DC Relaunching Everything? - Part 9

[Dangerman]

I thought this was kinda interesting: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/05...tablished-characters-sexual-orientation-soon/

It seems DC is going to switch the sexual orientation of an established character. I apologize if this has been posted already.

Who do you think it'll be?

My money is on Jimmy Olsen, Cyborg or Tim Drake.

 

[CConn]

Well, if they turn a straight character gay it's only fair that they change a gay character straight. Here's looking at you Batwoman.

 

[Mystirious]

You know me so well

 

[Primal Slayer]

Some people think it will be someone from Earth 2 which would be easier to do.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I could see them making the new Power Girl and Huntress into a gay couple. It's just so fanfic that Johns probably thinks it's his best idea ever.

 

[Dangerman]

Maybe it could be Hal and Barry finally making that big leap.

If DC ever changed any gay character straight I would boycott DC forever

Especially Batwoman

DC aren't bigots though so they would never do sonething like that

And that's all I have to say about it

 

[CConn]

Don't infer I'm a bigot, mysti.

That's offensive.

Well Jimmy is already a cross dresser

I'm already totally shipping them

I know me shipping a femslash couple

Shocking

Wait a min so it's ok for them to change a person who is straight gay out of the clear blu just to boost sales but it is wrong for them to change a gay person straight. I have to disagree with you there.

I wasn't CConn

I know you're not

Even though we dont always agree I like you and i woupdn't ever want to insult you like that

Neither is okay really

I think if their going to have a previously straight character start fancying the same gender they should make them bi instead

Agreed or they should show the process or something. Don't just have him or her all of a sudden in one panel start making out with someone.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

But that would ruin the shock value, which is apparently all DC cares about anymore. I'm very tired of DC and their cheap, ****** business practices.

 

[Mystirious]

It would make more sense and it would be neat to have some more bisexual characters

The only two i can think of are the blue Starman and Ice Maiden

I'm sorry but that award goes to Marvel.

 

[Alex Summers]

They should make Plastic Man pansexual.

Turning a previously straight character into a gay character is just as offensive. It's pandering and totally goes against what being a homosexual is.

 

[Mystirious]

It doesn't offend me personally but yep like i said I think it would be better if they made the character bi

Straight people don't just turn gay but I've known plenty who found out they were bi at some point in their lives

Having a character that was pretty firmly heterosexual in the past while showing absolutely no signs of homosexuality is offensive. It's as you say, people don't turn gay. It's just what you are and it's the way it should be treated in comics. It's pandering as well, instead of treating homosexuality as something that is well....natural, they're treating it as a gimmick. Which makes it even more insulting. And dare I say, it's insulting to the fans of the character chosen as well.

And then let's take into account that DC may be overhyping this and it turns out that it isn't a major character, but a character that no one cares about like Vibe. Which would make this thing even more insulting as well.

I don't see anything good coming out of this.

 

[flash13]

It sounds like it's someone they haven't introduced in the New 52 yet.

Wait whut

They're bringing Vibe back? The racist stereotype breakdancer guy? From the JLA?

What the what

 

[Shazam]

I am so sick of this stuff.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

He said they'd be the most popular gay character. So, more than Batwoman. Which means they'll be changing a character who will have been established possibly for decades as straight, and now suddenly they're gay?

Changing a characters sexuality suddenly is ridiculously stupid. Why not just use the new GL they're introducing?
