What?

Midnighter, when well written, isn't representing anything other than his character. He just so happens to like fleshsnakes.

How is having positive representation pandering?

Real life gay people hate characters like Midnighter.
That's why they read Marvel instead.

I don't know what Dark Horse was thinking with Captain Faggot, He was a pretty cool Idea for the times but it's not 2005 anymore and people are going to get offended by Captain Faggot's popular phrase 'Fruity Dooty Dick in Booty'

He's never written well though.

Most gay people I know like Midnighter. They like him for who he is not because he's gay.
>>
>>94797960
Yeah, Captain Faggot's whole arc where he fought against the manifestation of AIDS was really odd. And all the puns about dick sucking starts getting tiresome especially when the writers start to bring out the bad ones like: 'You might bring a lasso to a fist fight Assless Cowboy but I bring lips to a beer bong.'

how is he negative representation

cause he's not shouting from the havens he's gay 24/7 and prefers to get shit done
>>
>>94797818
When writing a gay character, the writer is responsible for making sure they set a good example for positive representation.

If a character fails that, you've officially failed as a writer.

Midnighter is one of the most important gay characters in comics. He and Apollo are the first gay married couple in comics. He's one of the first gay superheroes in comics. He's more of a anti-hero than a hero. He's not a psychopath or a sociopath. He's sane. He's a good fighter. He's a really strong powerful character who happens to be gay.

Yeah, shame on the writers for not making him a rainbow colored flaming hero who throws confetti and constantly talks (with a lisp) about how gay and oppressed he is. Who is only allowed to fight villains who constantly talk about how much they hate gay people. How dare they actually make him an interesting character that happens to be gay.

I don't think your conception of positive representation actually helps gay people. On the contrary, I think that in media directed at adults, it hinders attempts for inequality because it holds up an ideal that can't be matched.

Sure, have positive representation in stuff directed at younger people. Adult entertainment needs to be more complex than that.

Also
>Oh but it's okay to stereotype straight people this way?
The opposite of my point. I'm saying that adult-oriented entertainment should have complex characters no matter the sexual orientation. If LGBT characters are represented as having a fundamentally different character to straight characters, surely that suggests that there is a fundamental divide between being straight and being LGBT, beyond sexual orientation?
>>
>>94799687
Because that defeats the whole point of writing.

Comics have been making changes to society since WWII, before America decided to follow in Germany's footsteps.

>>94798193
>He gives people the wrong impression about gays
Pray tell, what's the 'right' impression?
>>
>>94799856
I thought the point of writing was to organize information and to transcribe stories.

Are you saying the pulp writers in the 20s onward who were cranking out stories to put a roof over their heads and food in their mouths were defeating the point of writing?
>>
>>94799849
You, as a straight person, wouldn't understand why LGBT groups need this.

So you really can't speak on our behalf about representation and how to write gay characters.

>Are you saying the pulp writers in the 20s onward who were cranking out stories to put a roof over their heads and food in their mouths were defeating the point of writing?
These writers have since lost to time and have been forgotten and will probably never be seen as real authors.

And E. E. 'Doc' Smith's work on the Lensmen is one of the earliest examples of Space Opera and is still read and enjoyed today, there's even frequent debate as to what degree the Hal Jordan era of 'Green Lantern' was inspired by it.

>How do you respond to concerns from some readers who feel Midnighter isn’t a good representation of gay men?

>I think it’s ultimately more progressive, because this is a book that is engaged with him being gay but isn’t about him being gay. I think we’ve moved past the idea that gay people have to be portrayed in only one way. By pulling away from that, we can have characters who can do other things and people can realize they’re not a spokesperson for the entire community. It’s a loaded conversation, because the reality is I would love to say that every queer person is a wonderful person, but we’re just people. Gay people do great things, and gay people also do bad things. That’s life. It doesn’t do a service to the community, nor does it do a service to a story to act like that’s anything but the way it is.

Of course, this might have gotten him called some kind of gay equivalent of an "Uncle Tom" or something.

Midnighter and Apollo was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book in 2017, as was Midnighter's solo series.

And before a universe merger, they were originally Wildstorm (Yes, still a DC imprint, but it's own setting and Universe for a time) which, to my understanding, was frequently shown to be a bit... grittier and more cynical than the mainstream DCU.

