What happened?For a while comic characters were every where in media news being revealed as queer?Kitty Pryde, Rachel Summers, Jon Kent, Tim Drake, Hercules, Loki, Iceman, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, etc. etc.At first I thought news sites stopped covering this but then I look into it and no characters are coming out as gay anymore. I think Gwenpool as asexual was the last one.What happened? Why has it stopped?I was expecting Storm, Magik or Zatanna to be out by now.
>>150718079Kitty Pride has a girlfriend, Magik is lesbian for Dani.Read comics faggot
I've been disliking Pulp fiction. There's something about that repetitive tropey writing that makes me sick. Maybe that's why I always get tired. I really have to do something more productive with my life. Wageslaving only gives me time to consume crap, but I have to put more effort into getting out of this “life.” How can you guys consume so much crap? Even when it's “good.”
>>150718128I do read comics you asshole anon.Kitty came out 3 years ago. I mentioned her.I see no where that Magik and Dani are sexually attracted to each other in the current Magik series.
>>150718155This is a Wendy’s sir.
>>150718079I thought for sure someone from the F4 would come out by now. Surprised no gay person in that franchise.Probably not Johnny but I figure one of the 4 kids
>>150718203Dani is lesbian now?
>>150718079Because superhero fatigue is a thing, and cape comics are miserable enough to read that not even injecting more queerness into them is going to save it anymore.
>>150718364I disagree.For example, announcing Impulse is gay would cause more people lol into and curiously read Impulse.
Now with the new DC/Marvel crossovers, there’s plenty of sexuality to explore.
>>150718128Where was it said Magik was gay?
People on the right kept having meltdowns over gay superheroes, so they stopped.
>>150718556You dense bastard, how have you not yet figured out by now that turning a character into an homosexual means they're as good as dead to most of the audience that actually buys cape comics, and nobody will actually buy their books? For the people running Marvel and DC to let it go on is just intentional sabotage of the company's intellectual properties.
>>150719306Black Cat and Catwoman and Harley Quinn and Posion Ivy are doing just fine:
Because it was a gimmick for the speculator marketing. When Absolute and Ultimate thought sales back, it disappeared
>>150718079The overton window has shifted from trying to appeal to a queer market they didn’t genuinely care about to pandering to an anti-woke market because it’s more profitable in the short term.
>>150719590>>150719306
>>150719590I think a lot of the diversity stuff was an attempt to get trades into libraries (way more libraries than LCSes and they pay sticker price plus digital license) but graphic novel sections in my local libraries have become laughably small (just way fewer books overall and “open floorplan” shit to deter reprobates) so they pissed away their existing audience for nothing. It’s over, Johnny.
Have you noticed that for all the gay couples and characters unveiled, barely anyone shipped them or drew fanart and instead went back to their yaoi OTPs?If there's one thing I've learned about gay fandom culture, it's that the shipping scene is about as rabid as the straight one. A lot of the ones who shipped Tim with Conner still prefer Tim with Stephanie to Tim with Bernard for the simple fact that Tim with Bernard is boring.So they basically just missed the shot entirely
You just posted 2 good characters that were ruined. I dropped comics for good when they did them dirty like this. In these 6 years, i am sure at least 40% of marvel and dc must be gay by now.
>>150718280Thing wants a beef frank in his bagel
>>150718128Kitty Pride and Magik always had bisexual vibes.
>>150721255I think I will cry when Claremont dies
>>150719294Gay superheroes are an oxymoron since they’ll probably start declaring that terrorized civilians “deserve it” and get off on their plight.What you actually get is weird soap dramas and passive aggression towards the former audience - of course they get upset about it. I suppose some people can only hope to damage other people’s lives during their lives, but again, it’s a contradiction with actually telling superhero stories.
>>150720934That is pretty strange.
>>150718079>Kitty PrydeChris Claremont >Rachel SummersMight had been implied during Excalibur days. Don't remember.>Jon KentTom Taylor did it for social media points.>Tim Drake¯\_(ツ)_/¯>HerculesJust classic Greek mythology. It's norm to fuck both men and women.>LokiIt's Loki. He also fucked a horse and gave birth to a horse.>IcemanJust Bendis taking revenge against 616 Iceman for Ultimate Iceman dating Ultimate Kitty Pryde, cheating on Ultimate Kitty Pryde, and then breaking Ultimate Kitty Pryde's heart.>Catwoman¯\_(ツ)_/¯>Poison IvyPoison Ivy been bisexual since forever.>Harley QuinnHarley Quinn been bisexual since forever.
>>150718280I'm a bit surprised Johnny hasn't been confirmed bisexual by now.
>>150721450Johnny Storm would had been better off if he was bisexual then whatever they are currently doing with him.
>>150718079USAID was cut.
>>150721479Would Doom kill hiimseld after seeing this (remember that Johnny cucked him at his wedding)
>>150718079They save it for June
>>150718280Wouldn’t the Skrull daughter of Ben and Alicia be the safe bet?
>>150718079Miss America Chavez is all the representation there needs to be
>>150722134What a perverted girl.
>>150718079Bump
>>150720934No one draws fan art of Tim with Stephanie, or writes fap fic about them. You are right that Bernard hasn't really moved the needle but the middle aged housewives and Asian teen fan girls who prop up those fan sites are fixated on whatever it was that popped their clitoris full erect when their balls drops, just like the collection of imbeciles here with their weekly "FUNBAG" threads or "POST ASS" threads. So those people who aren't drawing Tim with Kon (which is actually more of the gay fan artists), they are drawing Tim with Jason still or writing Tim with Jason (although plenty write Trans Jason or Trans Tim or other stupid nonsense). FFS there are still idiots writing and drawing an underaged Jon with the demon spawn.
>>150719294They're currently having a meltdown over a trans character in a cartoon Netflix cancelled two years agoIts pathetic
>>150722917Steph with Cass is preferred
>>150718079>LBGTQ dumbass
>>150721426The problem is, any of these "bisexual" characters are now just lesbians or gays with nothing but the title of "bi" because they can't just delete their former relationships. But don't get it twisted, none of them, including Black Cat, are ever going to end up in a heterosexual relationship again.
>>150721450>>150721479They seem to always teter on the edge but never officially "confirming" it. Although Anthony Oliveira has tried most recently.
>>150724019>are ever going to end up in a heterosexual relationship again.Tell that to Daken, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, John Constantine, etc.
>>150724240All almost barely examples. Wonder Woman and Catwoman to my knowledge have never been in actual bi relationships, either. Isn't WW just implied in the main DC Universe too? And Catwoman had like, the one kiss and they immediately moved on and never mentioned it again?
>>150722917>no one draws fanart of tim with stephanieWhat? There's a weekly one that gets about 1k likes each time.
gross thread
