http://www.newsarama.com/31251-is-wonder-woman-queer-obviously-yes-says-rucka.html

>Defined in the interview as "involving, although not necessarily exclusively, romantic and/or sexual interest toward persons of the same gender," Rucka told Comicosity definitively that Wonder Woman is queer - however, the people of Themiscyra don't define their sexuality with the heternormative terms of "man's world."

>"Yes. I think it’s more complicated though," explained Rucka. "This is inherently the problem with Diana: we’ve had a long history of people - for a variety of reasons, including sometimes pure titillation, which I think is the worst reason - say, 'Ooo. Look. It’s the Amazons. They’re gay!'"

>"And when you start to think about giving the concept of Themyscira its due, the answer is, 'How can they not all be in same sex relationships?' Right? It makes no logical sense otherwise," he continued. "But an Amazon doesn’t look at another Amazon and say, 'You’re gay.' They don’t. The concept doesn’t exist. Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As [artist] Nicola [Scott] and I approach it, the answer is obviously yes."
>>
>Rucka goes on to explain that it's important that Diana's first romantic relationship not be with Steve Trevor, otherwise her drive to leave Themyscira would be motivated by love rather than sacrifice, which he explains "takes away her heroism."

>"When we talk about agency of characters in 2016, Diana deciding to leave her home forever - which is what she believes she’s doing - if she does that because she’s fallen for a guy, I believe that diminishes her heroism. She doesn’t leave because of Steve. She leaves because she wants to see the world and somebody must go and do this thing. And she has resolved it must be her to make this sacrifice."

>However, Rucka also states that he has avoided having Wonder Woman state her sexuality outright because doing so doesn't serve the story. Rather, he takes a "show, don't tell" approach to explaining Wonder Woman's identity.

>"For my purposes, that’s bad writing," Rucka said of what he calls "the Northstar problem" - needing a character to state their sexuality outright for it to be considered valid. "That’s a character stating something that’s not impacting the story. I get nothing for my narrative out of that in almost any case. When a character is being asked point blank, if it’s germane to the story, then you get the answer. But for me, and I think for Nicola as well, for any story we tell - be it Black Magick, be it Wonder Woman, be it a Batman story - we want to show you these characters and their lives, and what they are doing."

>"By our standards where I am standing of 2016, Themyscira is a queer culture. I’m not hedging that. And anyone who wants to prevaricate on that is being silly," he continued. "I really don’t like the idea that there are people out there who might think DC is being mealy-mouthed about this. They’re not. No one wants to be taken out of context by ignorant people, but nobody at DC has ever said, 'She’s gotta be straight.' Nobody. Ever. They’ve never blinked at this."
>>
>"And when they’ve had questions about how we represent this, it’s always been about representing what the story needs. I think every publisher can be lit up for moments of negligence and mistakes they made, but it matters a great deal to me that DC be given their due here."

>Rucka summed his and DC's approach to Wonder Woman's sexuality by saying that they prefer to think of it as a simple fact, a non-issue.

>"They would, I think, like any business, prefer this not be an issue to anybody. But most of us human beings would also really rather this not be an issue for anybody anymore. It is what it is. This is how the Amazons live."

Why do people act like this is big news every couple of years? It's not even something new, they've been implying that Diana's had female lovers as far back as the late 80's.

Does it make them feel special? Like they just woke up one day and thought "Wait a minute! Themyscira's an all female island, I bet Diana's fucked tons of chicks!" and then pat themselves on the back for being so goddamn 'smart'?

Rucka has a boner for Perez run so probably just reincarnations of abused saintly women again.

Pre-flashpoint they were immortal so it wasn't really an issue.

I like his Year One, but his other series is taking decompression to an entirely new level. It's been like 4 issues and half an issue's worth of content has happened.
>>
>>86608526
Yeah it feels a bit muted. Even when stuff happens I feel like its not happening.
>>
>>86608526

The entire run reads like Rucka's gone full fanboy a la fanfiction.net and is suffering from a severe case of "not muh Diana, Imma fix her and it'll stick this time!"

There is no justification for being this decompressed and slow. There's barely any content.
>>
>>86608678
>not muh Diana, Imma fix her and it'll stick this time!

