The Minority Displacement Thread

[butterflykyss]

*Pirate Kitty

Tbh for me it's not even the fact that she's leading them. It's just her in general.

[yogaflame]

I'd be fine with Kitty being on the team if it was Storm as captain and financier under the auspices of Mutantes Sans Frontières , which still has a slush fund courtesy of Wakanda's former Queen.

Agreed. I don’t even mind that Storm isn’t leading. I just wish it wasn’t Kitty.

[Silver Fang]

I had to laugh at this. Nothing big.

But if they're gonna greenwash, they need to at least be thorough. The kid's lip is still brown here.

lmao

[anyajenkins]

Lol, well, nothing says fictional green characters can’t have a brown-pink lip.

I’m not sure about kitty as leader again either...not really sure what draw is with her as leader...

I created a "Minority Report" on the recently-announced wave of X-Books.



My very conservative scoring system is as such:

All scores are calculated by multiplying the percentage of members by the max points (ie 50% women * 50 max points = 25 pts).

Women on Team
To score any points women must:
- Make up at least 37% of the team
- Have more than one woman on the team
- Max Points: 50

LGBTQ+
- Max Points: 50

People of Color
- Max Points: 100

The highest possible score is 200, but I consider passing to be 80-200, fair is 60-79, and poor is anything below 59.


This sounds so nitpicky and is soooo very SJW of me, but Hickman got me all in my 'making charts' feels.

[anyajenkins]

Charts for everyone! it’s even color coded, easy to read. I laugh that the ‘summer’s family’ book got the loser score.

[Killerbee911]

In defense of X-men, It is pretty clearly explained that roster is going to rotate and that group of characters isn't the permanent roster. Which mean X-force is the worse book in terms of diversity

[Silver Fang]

I can agree on X-Men. Though it may have been better to lead with different characters on the cover. lol

But Hickman SEEMS like he takes characters of color seriously and it was a good few pictured on the rotating roster.

Monet
Frenzy
Storm

Depends if he really will bring back Synch & Skin. lol He'll have Psylocke.

So while it may not be overflowing with color, it is still doing better than what we're used to.

I...duplicated colors and I just noticed it now.

Oh yeah for sure. That one is hard to judge--hoping the Summers Family Reunion + Sometimes Daddy Logan is just a #1 gimmick/opening arc sort of thing because there is nothing I care about less than their overgrown family tree lol.

lol I feel like he is bringing back Angelo and Everett or at least one or the other. He's hyped them/Gen X too much to not do right by them.

As X-fan it is cool to see them finally interact . We even get Cable at an age where he can parented by his mom and dad without it being awkward. As a one time thing it is cool. The only thing I am worried about is the floating roster(who is confirmed to appear)

Frenzy,Maggot, Forge, M

Polaris ,Dazzler, Boom Boom, Hope,Lifeguard ,Husk

Nightcrawler,Archangel,Strong Guy,Madrox,Banshee,Pete Wisdom,Cannonball,Northstar and Doop

The students Armor, Surge, Anole, Rockslide, Shark Girl, Gold balls,Ernst, No girl ,Mercury, Genesis, Scout, Oya, Cuckoos

I don't see next arc of X-men being all that diverse unless they are pulling from other books which is possibility. Most of the names feel like cameo but I will wait and see

Yeah, I hope more diversity of thought is considered more often. Character is arguably as important as skin color after all.

[nandes]

Can we talk about the whitewashing of Karima Shapandar? Not exactly (only) Hickman/Larraz's fault, but still pretty upsetting:

Her initial appearance in CC's Excalibur


Drawn by Ramos during Carey's run


After that there was some sort of course correction when she returned to human form in Wood's X-women title


But now in HoX she's back to being whitewashed

[MYCMTSC]

Yeah under Coipel too
