Is this a reverse of her situation in the original Age of X: Legion Edition , a few years ago ? Legion made her physically English in his pocket reality , but she reverted to being Japanese in 616...

And will this make the Psylocke X Blob pairing now ... “problematic” , considering the Optics ? Hmmm...

Psylocke/Betsy looks just like Revanche/Kwannon again, in Age of Xman

She looks white and Asian. But also, this is Nate reality warping people. That's probably why.

Because of how artists handle faces differently, it is extremely important that they distinguished OG Elizabeth with that new hairstyle and color. But ehhhh that's for stinkers, so just make her House of N design immediately look like the 90's one again.

It's just the art. A lot of artists just draw Lee's Psylocke cuz that's what they're used to. Originally Posted by JuanLaban

...What? I don't see how it would be problematic for Blob to get with Kwannon. So what's the issue if he was getting with japanese Betsy? Originally Posted by JuanLaban

While I'm happy they changed Betsy back to white, it is still hard to imagine her that way. Originally Posted by Triniking1234

Fat White Guy (w/ porny-looking moustache) + East Asian-looking supermodel = perceived pandering to “Yellow Fever” fetish of stereotypical nerds . Nobody here seriously imagined this?! Originally Posted by Wiccan

I think you're reaching. Just because there are guys like that, doesn't mean that every asian girl dating a white guy is a case of it. There's no indication that Blob or Warren are some sort of fetishizing incel nerds or something. And in regards to this series specifically, Psylocke is supposed to be the white version and she's being written as such. If you want to blame the artist for her still looking asian, sure, but that's all you can complain about really. Originally Posted by JuanLaban

We haven't even seen this "romance" on page yet and people are already trying to throw fetish terminology on it? Lordt it must be Wednesday. Originally Posted by JuanLaban

I have to sort of kind of agree. Of course, with Warren, whIle there was definitely a physical connection, the two of them had a very emotional relationship that was based on their shared upbringing and experiences as X-Men. Originally Posted by JuanLaban

In the little bit we see of him in this week's issue, Blob doesn't come across as a monster, he doesn't seem needlessly cruel. I imagine both he and Betsy feel conflicted on their jobs and share similar feelings and experiences.
That doesn't mean that there's no fetish here. I mean, you almost never see a hot guy date an ugly or unconventional attractive woman.

I feel like a lot of artists are missing the memo on the change Elizabeth has went through. I know that Betsy tends to be inconsistent and they keep messing up her hair color in a lot of material. Who are the editors that are in charge of this? You think they will have a way to notify people on the updated look of a character. :/ I bet you if she appears in another comic she will look differently. It is expected.

I know what you want. But it is not here. It's gone and it will never ever come again...

It also doesn't mean there IS a fetish here. Right? We have no context to their relationship other than a cover. Literally that's it. I know we like to jump to conclusions on this board but we should allow the writers to help provide context to their relationship before assuming it's something like "yellow fever" (which is just a gross name to begin with). And I disagree that Warren and Betsy's relationship would fit this category regardless of his blue skin. They have immensely similar backgrounds and childhoods as wealthy and privileged WHITE CHILDREN, nevermind they both had their bodies twisted and experimented on. Regardless of the body she was in, it doesn't remove the fact that up until like two years Marvel time the she was a attractive white woman so for me it does no work. Originally Posted by Rosebunse