Yeah, because that shit worked real well before.

This is the cancer killing the industry. If you go back to the silver age, which was one of Wonder Womans best eras ever, you still had shit like O'Neil trying to make her a kung fu detective. But even though she was back with spandex and lassos when that ended they didn't pretend O'Neil's stuff never happened. They instead tried to own it and move past it like adults.

Perez's run didn't do anything other runs didn't elsewhere in the same era but since then it's been nothing but hack after hack putting their vision over what the character needs at that moment.
>>
>>86604877
Outraged about what? None of this is remotely controversial.
>>86607532
Decades ago.
>>
>>86608737
>you still had shit like O'Neil trying to make her a kung fu detective.

That shit was so good. No more Diana crying herself to sleep over Steve, she was kicking ass and doing shit that a liberated woman of her era did and didn't need superpowers. And then it only lasted a little while until DC got scared of a fabricated controversy and backpeddaled HARD to the old status quo in one of the most jarring examples of status quo restoration.
>>
So does the girl who popped Wondy's cherry have any cool powers or anything? Is she still alive? Did she meet her first man and turn straight or something? And how old were they when this went down? Please say like 11.
>>
>>86608737

But Greg Rucka is trying to make the George Perez' status quo.

Brian Azzarello's status quo was ruined by the Finches. Everything good in it was tainted.
>>
>>86608950

You know, I think I'm gonna go and read all of Finches' run.
Just to see exactly how bad they fucked up.
I mean, I've read some issues of it before and it seemed pretty bad... but I think it's time to leap into the fire.

Well, there you go. Random cooz is a more heartbreaking thing to leave behind than your own mother.

Rucka fetishizes lesbians. I don't have a problem with them, nor with Wonder Woman being bi, but he's really just trying to make his fetish cannon.
>>
>>86604732
Well that makes sense without any men your either homosexual or forced into wizardry the distinction on themescyria would be those who can be in relationships and those who cant.
>important that Diana's first romantic relationship not be with Steve Trevor, otherwise her drive to leave Themyscira would be motivated by love rather than sacrifice
Also makes sense
>That’s a character stating something that’s not impacting the story. I get nothing for my narrative out of that
Funny way of putting it but yeah dont interupt your story to clarify what somebody fucks (on a similar note i like how long they have held off on clarifying that simon baz only comes from a muslim family and is not religious himself they could have slipped it into his rage speech but they decided to go with what worked best.

I really wish rucka was not such an arsehole because he has some good ideas.

Also are there really people that still doubt she fucks chicks she made out with fucking zatanna for fucks sake.

They'll never catch up to Marvel.
There's three threads on /co/ today about Marvel's big lesbian breakup.
And my last count had it at eight transgendered characters (mostly X-Men types) in Marvel's history.
And everyone may think Batman's gay but DC can't ring that bell without the ugly Robin's boyshorts conversation.
That's just not going to advance any kind of tolerant or positive agenda.
>>
>>86606681
That's just a "strong female character" thing that always happens these days. If a man impacts her story in ANY way, much less to a positive gain, that progressive branch of the fandom flips their shit.
In fact we saw this back under Azzarello a couple years ago when he came out as "Diana was a natural birth. She has a father". Even though it came with a huge power boost, it was bad. This is the same thing.

Rucka is merely subscriing to the school of thought that says you can't be feminist (much less a feminist *icon*) if you admit anything good might potentially come out of male involvement. At this point that should not be a new idea or a surprise that he's espousing it. Downplaying Steve's effect on Diana's life is a logical consequence of that.
>>
>>86608678
That's every Wonder Woman run. That's why as soon as the writer changes you act like its the last chopper out of Saigon and get the fuck out.

does that mean that lesbianism was magically imbued into the amazons at the creation of their island

It will once we get Amazons Attack 2 and the rape entity from Brightest Day shows up.
>>
>>86611106
Way too many people here have gargled Rucka's balls over the years for this statement to make any measure of sense.
>>
>>86611206
B-but it doesn't make sense anon. People have already pointed that out.
>>
>>86604732
as it turns out in modern times we are finding out that ACTUALLY all of the superheroes are either gay, bi, queer, fag, fruitcake or just whatever

it really makes one think
>>
>>86611117
>They'll never catch up to Marvel.
Do they really need to?

