So, who's going to be gay? https://www.comicbookmovie.

All of them

>>89004863
Aqualad. This is old news.

>>89004863
Aqualad.
Greg Weisman already said he's not straight and the comics version was made gay in New 52/Rebirth.
It's not surprising, wonder why it's even in the news.

>>89004898
>It's not surprising, wonder why it's even in the news.

I think the term is "virtue signalling"

>>89004882
>>89004898
As if Black Manta isn't disappointed in his son enough

>>89004882
>>89004898
Really? After how gay Bart was for Jaime, I thought it was all but official he was the gay one.

Aqualad and Impulse.

>>89004925
>"virtue signalling
What?

>>89004948
Read more comics anon.

>>89004965
That thing where you try to garner attention by saying you're doing some grand overture or gesture for the little guys.

Do you guys think it'll be any good? Everything Netflix brings back is usually fucking awful. I couldn't even be bothered to finish the new season of black mirror.

>>89005040
I think anon was referring to the news sites rather than Weisman himself.

>>89005018
No, Greg is just autistic and I don't mean that in a negative way.

>>89005040
I mean would networks really be so against LGBT characters in this day and age?

It's not the weird fetish you think it is.

>>89004863
Which Robin is that, Tim? He's the gayest one.

>>89005113

Key words being "this day and age".

Weisman has talked about wanting LGBT characters in his work since Gargoyles.

>>89005113
Foreign markets, anon. During one of the hiatuses we were getting new episodes from Malaysia, I think. Plus the show was originally produced six years ago.

>>89005113
More so afraid of those angry parents leading boycotts and demanding all toys be pulled to shield the kids to protect there purity

>>89005113
We're trying to sell toys here anon.

>>89005247
>six years ago
Holy shit really? I didn't even realize it was that long ago.

It'll probably just be miss martion trying the other side of the fence for awhile.

>>89005283

It would be hilarious if it was them.

>>89005018
So he is pulling a Marvel Comics

>>89005018
He didn't technically say there would be. He said that the regulations they had that didn't allow them to out those characters no longer apply, since these episodes won't go to Cartoon Network.

Basically, this is all clickbait that ballooned up. YJ always had clickbait surrounded to it.

>>89005267
>There will never be Apollo and Midnighter figures.
It hurts.

>>89005429

They could probably get collector figures, but I'd expect something like.... 1/6 in the 200+ range to make it clear they're not for kids.

>>89004898
>>89004882
>In love with Tula
>Nah, he's gay now

why is this allowed

>>89005500
When Miss Martian put his brain back together she put the sexuality in upside down.

>>89005500
Its not actually been confirmed he's gay you know, he could be bisexual or Weisman could have been joking about 'assuming he's straight'

In hindsight, Kaldur should've been obvious considering the last time Weisman wrote a black young adult.

>>89005199
It's Dick but Tim is the current Robin unless they pull another timeskip or force Damian into there somehow.

>>89004863
Bart. Aqualad had a thing for Tula so he could be bi

>>89004871
at the same time

>>89005113
Yuri on Ice recently proved that gays are actually worth money. Hollywood loves money. Netflix loves money and gays. So expect to see lots more gays in young justice

>>89006031
>Yuri on Ice recently proved that gays are actually worth money

> implying fujo shows are something new or rare

come on, anon.

>>89004863
Anon, it's 2017. Fuck a man already.

>>89006052
has anything mainstream every exploited them as a market though? Everyone in America was too afraid to piss of those crazy christians and figured the only people who would watch gays were other gays. They're a small minority. Then hollywood finds out straight women will literally pays tons of money to see gay cartoon characters in love

>>89005099
It's always negative. The word implies that you drink your own semen with Fanta on this site and in the real world that your either ignorant of the shit and an asshole about certain things or an asshole who is ignorant, but chooses to be an asshole of high functioning enough.

Season 3 was a mistake.

>>89006124

Pretty much every sports anime operates on the same principles, minus the canon gayness. 100% of the merchandise for things like Yowamushi Pedal, Free!, Haikyuu! and so on are made for women.

T&B had the main characters become a couple, and that show is even getting an american movie adaptation. Samurai Flamenco wasn't marketed as BL, and the leads also became a couple.

Some specific manga like Eroica with Love were popular enough to run for 30 YEARS without an anime adaptation, and only occasional merchandise.

100% BL shows/games don't try to get mainstream appeal because they don't have to - they're a fairly comfortable niche that thrives on very specific tropes, which I can't see the west imitating with success.

>>89006124
Christians lost ground and momentum has been against them for a while. Until you see Christians executed in the US in a major city by either a flamboyant gay man at a pride parade/ tranny or a Muslim in a church I wouldn't except society to back conservative opinions for a while. Or when some liberal brings up that Boko Haram kidnapped little boys and raped them, too.

Trump only won because people against him were smug assholes who want you to pay for some lesbians abused son to get a surgery or because Hilary was a shit candidate who only became the great blue hope after everyone realized that Trump was the only feasible Republican candidate.

>>89004863
Old News.

New News Soiderman and Deadpool where making out at the Golden Globes, while Deadpool's wife watched!

y'know i'd be almost okay with accepting some gay if, just once, we could see a straight couple making love. or fuck that, just showing the body parts involved in intercourse, just casually. just present. not in any massive, veiny detail or anything, just not covered. is that so goddamn much to ask?
we're not parading in the streets, we're not forcing shit down your kids' throats.. we just want to see the natural, untempered truth of the human body. and there's a hell of a lot more of us than there are against us.

>>89005428
well he fucking will now. god dammit.

I don't know why this is a big deal. It was already confirmed that aqualad was bi as fuck a few years ago. I guess today's tumblr and outrage culture didn't know that so we all have to freak out now.

