And it has to feel natural. Shoehorning in a sexual preference just to check a box and appease some groups doesn't work.

Exactly. I'm sure there is a great gay superhero that could be written. In fact, I'm sure one (or more) already has been. Why not give him/her/they their own movie rather than trying to make Ben Grimm a closet case?

No, but he's a great example of a badass gay character that is beloved by everyone. So it obviously isn't that people don't want to see gay characters. Omar makes a mockery of the bigotry/homophobia narrative. People have a connection to characters and they just don't like when you fuck with their notions about a character. Wonder Woman is not a lesbo!

I don't mind them at all. But you have to write new characters. You can't just make Spiderman black or have Captain America start sucking dicks.


lol. yeah. its so over the top.

I hope I'm wrong and there is a resurgence of pride in the accomplishments of western civilization and a newfound desire to protect it.

It would be ok to make Robin from Batman gay, because everybody realized he probably was going back to Burt Ward.

But having characters suddenly come out seems inappropriate to the franchises. Write new characters.

Quote:
Consider why Dick’s Sporting Goods was selling assault rifles in the first place, or why a place like Cabela’s, which is ostensibly a camping store, continues to do so.


Uh, Cabela's is not primarily a camping store.

Quote:
Why does a conglomerate like Vista and a store like Dick’s sell both rifles and bike helmets? Because the outdoor industry is strange like that.


So he finds it confusing that an outdoors store sells both guns and also bike helmets.

And he follows it up with this gem.

This shithead lives in SoMa. The only animals he ever sees are French bulldogs and golden doodles.

Seems slightly premature.

Also is that the best picture the author could dig up?

I know they don't like Peyton Manning, and I know they REALLY don't like Papa John, so whatever interpretation reflects poorly on both of them (Peyton for being nothing but a corporate shill, Papa for his protests take) is probably the intention.

Their site is so sad now. Just about every article they post now is through the lens of someone being offended by something. I miss the site that got in trouble for posting sex videos of wrestlers.