Both of the companies have their share of forced diversity, but I think DC has more diversity characters that are better written, or at least not a cash grab.

Its a statment about homsexuality by a sjw yes but in this case he is mostly right.

Wonder Woman's conception was literally dripping with hints of bisexuality and based off a weird threeway relationship her creator had. Since then, she's been hinted at liking women along with men, but I guess this is just them making it "official"? What I don't get is Rucka here even mentions that Amazons wouldn't have a concept of "gay" or anything since they see sexuality differently, so why would this even be news. Wonder Woman wouldn't identify as anything and he plans on making her true love Steve Trevor anyway... he could have just had her drop a hint about her first kiss or first innocent love being with another Amazonian woman or a human girl while they're in bed and talking about exes together. Don't see the point in taking on some exclusive interview about it. You can't say something isn't a big deal and then go on to make a big statement of it, just say "she likes men and women, end of story."

>"But an Amazon doesn’t look at another Amazon and say, 'You’re gay.'

Well, Muslim men don't rape women then. Sharia states women are subservient to men, they are not people, therefore violently inserting penis into a slut's vagina is not a rape if you view it through a lens of a Muslim man.

We should all strive to be more like Islam, guys!
>>
>>86611557
The ridiculous thing is that it takes the foreground on a metal level, even when it doesn't on the story.

Right now, wondy's story (like always) doesn't focus that much on her sexuality. I wouldn't want a story that focused on her sexuality that much, but if we had one, I'd understand interviewers focusing on it.

But we don't. Why do they focus on it? It's irrelevant.

The Supreme Court forcing all states to accept homosexual marriage is still pretty fresh. LGBT lobby is going to milk their victimhood as long as it'll go before moving on to a new group.

Except for polygamist though, since they're typically conservative and the LGBT are a bunch of hypocrite liberals who only want their pet consenting partners to have government benefits.

Fuck sake, Mormons have had way more violent persecution by the US than fags. They even were forcibly told to change their religious beliefs by the government even after moving all the way to fucking Utah.

>>
>>86611680
Despite everyone freaking out every time a character is made bisexual or "kweer" because of muh diversity, the great majority of hundreds of DC and Marvel girls are still straight and have never been with a woman or attracted to women. That includes big warrior women like Big Barda or Hawkgirl to feminine women like Starfire.
>>
>>86611711
The audience didn't force anyone to be gay, Wonder Woman since the beginning was based off of a sexual deviant dude's fantasy and since then has had hints of liking women along with men. Majority of women in all of every action franchise end up straight so there is no "straight women should be mothers only lesbians can be warriors" stereotype. Star Wars, Star Trek, Lois Lane, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, most recognizable leading women and action women or women associated with action franchise are heterosexual and still not only mothers.

You know, I'm okay with Diana having intimate relationships with women. It does make sense, not just because of her living on an island solely populated by women, but her general nature. If there's anyone who could fall in love based on someone's character alone, regardless of gender, it'd be her.

However, downplaying Steve Trevor's involvement in her decision to leave Themyscira is as ridiculous as downplaying Superman's relationship with Lois Lane. No, it shouldn't be her sole reason for venturing out into the world, but it should be a factor.

I know little of Wonder Woman and why she does what she does is always kinda vague to me. Your greentext makes sense though.

If the story is "boy crashes on island of girls, and the girl who finds him leaves with him because of the funny feelings he gives her" that is pretty rubbish and not very heroic. It's just a silly girl making a bad decision and then trying to salvage it.

Leaving the island for noble purpose, then finding some guy, makes her more heroic, absolutely.

>>
>>86607532

When people who will ultimately find themselves in a heterosexual relationship wanted to get in on that sweet oppression self-labeling.

It's kind of interesting that this is the argument we're having now, when Wonder Woman exists because Marsden was a sub who thought loving femdom was the cure for all the worlds problems. If we're going to get all political, let's go all the way back to the beginning. Have Wonder Woman be an unrepentant monarchist who feels that there are superior people, they have a duty to care for the weaker, the weaker have a duty to obey, and physical restraint is the best way of making this dynamic explicit.
>>
>>86613369

desu if I didn't know women were a thing and only ever saw/interacted with men I'd probably end up going gay too if only because it's the only thing I know.

