So that's where the Fantastic Four went. No wonder nobody knows where they are, they're in a lovely DC book nobody reads.

So um Justice Lord Man still didn't appear in Superman and the arc is over now.

It was a good arc but I feel rather misled?

Was that image posted before really from the current issues? Because it looked pretty similar to how he was drawn in Justice League Beyond 2.0 so I was kind of curious.

The actual bad guy was a bunch of nothing interesting, so while I have no investment in whatever you guys were getting excited about, it could only have been better, so that's a shame.

Also, Captain Carrot getting his powers back was crap. I wanted the Kents to adopt him as a little bunny in a cape :/

We get that you don't like gay people. You've made proclamation after proclamation about it. But Snagglepuss pretty much has been gay since he was invented. Just not explicitly so because you know he was a cartoon character from the '60s.

When I was a kid in the 1960's we'd call it a sissy, or just plain silly voice! We didn't have to think about guys porking each other at all as we skipped off to school after our cartoons.
At least there's hope of innocent times returning. M.A.G.A!

I'd say in the first game those sharp chest polygons were only about as suggestive as Snagglepuss' voice.

Is there any actual proof from the creators that he was intended to be gay or are people just looking into it because of his coloring and flamboyant attitude? I'm legit curious about this.

If it makes you feel better, these comics aren't making lasting fundamental 'true' adjustments to the characters.
Next time Dick Dastardly shows up in a cartoon, they probably aren't going to mention the time he let his wife and child get vaporised.

edit: Or even the next comic where he's a jet pilot.

Snagglepuss is clearly gay, and I also suspect that Huckleberry Hound is gay. This is more controversial, but I think I could sustain the point.

They produced but never broadcast a cartoon where he has sex with Huckleberry Hound, so I think he was intended to be gay.

Why do you hate gay people so very much? What about their existence angers you so much that the main thing you care about is there being as few gay characters presented in fiction as possible?

No hate. I just want them to introduce new gay characters instead of being cowardly and retroactively making existing characters gay just to get headlines and free marketing.

I appreciate that. Like I said I mean no disrespect to the LGBTQA community I just don't like when this stuff feels forced.

Sorry that I have a life outside of posting here that I have been VERY busy with. I did some research about Snagglepuss and surprise surprise there is 0 evidence the creators intended for him to be gay. Some internet ID politic obsessed liberals just began speculating that he was gay later on and made it into thing. Aside from that, I hope to post here more frequently without bringing up these sensitive topics. I am a longtime fan of DC Comics going back to the 80s and am generally a fan of what they are doing these days.

I vaguely remember Snaglepuss from the cartoons I used to watch as a child and while I haven't been impressed or interested by DC's HB comics (or any of Russell's previous output) I have to say that the preview page is really good. Mainly because I think that is a beautiful message Rusell is telling.

Definitely something worth a look.

So this is a wild and insane thing but in many cases (I'd guess most honestly) gay people have to pretend to be straight to avoid a backlash.So if anything, having a traditionally "straight" character come out as gay is actually very realistic.

The problem is that you and people like you claim that homosexuality is "forced" upon you every time a gay character exists anywhere you can see it. Thanks to reactions like that, retcons that make previously straight characters gay are anything but cowardly, since people like you take it as an opportunity to vent your distaste for the mere existence of gay/minority characters and frequently harass creators and editors for daring to diversify an industry that is still 90% straight white dudes in tights. People get doxxed over this, they get death threats and rape threats, and you've got the impressively sheltered gall to call the artists and writers cowardly.

In conclusion eat poo poo
