who forced him to remove the costume.  The stunt was heavily criticized as [[Cultural appropriation|culturally insensitive]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.teenvogue.com/story/marvel-executive-jeph-loeb-under-fire-karate-uniform-iron-fist-comic-con|title=A Marvel Executive Is Under Fire for Wearing a Karate Uniform to Promote "Iron Fist"|date=July 20, 2018|website=Teenvogue.com|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=July 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180722011317/https://www.teenvogue.com/story/marvel-executive-jeph-loeb-under-fire-karate-uniform-iron-fist-comic-con|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/krishrach/marvels-head-of-television-appeared-at-comic-con-in-fake|title=People Have Mixed Feelings About Marvel's Head Of TV Dressing In Karate Uniform To Promote "Iron Fist"|website=Buzzfeednews.com|date=July 20, 2018|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=July 21, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180721123417/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/krishrach/marvels-head-of-television-appeared-at-comic-con-in-fake|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blog.angryasianman.com/2018/07/this-is-what-marvel-executive-jeph-loeb.html|title=This is What Marvel Executive Jeph Loeb Wore to the Iron Fist Panel at San Diego Comic-Con|website=Blog.angryasainman.com|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=December 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211210162940/http://blog.angryasianman.com/2018/07/this-is-what-marvel-executive-jeph-loeb.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

During the #SaveDaredevilCon panel for Comic-Con@Home in July 2020, [[Peter Shinkoda]], a Canadian actor of [[Japanese Canadians|Japanese descent]] who played recurring villain [[Nobu Yoshioka]] on ''Daredevil'', suggested that Loeb forced the show's writers to drop proposed storylines fleshing out Nobu and fellow recurring villain [[Gao (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Madame Gao]]. Shinkoda accused Loeb of explaining to writers that "there were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy called ''[[Blade (franchise)|Blade]]'' that was made where [[Wesley Snipes]] killed 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a shit so don't write about Nobu and Gao."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2020/07/daredevil-peter-shinkoda-jeph-loeb-asian-racist-comments-1202995534/|title='Daredevil' Actor Peter Shinkoda Claims Jeph Loeb Made Anti-Asian Comments During Production Of Netflix Series|first=Dino-Ray|last=Ramos|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]].com|date=July 27, 2020|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=May 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220513231041/https://deadline.com/2020/07/daredevil-peter-shinkoda-jeph-loeb-asian-racist-comments-1202995534/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/marvel-tv-jeph-loeb-racism-peter-shinkoda-daredevil|title=Marvel TV's race issues were even worse than we thought|first=Eric|last=Francisco|website=Inverse.com|date=July 27, 2020|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=December 3, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211203202801/https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/marvel-tv-jeph-loeb-racism-peter-shinkoda-daredevil|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/daredevil-actor-peter-shinkoda-says-jeph-loeb-told-writ-1844511712|title=Daredevil Actor Peter Shinkoda Says Jeph Loeb Told Writers Not to Develop Asian Characters|website=Gizmodo.com|date=July 26, 2020|access-date=December 10, 2021|archive-date=May 31, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230531201558/https://gizmodo.com/daredevil-actor-peter-shinkoda-says-jeph-loeb-told-writ-1844511712|url-status=live}}</ref>  Shinkoda also claimed that he and Gao's actress [[Wai Ching Ho]] were not invited to the [[Daredevil season 2|season 2]] premiere of ''Daredevil'' and received less payment than the extras.