Of course, the moment I saw an actual woman, I like to think I'd realise that I was mostly banging feminine guys and that's what I really wanted.

I don't know, It could more easily be an allegory for a Republic system in which you submit to a figure you trust for a period of time. She often fights against tyrants who forcibly imprison people, tying her or other people up. The kind of bondage the Amazons practice is "loving submission", another way of saying that being "consent of the governed". That and the fact that she wears a costume based on the US flag.

>>
>>86613570
>desu if I didn't know women were a thing and only ever saw/interacted with men

that may apply to Diana

But Rucka seems to forget the Amazons lived on the outside world and even had heterossexual relationships, including the time Hercules fucked them up. They know men, they have been involved with men, and they sure know their sexuality.

Perez managed this way better in the 80s. Some Amazons were lesbians. Some "occupied themselves with other things". Sure as hell there were heterossexual Amazons who simply touched themselves and also assexual Amazons.

"All Amazons must be in a same-sex relationship", as Rucka puts it, is idiotic.

Thousands of years ago.
>>
>>86613888
They lived long enough on the outside world to know their sexuality, and there's no reason that ALL of them must turn into lesbians, specially because the only bonus would be emotional, since lesbian sex is basically mutual masturbation.

Every sexual relationship in the Island would be same-sex, of course, but there would be a lot of Amazons not looking for a sexual relationship.
>>
>>86613953
Also, they would still know what is heterossexual and homossexual relationship, unlike what Rucka says about the concept of being gay not existing for them.

He also doesn't distinguish between sexual relationship and afetuous relationship. If some Amazons "turn" gay because of sexual needs, it doesn't mean they change their sexual orientation, only their sexual behavior. It's like prison homossexuality that is always mentioned in these threads. Most of the guys who "turn gay" and have gay sex don't exactly start being attracted to men or seek homossexual relationships. Just buttsex in prison because it's the only sex they can get.

Sgt. Alvez, from Rucka's Punisher run.

I feel like if you're gonna do a story where you replace a long-stnading character's gender, the story of her development was probably a good instance of it. She's trained under Frank for quite some time, and we're given the excuse of "Frank's in prison for a real long time" to give way for her to take up the mantle.

Shame Rucka's a moron, though.

Correct. Social constructions of gender really only refer to normie meme arrows.
>dolls are for girls, guns are for boys
People going around inventing new sexes and claiming it's not a disorder are doing their own special snowflake performance art. I think Rucka is just saying the islanders like to have relationships and sex but have limited options, so they're functionally queer. It's such a nothing issue.

I think a lot more of gender roles are biologically determined than people admit. Boys play with guns because they have more aggression for hormonal reasons, not cause GI Joe brainwashed them. Even parents who raise their kids 'gender neutral' and with no access to pop culture find girls gravitate to pink and boys to blue. Maybe it has something to do with pussies being pink so women have used pink to attract mates for thousands of years so they gravitate towards it in clothing. And maybe boys like blue because their natural ambition and desire for exploration makes them want to conquer the seas and skies. There was a famous case of a boy who lost his penis due to a botched circumcision so they raised him as a girl, figuring gender was a social construct. And he naturally gravitated towards stereotypical male things anyway. Gender is not a social construct. It is mostly biologically determined. There are only two genders regardless of what Mark Zuckerberg tells you.

>>
>>86604732

What I find more interesting about Diana's playing field of Amazon partners is that, depending on the origin being used, she was raised by all these women with them as basically her adopted aunts. They raised and cared for Diana as a baby, a child, a young women. Then they started sleeping with her when she hit puberty.

Do you think any of these women while tongueing Diana's fartbox ever stop and say "wasn't that long ago that I was diapering this fine ass"?

maybe its magic purple ray tech science parthenogenisis. maybe amazons with dicks have sex with amazons with uteruses.

are they born with dicks? do they make them with purple rays? do they pray and get magic dicks from artemis/aphrodite? robot magic dicks from hephastus? does it matter, really?

for that matter, since they were sequestered of for so long and altered by the gods for superpowers anyway, why would they even need normal human genitals, or methods of reproduction.

doesnt really affect their stories much, unless a villain wants to steal the magic dicks/purple ray parthenogenesis machine for a plot point. i could see circe doing that, or joker.

