    I think the issue is that a lot of "modern" aspect is just thrown in to include them. EX: Batman robin, Tim Drake, comes out to be dating a guy. But the issue is he was in the middle of a relationship w Spoiler(a girl he has a long history with together) and all of a sudden with no explanation the next story he is just dating a guy and nothing touched on it since.

    I think the issue is that comic book writers are just putting surface-level representation, or representation that feels hollow, rather than character-driven stories. Well-written characters are sacrificed for the sake of meeting a quota, and the representation ends up feeling insincere.

    As long as your character has a good story, people are fine with the diversity and stuff. But when you prioritize shoving political messages over a good story, it leads to a trashy story with a political advertisement. People don't like that.
    It shows with superhero comics from DC and Marvel suffering to pull profits while one book from My Hero Academia, which is exactly the same genre and has a lot of diverse characters, is so successful

    The problem with "wokeness" in media is not that it’s there, the problem is that it is very disingenuous. For example avatar the last airbender, this show was anti war but in a genuine way. This show also has a blind character that has a personality beyond being blind.

    It's not f-ing with my childhood it's just poor writing, like turning Robin gay makes no sense and erase a lot of things from Tim Drakes' past. Jon Kent being gay is ths only thing about him there's no story, just comic strips you would see from Tumblr years ago. That's DC and Marvel is even dumber, the moment into the spiderverse make Miles popular, he began their token black guy to use and milk to absolute shit. There's a comic where he's Thor and it's written like the writer only experience with Black people and culture is from Twitter memes. It's disrespectful and lazy.

      Yes it doesn't matter if the movie sucks and the writing is so bad and i realize when movies do that the film turns out bad. Like its all about the writing and how you film it is what really matters. Like adding a mexican fist or a black first won't really make an impact on a movie. I mean the black panther movie really did do a good job with chad and making people love the movie and maybe like black people even more. But with chad he didn't care about all that stuff he just wants to do a good job playing he's character and that' how it should be.

    @3: 27 MMA Guy: If you're complaining about comic books and how they are not just and socially accurate...
    i believe you miss understood the author/creator of that publishing co. Hes trying to create a space for people who just like comics period without the socially accurate/injust issues thats happening right now. its actually contrary to your statement, its the W O K E people who would constantly complain about wokeness which force companies like DC and MARVEL to change heroes we grew up with. basically this new publishing is saying, No we dont want wokeness on our heroes, we just want plain old good vs evil action story.
    @3: 40 David So so: The only problem i have with that is that comic shouldnt be a socio-political thing - hes never read comic books before, comic books has been about socio-political issues.
    let me just correct you mr. so so - Captain America was a P O L I T I C A L not Socio-political. Socio-political is S O C I A L and P O L I T I C A L issues combined. Back then AMERICA/G E R M A N/R U S S I A are all p o l i t i c a l issues, its Good vs Evil thats it. Now adding social + political its now Good Guy/Girl/Them/IT/XYZ vs E v i l, do you see the difference mr. so so?
    @3: 49 David so so: if hes really a comic book fan...
    Looks like he is, the reason he created his company is because for 60+years plus starting from the old Good vs Evil story, it now has evolved to Good Guy/Girl/Them/IT/XYZ vs Evil. you wouldnt notice that because you are just a consumer, he thinks like a creator thats why he caught on to the trend of companies like DC and Marvel bastardizing our beloved heroes and adding elements which is not really originally about the hero, its just used as a career stepping stone to appease the masses(w o k e masses).
    for the people who still dont understand its just this -
    old comics - Good vs Evil
    woke comics - Good Guy/Girl/Them/IT/XYZ vs E v i l

    The word "woke" has been so bastardized. It was supposed to mean being educated on social issues, but dumbasses have used it to mean any time there's a female lead in a movie and they're butthurt about it or whenever they're uncomfortable seeing gay people on screen. It's like a series will have a gay character for the first time and these people will be like "i'm so tired of woke culture." Bro, just say you don't like gay people lol. I don't mind things that are "offensive" (especially done in satire), but not offensive for the sake of mocking people's existence for who they are or wanting to be treated with respect.
    But in the reverse, you have people that will unironically say something like, "censoring cuss words in your videos infantilizes adults" or "learning ASL is cultural appropriation." Those are real things some people said lmao. Or you have people squeeze in LGBT characters to fit a quota. And David is right, comics have had social political messages for a while. Weren't the people who wrote Captain America Jewish and the comics were about being anti-nazi?

      Yes, Captain America was a direct response to World War 2. A lot of comic storylines have been social commentary. It just so happens that being LGBTQ is the social trend for the last several years. The problem is you get backlash from people who want their favorite characters as they have always been. Now there is no connection between new and old characters. It’s a sudden shift from being familiar to something completely different. I for one think new characters should be created to portray those who are LGBTQ. No sense in making old characters suddenly like men when for the last several decades they had relationships with women.

    All I wanna say is...often people who complain about "political correctness" or "wokeness in politics" are not seeing the actual issue. What is happening is not politics, it is a culture evolving. This happens constantly throughout history, and it is silly to expect otherwise. Time moves. People move, are born, grow up, learn, work, and die. Cultures shift. Those who don't like when culture changes call it political to avoid acknowledging that a previously acceptable behavior was revealed to have been offensive the whole time, just not to them. Society as a whole being willing to acknowledge that fact is not a political issue. It is a social-cultural issue, that no single person or group has any control over. That is why people scream "wokeness" and "politics", because they cannot fathom that their way of thinking is no longer socially acceptable.

Like I’m from the lgbtq community and yet, although I like that more representation is out there..sometimes it does feel overwhelming when every movie, show has to have a gay character. Look at Netflix for eg. It feels like they are rushing to put out so many lgbtq stories out there which makes the storyline feel unauthentic and just uncomfortable to watch. It’s okay to not include gay characters in everything. It doesn’t make it less inclusive. Just hopefully when you do include them, pay attention to the details.
