People Complaining About Diversity In Comics

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

My good (real life) friend's latest video tackles the anti-diversity crowd who constantly bellyache about diversity in comic books. If so inclined, give him a watch, thanks -

I thought it was a decent watch. But your friend rambled on too often and it was hard to follow.

EDIT- I just never saw diverse characters as a problem. It's a new perspective or an opportunity.

What's wrong with her hair? I'm not a He-Man fan so I'm out of the loop

She got a haircut. A haircut. And it turned into a wokeness/ transphobic mess.

Over at the he-man.org forums it began about Teela’s hair and has since escalated to transphobic and homophobic bigotry. I’m probably leaving the boards if the mods don’t step in soon.

***edit

Mods stepped in and deleted and reprimanded, thankfully.

Teela's hair?

That's a hell of a thing..

The internet notices the strangest things....

Let me guess they saw a black woman and that was more than enough to set them off?

Or the women actually looked in shape? Gee they just dealt with a war-is it that hard to accept women being in shape on that planet?

That and another woman with a half-shaved head apparently lol.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass it on. I've told him to stay focused but he does have a touch of ADHD (in his defense) so it is a challenge for him.

Oh, yeah, my friend (the Youtube one) told me the Comic Gates crowd has been harping on Teela's new hairdo for about three weeks. I don't know if this is true as I tend to avoid their content. I guess these other trolls finally caught up.

That's it? Every other female character is drawn generically attractive according to Eurocentric standards yet one short haired woman sets them off. So why do they call everyone else easily offended?

Apparently, it is the "shaved on one side" short style they hate the most. From what I gathered it is a "coded man-hating feminist lesbian" hairstyle designed to brainwash kids according to Comics Gaters hahaha.

It sounds like the Captain Marvel thing all over again. women with short hair 'look like a man' or some such, yeah? Hilariously, (?) her haircut is pretty much my haircut, aside form colour. (mine is turquoise, so extra bad) Mine used to be quite a bit shorter, but i began cutting it myself because covid, and grew the top out, and shaved the sides/back because it was a cut i could do myself, and I like it. But some people have really weird ideas about women's hair.

Thou art a witch, the hair proves it, lol -

I mean if it meant i could get magic powers, i'd be fine with being a witch

Hahaha yeah, but historically "witches" as we know were normal people (mainly women) who got caught up in the hysteria of the times (like many "communists" in the 1950s & 1960s).

No worries.

Yup. and i certainly would have been one of the ones targeted. tho to be fair most modern women would. but... probably me more than most. The hair, unmarried, atheist, actually... I've bought stuff from the Satanic Temple, i have a pin and shirt from them that reads 'hail Satan' written on it, and listen to numerous bands that are all like 'yay, Satan!' (I don't believe Satan is real, mind you. It's more of a symbolic thing) so.... yeah I'd have burned.

As if ever every woman exists to cater to their desires. It's pathetic
