| @Jsmead1 Great.... more woke content... Let me guess, they are going to be queer too? Oh NVM.... I actually read a little of the article... "Eliza Han — a bi-racial pansexual teen..." |

Superman has a new cape, more in line with the character. It was a gift from his boyfriend as you can see in the (spoiler?) image below.  |

| @Jsmead1 From article, “Jack Harkness from Doctor Who, Lando Calrissian from Star Wars, and Klaus Gargreeves in The Umbrella Academy are among pansexual characters in media.” Lando is pansexual?  Hal, too. I thought with the reception of the GL movie, DC would go back to the roots of the character, not further this direction. |

| Jack Harkness is a great character and Torchwood is underrated stateside. Klaus is great too. Off topic but Aidan Gallagher (Number 5 from Umbrella Academy) is an incredible young actor. Probably the best I’ve seen in a long time. Only “probably” because I have only seen him in Umbrella. |

| Some things work better and are more easily accepted if they are not constantly rammed down our throats. Just saying. |

| Can a mod combine a few of these threads so all the angry people have a safe space to express their feelings without cluttering the forum? Maybe it could be titled "I'm not reading/watching this" or "IBTL". | ||

| @xkonk No ones angry. We can express our feels just as much as people that are trying to force their feelings/beliefs/lifestyles down our throats. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk So let me get this straight. Because I and others post news articles related to comic books/movies/TV shows, as conversation starters, we are all angry people? And then to imply we use this as a "safe place" to express our feeling? To top it off, We are "cluttering up the forum"? That's offensive! If you are not reading/watching this, then stop commenting and trolling the people who do. |

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk I understand what you are getting at, but these are comic book related articles. As long as politics are not involved, it's good to go. I do want to point out one thing. There is no reason whateoever that articles supporting these movies and promoting the "woke agenda" can't be shared in a thread here. The "agenda" alone is not political, but social. If it was political, then the all the threads would have to go. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC That was part of it. Another part is that this is, first and foremost, a comic book forum. I would hope that people can be adult enough to not get personal or political about comic book related issues. If that means we have to have two threads (one positive, one negative) about the same movie or publisher, so be it. Edit - politics are not comic book related. If there are ever legislative bills, laws or congressional hearings about comic books, we'll review then. |

| On a more personal note, I pre-ordered both of these books from MCS this morning BECAUSE of this thread!!! Originally, I had seen both, considered them and opted to not order them. So, thanks for sharing @Jsmead1!!! I, for one, enjoy reading comics and watching movies about people who are different than I am in one way or another. It helps me to understand their situations better. I enjoy experiencing other cultures and seeing different opinions and lifestyles. Whenever I read or watch something comic related, I've always been able to be drawn in to the stories. I have found that I develop more empathy for others that way. This has been, and probably will always be, my experience. |

Just a side note, This was a parody of Seduction of the Innocent... a book by German-born American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of juvenile delinquency. The book was taken seriously at the time in the United States, and was a minor bestseller that created alarm in American parents and galvanized them to campaign for censorship. At the same time, a U.S. Congressional inquiry was launched into the comic book industry. Subsequent to the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, the Comics Code Authority was voluntarily established by publishers to self-censor their titles. In the decades since the book's publication, Wertham's research has been disputed by scholars. |

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster I didn't ask for the topic or threads to be banned, just organized. There was a discussion in another thread about creating a consolidated thread for CS complaints. It would avoid cluttering the forum with multiple threads that are essentially the same thing as well as allow a mod and/or CS to monitor it more effectively. Also, there are lots of questions about TATs, regular posts about the cover contest, etc.; they got organized and stickied at the top of the forum. People in the past have also asked for topics/folders like on the CGC forum. I don't see why this is different. There are three active threads on essentially this topic, and there have been many others in the past. It seems worthy of being consolidated. |

| Let the sales figures do the talking. We ARE talking about capitalism here, after all. If they wind up taking a huge loss, they will be discontinued. It's all about money, folks. Can we think of any other story lines or subjects the suits thought would fly and didn't, then got canceled? |
