DC Rejected "Trans" Superboy Pitch
Connie Kent....formerly Connor Kent. This would have been the path Superboy would have gone down if a pitch by Kim & Kim co-creator Magdalene Visaggio had been successful. I expect Tim/Con twitter and tumblr to go crazy with the art on this now. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dc-p...oman-superman/ |

Thought this was gonna be at Jon. It's just a matter of time before they make a well known character transition genders. Already happened to some minor characters.

Generally speaking, we are not ready for this yet. Give it another century. Maybe in 50 years we'll be more accepting of homosexual characters since that is still under the throat-shoving banner. Again, generally speaking.

No. Just make NEW characters. Don't turn established characters like Ice Man and Superboy into gay and trans characters. Leave the established characters and make new ones.

However, I do agree with you that established characters should not be altered to suddenly have a different lifestyle just to pander to a demographic.

They just don't know how to write characters properly. I mean I know gay people that have actual hobbies, interests and goals. Their entire lives aren't just hopping on Grinder all day or getting ready for the next pride parade. They have to cut with the stupid stereotypes.

Or to flip the topic, race-swapping in TV and movies. It doesn't strike anyone as not only an insult to the character they're swapping, but to the race they're swapping them with writ large? It's as if to say, "OK, [fill in the blank race] character won't succeed on their own merits, so they need to ride in on the back of [fill in the blank race, generally white] in order to make it." It's insulting, it's weak, and it's lazy pure and simple.

Into a garbage it goes and hopefully stays there forever with the likes of Snwflake and whatever SJW super trash Marvel was trying to do.
