I don't see the big deal either. Not sure why we have to change characters to do it though.

Oops sorry I misresd your post. As for your question I think it's done cause new characters tend to fade into limbo pretty quickly, especially lgbt chars since it's kind of hard for them to appear in media outside of comics
[QUOTE=DragonsChi;4578598]There's still representation present though and Power Pack is pretty much young FF.
Not only that the reasoning that out of four characters none of being LGBT is a problem is somewhat faulty logic.
Can you provide a single reason as to why Johnny should be gay, that does not involve representation, because their is some already, or any other reason that does not represent how the character has been proytraed? Give reasons that will help the character grow or be more popular in Superhero Comics. Without "Representation" being the Crux to the point.[/QUOTE]
1. No one said he should be gay. The whole point of the thread is that he's bi.
2. There's not a goddamn limit or quota on something like this.
3. Can you provide a single reason as to why Johnny should be straight that does not involve "He's dated women" or something similar?
4. "because their is some already" ...we've covered there's not in the Fantastic 4.
[QUOTE=DragonsChi;4578600]I don't see the big deal either. Not sure why we have to change characters to do it though.[/QUOTE]
And yet if someone creates a new character...them existing at all will be whined about by some of the very same people complaining about the idea of Johnny being bi.

The Power Pack aren't the Fantastic Four. You can't just say "close enough" and be done with it.
Never said it was a problem.
I have read several instances which can be read as Johnny being bi and think that it could be cool if it happened. Simple. Representation isn't bad thing and wanting more is not bad, I don't have to give a reason why with such constraints just because you don't like representation being a reason. Especially as you have yet to back up your point which is:
[QUOTE]There are so many already now, to the point that almost every other new character is on the LBGT specturm.[/QUOTE]
The burden of proving their point is on yourself, not me.

Well thats currently incorrect. Since there is a marvel tv/cartoon show filled with new charcters with failed solo and group titles currently on tv today. Not only that but that same group of failed solo title new heroes has two LGBT characters in it...so...yeah.

Its Your thread and your push to change cannon. So yeah it is up to you.
The idea that out of every group of 4 one of them would/should be gay is false. It be hard to keep a population going of it wore just based of the repoduction aspect.
What type of men do you guys think Johnny is into

Already posted my point several times with the panels. While you have given nothing more than saying you don't like it. You've made several statements on how the LGBT community are "the most represented minority group". You've yet to prove that.
I never said that, so I don't know where you're getting your second point from.

Yeah, that's wrong.
On multiple fronts.
I initially thought no, but damn... Those scans convinced me. Get it, Blizzard!

I already see that no reason would be deemed "worthy" by you and I have nothing to prove to you. If a poster sincere in wanting to know the reason why asks, I'll answer. But you've made your views [B]very[/B] transparent.
Especially when you claim I posted context-less panels when the very first image I gave context to and most of the rest speak for themselves.