But that's the problem here, Rucka does not want the idea of love being a motivation for Wonder Woman wanting to leave Themyscirya.

Which is baffling to me because Superman wanting to save Lois is in part his motivation for Saving Metropolis along with wanting to do good in the world. He has both of those, why can't Wonder Woman have the same?
>>
>>86624016
Because Wonder Woman has the least stable "what is this character" among main DC heroes other than Hawkman. Superman is the guy that wants to help everyone and holds strong morals, Batman is the smart hard working guy that fights out of a sense of vengeance and responsibility but ultimately holds himself to similar standards, each Flash and Green Lantern is consistent to themselves, Martian Manhunter is the stoic guy that loses a lot of fights, etc. While they waver around, those tend to be at least the basis of characterization. Wonder Woman in comparison has jumping around in what motivates her.

Well, if any of the amazons where pregnant when they went to the island, it's not unreasonable to think that some of them may have been assigned male at birth in a traditional society, but since everyone on the island is female/identifies as female, those "male children" would have just been raised as women.

So then you have amazons with dicks.....and they have magic on the island, so lets just assume that via magic, these amazons with male genitalia

I know you contrarians love to hate him, but seriously no one ever read his Wonder Woman Earth 1?

He pretty much dealt with all the sexual and gender shit like it was merely world-building. Of course Diana was into girls, we're talking about a society, and societies can't exist without a sexual component to them. She's also into men because, like it or not, sexual preferences are not necessarily stable. 4chan is plagued with guys who likes traps, these kinda thing happens.

Also, the guy who created Wonder Woman intended her to be bisexual. He was a psychiatrist who shared a lover with his wife and was into bondage and shit.

I truly don't understand why should this even be a matter of controversy. Any other way of writing the character would be stupid.

Rucka is a faggot who wishes he was a hot lesbian instead of a fatass dude.

Every comic he writes is wish fulfillment for his fetish. In each issue of Wonder Woman, Rucka is Wonderwoman, he's imagining scissoring with those women, his mounds of flubber wrapping around them.

He's a disgusting faggot.
>>
>>86604773
>>"For my purposes, that’s bad writing," Rucka said of what he calls "the Northstar problem" - needing a character to state their sexuality outright for it to be considered valid. "That’s a character stating something that’s not impacting the story. I get nothing for my narrative out of that in almost any case. When a character is being asked point blank, if it’s germane to the story, then you get the answer. But for me, and I think for Nicola as well, for any story we tell - be it Black Magick, be it Wonder Woman, be it a Batman story - we want to show you these characters and their lives, and what they are doing."

I kinda thought the point of Wonder Woman was simple; live on an island being told the evils of man's world, suddenly a man arrives, she finds him curious and wants to venture fourth into his world and explore, develops a love for man's world and its inhabitants, her heroism and love being tools to help guide man's world into a better place.

But WHY?
I don't see a reason for her to be a lesbian. If anything this implies she's more prison gay than actually gay. Besides I found the original story far more heroic and makes sense. She's more accepting of outside ideas than her peers. And sees the good in her fellow man. And is willing to put her life on the line to learn about the world of man and improve it for a brighter tomorrow. Falling in love with a man only strengthens that ideal not damage it.

At least that's my interpretation of her reasoning for leaving her home into a strange unknown and possibly barbaric world of man.

Diana grew up with women. She has a sexuality. Sexuality works different on Paradise Island. She's fucked girls. Now she's discovering guys and has no concept of "straight" or "gay" but she wants to fuck Steve Trevor too and men are a novelty to her. This is basically her story from the get go.

I don't see what the big triggering over here is about. Diana has pretty much been hinted to always have been bisexual due to her upbringings and it's not a big deal or something she cares about.

Why does anyone mind when it's obvious that Greg Rucka's obsessively been OTP-ing Steve Trevor/Diana for over a decade now? Her bisexuality isn't getting in the way of the fact that they're obviously meant to be together and he's the one that changes her life.

