YEAH! Fucking progression! Lets stick to those classic heroes that were created in a time when white men ruled all and any deviation from that was a threat to the great RED WHITE AND BLUE! Unless you haven't noticed, we live in a very diverse world. It only makes sense that these characters, after so many years of being the same, begin to change to better represent that world and their readers.
While I somewhat agree, I want to play devils advocate, partly because I believe it.
But Western Society, is undergoing a self-blame culture.... while we cater to every race, gender and apologise time and time again for being white males, people take advantage of this, feminism has taken a herrendous route in the west... they are starting to take advantage of their situation and REVERSING it not Equalising it. No male pill? hypocritical assholes.
More over certain religions are trying to get their horrendous laws passed in the UK/US that goes against everything these countries stand for... I wouldn't be suprised if we eventually give in "because us white male have hurt enough people, lets keep bending over to be abused".
And while we deal with these challenges, while we bend over, over and over again. the eastern countries will not follow suit. we are the gullible smucks being domesticated and too afraid to be white males... that eventually the opposite will occur and the same mercy won't be shown.
Paranoa? meh.... you can't defend a white male in any situation now, any movements, any rights... we are not eligible for positive effects, just negative.
Point is, why do we have to destroy our image... to mix it up? why do we have to apologise and bend to others wills.
I dont care about the super hero thing that much. I liked the black green lantern...
But, if its such a problem, why don't woman and other race people just make their own heroes to go alongside the big "white" ones... why is it that the white ones have to friggin transform losing their original identity...
