This guy actually had a valid point. Don't change a character to being gay/straight/bi just to appease a crowd of people. I mean if you want to make a character that later realizes he/she is gay or bi, set the story up in advance. That way people are aware of the conflicted mind of the character, and are more open to accepting a change like that.

This one I think has less to do with homophobia, and more to do with people being immersed in a story. Marvel did it to Iceman, even though he's been a notorious for having various girlfriends, and never once had any inkling towards being gay. I think in the 40+ years he's been around there would have been SOME hint. The newest Fantastic Four did it when they made Johnny and Sue storm adopted brother and sister. Some people just like their story as it is and don't like these spontaneous changes. It happens though, unfortunately.

quote:

You make a few good points Ryan, and you are definitely on point with the multiverse issue. The problem I am referring to is spontaneously making a character (_______) fill in the blank, is always done because of an agenda, or because someone's feelings were hurt, or someone's opinion is louder than others. The reason this is a problem is because it devalues the very goal of the lgbt community. You want to be recognized? Then have someone recognize you from the start instead of changing things to make you fit. You wouldn't cut the edges off a puzzle piece and jam it where it doesn't belong would you?

*disclaimer* that is NOT me saying gay people do not belong, that is me saying that making a piece fit doesn't always show the real picture. That picture should resemble something like all people are equal. Not a miss matched bunch of images that were forced into play for various reasons.

It may not be about money either though Ryan. It may be saving face, inclusion, oversight. Some of these are obviously more forgivable than others, like if Blizzard "forgot" to put a gay character in a game, and rewrote a story to add one, then cool, inclusion.

Oversight is probably the worst, new manager comes in with an agenda and messes up a story arc because they have the power to do so.

I just think when it's not natural, and wasn't a part of the initial process, it feels forced, and that does the movement little to no service.

Oh, and so there is no confusion, being gay is a very natural thing, which is why I'm against the very unnatural way it's forced into some mediums. Someone who's gay wouldn't just one day be like "I'm gay come kiss me boys/girls". That shows a very distinct lack of awareness and a lack of respect. Take from this what you will.

Mob is good. Hold out past the kind comedy-plot-a-day first half, it really does get better.

I really like mob psycho 100. It's a little simple but it does cool things with the narrative in the vein of One Punch Man. mob is a nice potato.