How? Almost everyone on both sides besides the orange troll doll himself condemned what happened in Charlottesville. It significantly hurt the credibility of the alt-right movement and Republicans want to distance themselves from it.

You're an idiot. He condemned the violence in Charlottesville. He just didn't turn a blind eye to the supposed "good guys" beating people with baseball bats and bike locks.

He called out ALL the fucknuts not just the fucknuts you hate the most. Pay the fuck attention.

It never was a movement. It was an attempt to lump Trump republicans with hate group cocksuckers like the KKK and "American" Nazis. And it worked like a charm with the goobers who don't know any better.

I don't like Trump at all, but iirc he denounced both sides of the violence at Charlottesville.
It was enough for him to lay off the guy who told him to appeal to the Alt-Right in the first place.
The whole thing was pitched as a white nationalist thing, but sugarcoated as a Conservative movement, it was bad enough that people like Gavin McInnes wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
I don't think Trump is racist at all, I think he's poorly-informed and easily swayed, which is more dangerous for everyone involved.

He condemned the violence generally but the initiators in the specific case of Charlottesville were the ethno-fascists.

President Trump criticized Obama and Clinton for not being specific when mentioning threats; 'And she won’t even mention the word and nor will President Obama. He won’t use the term “radical Islamic terrorism.” Now, to solve a problem, you have to be able to state what the problem is or at least say the name.' He was right there about Islamist terrorism, he was willing to call antifa groups out by name. Why did he not hold the same standards to ethno-fascist groups?

Honest question.

How important is it that Midnighter is gay?

I can't even think of a good movie or show where people say the words "gay" or "straight"

IF they do, it's so inconsequential, a completely throw-away line often spoken by a minor secondary character.

Gender and sexuality aren't good plot points most of the time.

Specially if you're not autistic and aren't into these stupid "movements" that plague today's society.

They read Marvel because of diversity meme. DC has as much, if not more (counting Milestone characters) 'diverse' characters than Marvel, they are just terrible at marketing them to the fringe comic-buying public (as in, people who buy comic occasionally).

I mean, fuck, DC made an entire comic about SJW anarchists fighting cops called The Movement, which flopped because they didn't advertise it to people who would buy it.

Yeah, but why does it matter?

I love Judas Priest, and I thought Rob Halford was a one of the manliest fucker around.

When I found out he was gay years ago, I still thought he was the manliest fucker in town.

Gay didn't factor into anything.

All that mattered was what he did.

So, is Midnighter = Rob Halford

Or is he just gonna try to brainwash me into thinking gay people is where its at, and that I'm a fucking cunt.

Midnighter is fucking rad, shut the fuck up.
>>
>>94798230
He's not a normal person, he's a killing machine. I think he has two hearts also.
You're kind of retarded.

How the shit is that not cool?

Can someone fill me in on this one? What is this comic and what's wrong with it?

Reminds me of the time some bitch ragged on how there is barely any black superheroes in comics. I showed her a list of -all- black superheroes, some of which are very popular. There were literally hundreds of them and the cunt went from "there are barely any black superheroes" to "but that is nowhere near enough black superheroes"!

It's not about representation, it's about moving goalposts and perpetuating the "marginalized oppressed victim" mentality.

>>94806495

It doesn't, really. Sorry for asking but can you tell me more?

I'm a fag and I fucking love Middy because he fucking breaks the gay stereotype.

>>94797907
>real life gay people

You mean annoying oversensitive teenage white girls, right? Cause this board's full of homos (including myself) and nearly everyone here loves him. Eh fuck it, whatever this is probably bait anyways.

>>94806511
To be fair the darkies aren't the ones I see play the victim card hardest, faggot.

>>94807259
He is a pretty great character, even in absolute shit runs Midnighter himself tends to be sympathetic. Mostly.

How do we fix Apollo?

The guy has the personality of cardboard and writers seem as if they're worried about making him too Superman-ish despite Midnighter becoming a lot more than just Gay Batman over the years.

So from what I understand after looking up, she is a feminist comic book artist who works on a superhero comic book...which has nothing to do with superheroes and instead serves as her soapbox. Am I correct?
>>
>>94807351
Well, he exists to be the Lois Lane to Midnighter
>>
>>94807351
Apollo is literally just sun-kissed Lois Lane.