And yes, he is still a cisgendered, heterosexual white male red-blooded US vet. So overall, I'm cool with it.

That's mythological Amazons, not DC's Amazons. They have no man at all in DC's version

In (most of the versions of) the mythological tale, Hercules fights Hyppolita, defeats her and than takes her girdle. In DC's tale, Hyppolita defeats Hercules, who than tricks them and rapes them all with his men, to later being damned by the gods for millennia because of it while, this way, making Captain Marvel being powered by literally rapist strength
>>
>>86634646
That isn't true though.

tons of different stories has the DC Amazons have men.

Since the underlying theme of Wonder Woman was Femdom, I like the idea of Amazonian men.

It adds more dynamic that the piss poor dykeland it sort of represents.

Also DC's Hercules is trash

Because it makes Wonder Woman from a Femdom personality to a Queer Personality.

As much as people think, Women don't actually all turn gay if you leave them around alone.

In fact the reverse happens, they start competing for all the men around harder.

It just reeks of pandering to trannies and other queer rejects instead of keeping Wonder Woman true to her designs.
>>
>>86634674
As far as I remember, post-crisis Amazons were female only, having left the human world after the whole Hercules thing
And pre-crisis wasn't there a plot point saying that no man could stand on Temyschira, otherwise something really bad would happen? I remember a letter addressing an Amazonian male in the first Teen Titans (the original, not the new) issue, and the author admitting they fucked that up

It still acts like a very piss poor idea. But then again, this is coming from a climate where everything to do with feminism and women is somehow tied to the LGBTBBQBYOBB crowd.

It's like, have people ever thought of a group of Warrior women who perhaps don't munch carpet?
>>
>>86634715
This is entrenched in her history though. And she's not turning gay, Rucka is saying she's just definitely been with women before. Marston and his wife regularly fucked a girl together and he wanked off on watching his wife get dominated by their third partner as well as getting dominated himself. Bisexuality was always in the DNA of the entire perverted creation, sorry.

BDSM, Femdom, and "Queer"ness are kind of inextricably tied together in the inception of their scenes in the US, especially during Marston's time and the time Wonder Woman was created (also on the tail end of Psychopathia Sexualis and other works that documented BDSM and bisexuality under the same breath). It doesn't change her personality to anything. If it slightly ruins your jerkoff material I don't really give a shit.
>>
>>86634802
I don't care about Marston's sexual life.

Wonder Woman displayed no real Queer ideas, Just because Marston's sexual life did doesn't mean everything was reflected in Wonder Woman.

The idea that Femdom needs to be a little Queer shows just how stupid you tumblr dykes are.
>>
>>86634722
Queer is an umbrella term, somewhat reclaimed from the slur that used to be thrown specifically at gay men and trannies. But it is mostly not used like, ever, anymore, to denote exclusive gayness.

So gay people usually don't call themselves that. It's more of a catch all for people who do screw around with the same gender but not exclusively and want to feel too special for the word bisexual. Pansexual became too passe.

>>86634750
A situation of being raised with nothing but the same gender and never being exposed to the opposite gender is a lot different than going to prison or an all-girl's school. It's completely different. The Amazonian concept of sexuality has 0 influence from our society or standards, while women in prison and women in private colleges still grow up in the same world we do.

No one is saying the Amazons are exclusive lesbos, they literally are just rarely exposed to men so some probably fuck around with each other instead and it's normal. I went to BM and it was pretty normal to know girls were hooking up with each other but weren't necessarily gay at all.

If a bunch of men came on Paradise Island I'm sure plenty of the Amazons would hop on their dicks and no one's really denying that.

Cool it retardo, you're talking about Wonder Woman's "creation" constantly then discard things her creator flat out went on record saying influenced him in making her and her obsession with loving submission.

She's not being made into some "queer" character, she's literally still "muh otp" in a very heterosexual romance that Rucka is writing out with her, most writers that matter see her as soulmates with Steve Trevor, and her major subplot exploring her romantic feelings and sexuality will be through him. That's not some big change.

