Not quite what I was saying. My point was, if these readers are such women-haters, they wouldn't object to Diana Prince becoming Dave. But I'm sure they would object. Many comic fans like continuity of character. I enjoyed when Superman left leaving Mon-El/Valor to take over the title but it wasn't popular. People bought the comic because they wanted the Superman they had been reading for years. That wasn't due to being anti-Daxamite. They just liked the character of Superman.suggesting that making a female character male is exactly the same as making a male character female is absurd
I'm not really expressing a personal opinion, I just don't think not wanting a character to change so radically is necessarily motivated by bigotry.To suggest a story is wrong and bad
No it's not. At least, not necessarily. Hercules is pretty similar to Thor but nowhere near as popular. Why? Because people like characters as much as stories. Change them (whether that be race, gender or even just a personality that doesn't acknowledge their history) and it's no surprise someone will say, that's not the Thor/Wonder Woman/Dennis the Menace I'm interested in.a character being replaced by a version that is black or female is quite specifically racist/misogynist
That's just insulting. I have a different viewpoint so why the put down?none of the straw-men you are setting up can hide that
...or being a bit ridiculous. It's not creating a new character but changing an existing character into a completely different one. There's no surprise it risks turning off existing fans.changing one of them to be female, black, or LGBT is a move toward equality
If they hold extreme views like some on the website you linked to then yes. That said, if someone reads these comics and pays over their money, why shouldn't they be tell the companies what they want? I'm currently re-reading the original X-Men, where someone has complained about not seeing the Evil Mutants. The response to the letter is pointing out how many were sick of seeing Magneto. So, readers have always complained. And why not? I see no reason why readers should just hand over money for a comic they have no liking for.a sense of entitlement that they think they should get to tell the actual comic producers how to write their comics
