Minorities In Comics and Related Media

[Handsome men don't lose fights]

BAsed on American standards, Shades is white and Claire is black. Hispanic is not a race.

Huh. Makes you wonder why "Latina" is a category on pornhub. I shall meditate on this.

It's about to go down.
Good lookin' out fellas for not spoiling the balls ofa the show.

So I'm actually back to Netflix from like years ago when they mailed you DVD's. So you can't just skip to the last episode right?

OK nevamind. I'm brand new.

You can skip to any episode. When you click on the show a list of all the episodes pop up.

I got one more episode of Luke Cage to go. I am totally convinced that the guy who wrote that article for The Ringer must not have watched passed the first episode. The third act explicitly deals with the relationship between cops and communities of color. The gender issues in this show are subtle, but they're there too. As well as criticism of the privatization of prisons. There's no way anyone could watch this show and think it's about black conservatism.

Have fun riding the Netflix train again.

I thought the same

Thought i was missing something

I thonk that writer made it to the ep2 ending monologue and wrote his column

[MasterOfMagnetism]

Very nice. I am guessing from that quote the Ray is going to be a gay dude like in the cartoon series.

I do really hope that the Ray is going to be gay like in the new cartoon series. If the Justice League gets a gay team member before the Avengers do I'll finally swallow my pride and admit that DC is doing better with gay characters than Marvel. But in both cases a gay Justice League member and a gay Avenger are waaaaay overdue.

spoilers:

My gripe is that the show is playing fast & loose with the idea that The Man In Black has been raping The Host who's name I'm blanking on for some time to drive home he's a monster who revels in the demented shit the guest can get away with

end of spoilers

Yeah, that too. Hopefully this show doesn't make the kind of mistakes that Game of Thrones has and receive backlash. Also her name is Dolores.

re-watching Luke Cage again from the beginning.

I posted this in the politics thread but I imagine it's relevant to be posted here too.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.11216c298b57

In the class recorded for “Do Not Resist,” Grossman at one point*tells his students that the sex they have after they kill another human being*will be the best sex of their lives. The room chuckles.*But he’s clearly serious. “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex,” he says. “There’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it.”

The Avengers has had two gay members that I know of (though neither one was written as gay at the time of membership):Moondragon and Living Lightning.

Plus Wonder Woman is bisexual.

Moondragon is bisexual, she used telepathy to force Thor to be her lover once. Was Living Lightning ever a core member of the Avengers, or was he just a member of an off-shoot team like the Great Lakes Avengers?

I know there have been characters on major teams who were later written as gay or bi or are a part of an off-shoot team like the Young Avengers, but I don't think there's ever been a superhero on the main Justice League or Avengers teams that was written as anything other than straight while they were on the team.

Umm no. It's not like that at all. Hispanics here in CA are in no way shape or form considered Black or White. I'm pretty sure its like that elsewhere as well.

If Shades is White then I guess the likes of El Diablo and Robbie Reyes are too. Lol

It's called government census. I'm not making this up

I've already watched it twice. Now im just going through episodes and scenes.

He was on the West Coast Avengers. He's never been a member of GLA, but he was first revealed to be gay in their mini series. It is true that he's a minor character that spends most of his time in 'comic book limbo', though. I can't recall the last time I saw him in a book...
