Iām sorry to have upset you, but I did state that this comes from my standpoint as a writer, comic fan, and realist. I donāt appreciate the hypocritical comments of asking why I would say something like this when you called me an incredibly degrading name in the same response to my post. If I were to tell you ālet straight characters be straightā about the variety of comic characters who have been rewritten to change their sexuality to appease a demand from the lgbt community, you would likely get upset with me. It isnāt about them being homosexual or not. Itās about realism. It isnāt believable. I, personally, donāt appreciate the mediaās statistical over-representation of the lgbt community in media and the rewriting of long standing backstories because of this, as the issue could simply be solved by rewriting a character without a long standing backstory or making an entirely new, non-stereotypical, original character, which I, and many others, would have much preferred as opposed to changing an established character. This statement will likely also upset you, but I challenge you to turn that anger into something constructive rather than lashing out at a stranger on the internet because, as you stated, you know nothing about me. I happen to be a rather stoic person and do not tend to use emotions as my first response, but rather logic and realism. This is my personality, which I can not change. I can empathize with wanting to have positive representation of a collective group yourself or a loved one is a part of, and often wish that for myself, but I would be happier with an accurate representation than a forced positive that isnāt believable. I realize that this is a trait unique to those who share my priorities and personality traits, and I realize that more often, other human beings would rather have the forced positive representation than accuracy if it means shedding light on something bad about a group, because the majority of human beings, at least in countries with access to comics and other forms of media, are emotively driven rather than driven by reasoning, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being that way. DC Comics has often dealt with deep and heavy subject matter, and this would be no different, and in fact, could be quite helpful and sympathetic to women or men who had gotten out of a bad relationship only to find themselves in another abusive one. Actually, Iām not totally understanding why there is such a big fuss about this in the first place, because there is already a closely related character, who is a hero not a villain, who falls into the category of lesbian. That would be Batwoman. Itās actually a very well written comic book series with a very unique art style. I wish I had gotten to read more of it, but I wasnāt able to afford it at the time. Maybe someday though. Anyway, I would much rather see women looking up to the positive relationship of a positive character than that of villains. It seems to be a healthier option. I have thought this for quite some time, as so many women praise Harley and have even stated that they āneed to find their Jokerā when in fact that would be a terrible fate to befall anyone. Simply put, I am a fan of comics, and I was stating my opinion on the writing of this story line and what I would like to see from my standpoint as a writer myself. I hope this clears up any grievances you had with my statement, as you have hopefully come to the conclusion that I am entitled to an opinion as a fan of DC Comics and as a writer and your fellow human being. I wish you great understanding and patience with those who differ from you in the future. Thank you for your feedback. It is always refreshing to hear a different perspective, even if I still do not hold it as my own. Godspeed, fellow human.
