Breitbart news. What a nice little red flag.

And that affects the comic book sales how?
shareSo....making Superman black didn't save the world from racism, eh?
shareIn this instance, had you read the article, you would see he was turned into a bisexual superman, not a black superman, although I am sure a black superman would probably bomb too for the following reason.
It's nothing to do with racism, but to do with the changing of an original character and turning it into something it was not written to be. (Example - making a black Hermione Granger when she was written as a white character).
There is nothing wrong with creating strong black, gay, trans, bisexual, female or whatever characters in their own right but you can't blame people for getting pissed over the woke overwriting of everything and everyone nowadays, just because they can.
If, for example, you were to cast a white Rosa Parks, there would be outrage!
I've always been a supporter of casting characters in the gender, colour or whatever their part was written to be and I also get pissed off when a book is turned into a movie and they change the story - that's just me!
The problem with 'woke' Hollywood, is that there is no originality there anymore so all they can do is steal other people's works and stamp their own brand of wokeness over them instead of creating something new and different. It's lazy and unoriginal thinking and you should be demanding better roles and storylines instead of settling for mediocre score-settling.
But in this case they didn't turn Superman bi, it's Superman's son.
shareWho has taken on the role of Superman and wears the original Superman costume - not a new costume which you would expect with the introduction of a new character. The comic book is even titled 'Superman: Son of Kal-El'. So again, it's the overwriting of an iconic character.
shareBut Supergirl worked. She's Superman's cousin and wear basically the same costume. Supergirl is practically just Superman, but girl instead of man.
The four (or five) Supermen that came out after The Death of Superman failed though. Eventhough they were all males and have different costumes.
Oh THAT disgusting thing! With Superman's son being gay and having a weak little sissy boyfriend with pink hair, and they make the comic about their fucking relationship? Gee, that ought to satisfy the 2 or 3 people who were whining about lack of representation, shouldn't it?
How long is it gonna take for the rainbow mafia to realize that they didn't win anything with that erroneous supreme court decision in 2015? That no matter how much they threaten normal people and shove their disgusting lifestyle into our faces in pop culture, we normal people are NEVER going to accept them? The only reason I (and others like me) am polite to them in public is because of the invisible gun the local authorities hold to my skull every day of every week, 24/7, warning me not to say anything against them or I'll get in trouble. You can imagine how much colder and sharper that gun feels against my temple online.
"Superman who fights climate change and saves illegal immigrants from racist white guys?"
Probably the first ever Superman's comic book that the level of crime went up and not down. Why we need Superman if he deals with such nonsense. It's like the DC version of "defunding the police".
There's not enough of π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
But Superman is a white guy. Illegal immigrant tho'.
