Still missing the point entirely. People don't mind diversity. They mind you taking existing characters and just changing them to be diverse. Come up with something new, damnit.

The quotes from the comic author they included in the article only reinforce this. The full quotes are "Launching a legacy character by killing off or humiliating the original character sets the legacy character up for failure. Who wants a legacy if the legacy is shitty?" and "Diversity as a form of performative guilt doesn’t work. Let’s scrap the word diversity entirely and replace it with authenticity and realism."

I came here with ctrl V ready to let loose lol. But you summed it up. They are blaming the "sexist/racist" because they will never admit their faults. People are sick of diversity FOR THE SAKE OF diversity. There have been many super heroes and no one cared if they were black, asian, woman, whatever. But when you tell me I'm a sexist so that's why you are forcing garbage down my throat, then you can go fuck yourself. Mix that with impossible to catch up with story lines. Old as fuck characters with nothing new. Millions of "multi verses" etc. I've been done with marvel. I read select DC stuff and indy now.