>>89006451
>we could see a straight couple making love

Are you saying that kids media should show sex? Because there's plenty of this in cartoons for adults, comics and movies.

>>89004863
Audience

>>89006124
Glee was popular when I was in high school.

>>89006469
This whole event started because of the exact, opposite reaction. Because "DA GAIZ" was too much to handle for one dude and brought it up to Weisman on Twitter.

>>89006451
>if, just once, we could see a straight couple making love
hope you're a troll. if that's what you wanna see look up literally any other show or media ever. or porn.

>>89004948
Aqualad is confirmed bisexual.
Impulse is either gay or too young to have sexual urges, since he was the only boy they took along to fight Queen Bee.

>>89007124
why are we even having these threads though. Like when did co get so homophobic? If you are that triggered why are you even browsing 4chan? Hell this board used to frequently have so many gay otp threads that were slightly more popular than the straight ones.

>>89005858
Which was the one everyone shipped with the Kent kid? Jason?

>>89007855
>Like when did co get so homophobic?

When /tv/ and /pol/ decided to move in.

It will obviously be lesbians, they're not going to actually show gay males in the show, it will get cancelled in a minute.

Just like in my fanfictions and badly drawn porn!

>>89008019
It literally wasn't this bad in November though. co is basically hard to browse these days.

>>89004863
New character.

Remember, don't take away out fun, this is all we have left after they took away using Blacks and Asians.

>>89004932
Black Manta's a dick.
Long Live his fabulous son.

>>89008113
No because they said a gay character, not a lesbian character as the later will be pandering to NEETs.

Remember Korra's ending.

Elections happened.

>>89009934
The elections have really ruined the internet hasn't it? Like i am not even some random tumblrina or anything but holy shit I can't go anywhere these days without making things political. It gets so tiring.

>>89011001

Yeah I was really fucking hoping that after the election everyone would agree to cool it and not bring that shit up for a few months. I don't like that everyone still hates each other.

>>89011072
>I was really fucking hoping that after the election everyone would agree to cool it and not bring that shit up for a few months
Was this your first election?

>>89009229
>Remember Korra's ending.
I'd rather not. That was a twelve episode trainwreck.

>>89011001
>The elections have really ruined the internet hasn't it?
The Internet has been a partisan shithole for years already. If anything, Trump's victory has balanced it out a bit.

>>89004863
All of them, just as planned.

>>89011089
It was indeed many people's, which I think explains the extreme levels of acrimony and spite in the air in comparison to the past few elections.

It's Artemis, leading to a very awkward reunion with Kid Flash

>>89011089
I've been in the last two elections for obama and this one as well. So not my first. Obama's wins did have the internet go crazy as usual but honestly it wasn't as bad as Trump's victory here.

Maybe its because social media and other sites weren't as big as they were before? but yeah compared to the shitflinging across the boards and every corner of the internet we are seeing these days. The obama elections were pretty tame.

>>89011814
That would probably explain it a little. God I fucking hate the entitled generation born post 95 and post 9/11.

>>89011874
This is the first one of those were Democrats lost.
I remember 2004, there were a lot of tears and "not muh president."

>>89005500
Lotta people in denial try to be straight. Not like he ever fucked her.

>>89008113
Greg said there has already been a gay character on the show, they just had to code them. None of the girls had any indication of that.

>>89012068
To me this at least implies it going for a older demographic

>>89005500

Honestly Young Justice should have just stayed dead if this is the tradeoff we're getting. You don't need to inject identity or social politics into a show to make it good. You also don't need to make a spectacle of it in the media. This is some Marvel tier shit and I refuse to support it.

>>89012200
>You don't need to inject identity or social politics into a show to make it good

That according to Greg were already there. Also, there in the comics.

>You also don't need to make a spectacle of it in the media.

How is it a spectacle? They asked and he answered. If he refused to speak of the show at all, you'd be upset, too.

>>89012200
You know Greg Weisman has always had LGBT charactegrs in his shows, right? It's not about political agenda because 'current year', it's about his own views

>>89012200
go back to pol you fucktard. Greg had long confirmed when the show was airing that aqualad was bisexual. Yet there was no crazy spectacle made. No children became full gay. No pedophiles kidnapped boys to fuck them becaause of it. Relax. As long as its a good show, why should it matter?

>>89011899
Democrats really are thin skinned huh?

>>89012292
B-but anon, creators can't want such things! They're always pressured to do so!

>>89012200
Don't let obnoxious clickbait affect your enjoyment of a show itself. Greg's always leaned to the left (look at Gargoyles and all the race-bending in Spectacular Spider-Man) but he hasn't been condescending so far.

And Bunker? What about him. Apollo and midnighter

>>89012396

> Apollo and Midnighter

Never. Apollo isn't popular enough and Midnighter's presence would bump any show right into R territory.

>>89012396
They're probably not going to add so many new characters this season, season 2 had a bunch of non-developed characters because they didn't have any time to focus on them.

>>89012433
>Implying they aren't going to shove the Teen Titans in

>>89012433
They're introducing the Wonder Twins. Also, they'd need to introduce a few more characters if they're doing the Fourth World. Darkseid, Desaad, Godfrey, and the Forever People alone won't cut it.

>>89014025
That's literally everyone's fanfiction. I hope they never add Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg, just to spite them.

>>89012303
Don't try to pretend that some people weren't incredibly salty about Obama. Don't forget the birthers.

>>89004863
really make the black dude gay??? BAKA

Didn't Blaquad like Tula? Not to say he can't be gay now but just saying that would be kind of sudde

>>89015113
Nobody said he would be gay, Wiesman just said he might not be straight, it could mean he's bisexual

>>89012396
I want a show or movie with Dick and Midnighter shenanigans.

>>89015135
if you like dick ya ass is gay.
