Get what right making their African American character second fiddle to choose white protagonist for 10 years and 20 films? To break the Norm once then do it again but with a white female lead. Sure their breaking the mold now but let’s not pretend they didn’t have their own issues
George Perez, Cyborg's co-creator and artist on The New Teen Titans clearly shown that Cyborg's manhood was intact when he drew a splash page for an issue of the New Teen Titans in the early 80s. Cyborg has had a number of girlfriends-Sarah Simms, Sarah Charles, Variant etc.. Cyborg and Sarah Charles had an intimate moment in the pages of New Titans which clearly illustrated that he could had sex. In John Semper Jr.'s Cyborg Rebirth series Cyborg had sex with Variant. Sarah Charles was written has his soulmate. And he ran into an old girlfriend from high school. In BVS he was cut in half but in Justice League movie it seems that it was retcon and that his limbs was only dismembered. There were times in the comics were Cyborg was fully human somewhat such as the 3 part story that ended the New Teen Titans first run, which DC for some reason did not collect in tradepaperback. And after his soul was transfered into the Omegadrome body Nightwing created a human clone for him. When he was human Vic could still become Cyborg because the Omega drone was within his body but then the Thinker came along and froze Vic into a Cyborg and back to his old self.
If DC really wanted to they could make Cyborg fully human again with cybernetics running discretely within his cells or veins. But it seems that it's not the route that they want to go for Cyborg. They do not want to make him a wish fullfillment character or a self insert for fans. DC seems adamant about keeping Cyborg the way that he is now.
I never told you to feel a certain way-- That's what you did, and it's clear you don't care for perspectives other than your own. I told you why people have a problem with it, in other words, why it's problematic.
You can think or feel about it however you want-- Doesn't change the fact that it's divisive, which is all a decision-maker needs to dismiss the character.

I'm a long tome Cyborg fan but today, after seeing a group shot of cyborg with the rest in Zach's Justice League I think I see where people are coming from. They probably want to see clearly a Black Superhero standing tall beside Superman, Batman, WW etc.. Cyborg's cybernetics from head to toe obscurs his blackness and manhood. maybe long term comic fans just see Cyborg while others see someone that is less of a whole.
