    Just because you regocnise anti-blackness in the comic-industry does not mean it will simply fade away in that particular instant. And what did I make up fam?? You're literally telling me that marvel only having main white characters is pure coincidence??? It was quite literally aimed at a white audience until Stan and jack said "f*** the insecure white people who would for some reason turn away a comic simply because there's people with a different skin colour in it". TO say that the issue is completely resolved only shows ignorance in your part.

    I wasn't hypothesising...not really.

    I'm specifically referring to the moral dilemma of if it's wrong (to race-bend)...can it ever be right and acceptable to do so?
    Regardless...
    You've clearly answered the question and personal stance on the matter so...yes. Our (yours and mine) conversation is at an end.

    An artist only drawing white characters isn't anti-blackness. And yes, most comic book readers in the 50s and 60s were white boys because that's how USA was in the 50s and 60s.

I find it hard to believe in 75 year history marvel could only find a handful of black writers and artists. And why are they always put on the same already black franchises if we trying to diversify. They really need to stop trying to catch people in that catch 22 everybody sees.
    Exactly. the fact that then people literal dismiss something quite visible becomes frustrating.

    If you want to see some characters propped up, there is no better way right now than to have the MCU use them.

    That will be the movies' job, to prop them up as you say, if they want to. They don't need to be big players in the comics, but the movies can turn them into ones.

    But isn't that what you are doing? Dismissing Jean's visible Whiteness?
    Just an example, reverse racism is still racism. Which is wrong...that's not debatable.

    Race bending white characters onscreen does the complete opposite of propping up black leads.

    Ditto. The X-franchise does have alot of great minority characters and its the books fault for not doing more with them. Using them in the MCU will definitely increase their profile and push them to more people than the comics (which is a media thats on the decline) ever can

    Truly a genius of your ahead of your time

    IF THE COMICS THEMSELVES WERE AIMED AT WHITE BOYS THEN OFC YOUR AUDIENCE IS GOING TO BE WHITE BOYS.

    Yes how the USA was in the 50's and 60's... anti-black. rampant white supremacy.

    Yikes what?????????? I'm legit baffed at this throwing of words you don't actually understand...
    You're literally saying "well she's white... and i can see her... so that must be what visibility means"
    visibility is not a term applied to white people because white people have never been completely ignored and pushed aside in media, they've always been the majority.

    Omds I keep reading this comment and everytime I think of calling you an idiot... But let's not do that. How is me saying that jean's whiteness has literally never been part of her character "reverse racism"?? even though this doesnt even exist...

    Pretty much. I just don't think you can racebend a fictional character. When it is a non fiction character it's wrong. It just so happens that based on society i am on the side of this argument where it would be a bigger deal if they race bend fictional black characters after ignoring fictional black characters and racebending actual historical figures for decades. You on the other hand tried to equate a real life moral dilemma of oppressing actual people with the changing of fictional characters paint job. I was hoping you were hypothesizing i guess.

    Like how can you racebend an idea. LMAO

    ??yh... Because it isnt. There's racism. Racism againsnt white people might exist, but in this world, its quite unlikely, most of it is minor prejudice. like "white people can't jump". It literally affects white people in no way.
