    You didn't. It was Clairemont crawling deep up his own rear and nobody comes across well.

Diana doesn't even look like the typical butch lesbian athlete (not that such a character is remotely a bad thing). Having slight similarities to a stereotype does not make one a stereotype.




    Being progressive is not just about being challenging. It is about normalizing the idea of people who aren't the majority. Whether or not Diana being bisexual would cause controversy (and I've seen enough pushback to know that it likely will), it doesn't matter because it adds to representation.

    If you want Superman or Batman to be gay that badly, by all means argue for that. Don't use it to slam other representation people would want.
    I wish you'd stop making up stuff when you're backed into a corner. No anything can't be a stereotype, they're formed over a long period of time, not created out of thin air for a message board response.

    I'm not making anything up. The stereotype you claim a bisexual Diana represents isn't even one that exists.

    This is pretty much the only thing you've said since this conversation started that I can even remotely agree with. Unfortunately, it only further highlights the wrongness of your arguments.

    If Wonder Woman being bisexual were a stereotype (and it isn't), it would not receive half the support it did from LGBT fans.

    So it seems that the current team is not creating a great story so far. As the sales of the title are flopping harder than tamaki. And that run was truly bad. Can anybody explain what is going on? Has WW become so boring to explain the sales we are seeing?

    Maybe they just need to do an issue where Diana and Cheetah get into a contest on who can bench press the most planets. That will surely drive sales up.

    It would be something nobody has seen in a long time from WW at least. So who knows, maybe.

    Does Cheetah even have superstrength?

    Quality doesnt always equal sales unfortunately. The new creative team werent able to come in with WW in her status quo so its going to turn off readers. They have to rebuild that status quo but they are doing a great job at it.

    She does. In fact many writters always say she is strong enough to trade blows with WW. But sadly trackrecord with Cheetah is not the best since many writers throw her under the bus. Similar to WW these days.

    How can it be throwing her under the bus when she has no strengths feats? Many characters have thrown Diana around and traded blows with Diana. Heck, the biggest fight Diana ever had vs Cheetah was in #31 right? In issue 34 Shim'tar does things far more impressive and totally outclasses Cheetah.

    What many characters did the same to WW? And what were their powers? If they are humans like batman, catwoman, green arrow when they beat up Cheetah. That is just bad writing and it has no meaning at all.

    Good god, can you stop with the strength feats of Cheetah? If she can trade blows with Wonder Woman then she is superstrong.

    We can't help that Wonder Woman's rogues are an opportunity for the Batman writers to get one 'over' on her by trashing her villains.
