This is nonsense. There is no major movement to change the age of consent that will lead to child rape. At most age of consent should be on a scale… for example consensual sex between a 17 year old and an 18 year old shouldn’t be considered rape.
Agreed on the broad-brushing.
She-ra was fine because she was always She-ra. She’s not a trans version of a formerly male character. Same thing with Glee. I guess my issue is when they transform characters for the sake of political correctness and quotas.
I know whose standards you are talking about. Some traditional standards are irrational and outdated, others make sense and should still be followed. Its not something that can be dealt with with a single blanket plan. It’s all a balance between freedom and potential harm.
Characters “transform” all the time. New characters are constantly being created, and sometimes they take on the identities of old ones. Comics are always changing, and they always have.
Whenever I see people complain that an old character has been changed, it immeditely screams “not actually a comic fan, just a fan of outrage”.
I am ok with nick names like Mikey instead of mike but not ZEr, Ze all that stuff is silly. Even my gay friends and I have two plus a nephew isn’t on board. I found through them the lgtbtq community really isn’t a community after all. A size-able portion of them straight out hate each other in the gay and lesbian community.
Any friend of mine who wouldn’t respect my desires to go by another name, regardless of what it is, isn’t a true friend.
Yes, there’s a lot of infighting and there are anti-trans segments as well. This is also true of the left in general. Its funny how often someone on the right implies how lockstep the left is when the reality is that its super fractured.
Used to watch some of the shows like the Incredible Hulk, but that’s been like 40 years.
I’m old!
I just think it’s silly characters that have withstood the test of time are being transformed to a version that maybe a minority of one minority group may like.
Next up—Bruce Banner must become Brenda & The Incredible Hulk gets make up, a pushup hra and a dress!
I’m sure they were looking for more of the Heavy Metal-esque figures.
I guess I figure it is done for political correctness and quotas because of what I’ve seen with the new rules for the Oscars. It just feels abnormally pushed or forced just for the sake of diversity.
I love The Boys, but never read the comics. I once again assume they had to make characters on television female instead of male to attract more viewers or are pushing the woke narrative.
That’s what I mean, diversity just for the sake of diversity. Although they are fictional characters they still resonate with people. If Hollywood changed Black Panther into White Panther we would see outrage from the other side for sure.
I care because established characters are, well, established. Just because I don’t read comics doesn’t mean I can’t be a fan of Marvel or DC movies or shows.
