How does this forward the storyline of the character? Explain to us how does this helps the character grow?

There's a lot of bile there for somebody that doesn't care. Not at all. I just see obvious and cheap tricks for what they are. Listen I am happy when I was younger I got to grow up first getting into comics back in the 1990's because since 2000-ish most comics are very forgettable and most of the overall creative talent has been bush-league at best besides a couple outliers. Taking an already established character to fit some forced narrative is a cheap bush league move. Todays creators lack the creative guts to create new characters, so since they lack talent they just pick a C-Level character out of a hat to rebrand. I look down on people like that. Have the guts to come up with something on your own. That's a good narrative! Also know your audience! Batman fans are a certain demographic mainly, so trust me this will get the character less interest than more. The Batman universe is about crime, action, and adventure not dating. If the creators want to push that narrative then start with making a new comic with new characters that is about that then you will see zero problems. Its makes more sense to turn Jughead gay than seeing Robin on a grinder date. Everyone here is for fair and equal representation, but when its feel forced and cheap you will always have backlash. take care Edited August 11, 2021 by NewWorldOrder Larryw7, grendelbo, Iconic1s and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also in my mind is insulting to LGBT community-"youre not important enough to create new characters so what we'll do is just shoehorn LGBT into some existing character".

No, I responded to the infinite possiblities of Kang's sexuality.

If so, it didn't come across that way to me at all. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