You're just autistic and angry over this and think tumblr invented women experimenting with women and men experimenting with men I guess so no real point in talking to you. Anyway, good luck with life little retardo, I hope you get a good nap in later.

How retarded can you be? It makes perfect sense, kinda like guys fucking in prison because there are no women around.

Wonder Woman was created by its original author and his wife, the character was pretty much their bedroom fantasy in a superhero form. So she was a BDSM-addict from the start, living in an island filled with women. Kinky lesbian shit is almost mandatory at that point. Of course the modern SJWs try their hardest to pretend the BDSM-aspect away from her character.

The trick is that Marston always expected men to be kept in the loop.

You're missing a key element, it's used in the other direction also: Marvel's Hercules (the Avenger) was rectonned straight as an arrow, and honestly what's more gay than the Greek that invented oiled-up nude wrestling?
That was a huge slap in the face of LGBT fans, and now that the X-Men's Iceman has come out as gay there's a freakin' campaign on the X-threads of trolls demanding he be immediately retconned as bi, as if that wasn't an obvious rollback effort.
And these things historically aren't going in both directions: the Comic's Code Authority censored anything gay in comics for decades, most gay characters were *wink-wink* gay because of that and now there's a hypocritical complaint that characters are coming out of the closet.
As if there was ever any choice but to hide WonderWoman's "Lesbos" roots?

>"Bi" is just a way of making a character full gay without explicitly saying so.
You're obviously not actually reading the current run then.
>in past story she wants Steve's dick
>in present story she wants Steve's dick
Yup, totally 100% a lesbo now.

What kind of self-respecting white person still reads comics from DC and Marvel? You whites think you are above identity politics and race? Because you aren't.

Yeah, the thing that this bullshit argument always intentionally ignores is the reality that there are other motivations to pursue a hetero-normal relationship beyond actual physical *lustful* attraction.
Way to think inside the smallest box you can find fella.

I'm still mad at Jimenez for the dumb shit, and that's way before all this cuckposting.

That dude came out of fucking nowhere, and Diana was all over him for some odd reason. Then Jimenez straight up says he's just trying to write a fanfic where Diana loses the V-card. Shit was like reading through a fucking cinemax "movie" and my dumb ass went down to my comic shop at the time and bought it like the dumb fucking asshole I was.

Didn't queer use to mean strange or odd?

Jimenez run was basically what Rucka is doing now: fanfic to "fix everything" and "make the definitive run"

Which is funny because Rucka destroyed what Jimenez did back then, quite literally with Hera flipping "New Themyscira"

NU52 WW needed fixing, though.

DC needs fucking fixing, someone needs to take the editor out back and shoot him.

Before the 50s, yes. I read alot of Lovecraft and Orwell, and "queer" shows up a lot to mean exactly that.

Probably about the same time "colored" and "people of color" became the vogue to refer to any non-white, whether they like it or not.

Because, apparently, the best way to fight discrimination is by resurrecting outdated, racists terms to divide people into categories even further.

It's almost like they need a rebirth innit?

Actually "people of color" is the acceptable term, whereas "colored" is deemed offensive. Benedict Cumberbatch had to apologize last year for using the latter expression.

It's one of the dumbest things about current year logic I've ever seen.

/co/ needs fixing. So many tumblrcunts eating this shit up. Meanwhile shits unreadable for long term fans.

He never said she didn't like dick, just that she would also find women attractive and sexually appealing.

On a purely linguistic level, one phrasing implies artificiality while the other is purely descriptive, then there's the fact that generally the more offensive term is used exclusively for one race while the other is a general term for a broad range of minorities, also that offensive term was popularized in an era of open distain and contempt for that race and the cultural connection has been made by way of it's typical usage to now link that phrasing in people's perception to past racial hostility.

It's like Pepe the Frog, that meme didn't start out as a racist symbol, there's still often no intention of racist intent in it's use, but the NeoNazis have forever linked their cause to that symbol by popularizing the connection in the public mind.
So now whenever you post that stupid frog image you're propagating a message of racism, regardless of your intent.
The same thing happened with the swastika, which existed before the Nazis but is now always going to be connected to them and their hateful cause.

I don't think they needed Rebirth to begin with.
