They killed off the fagot black doctor, but the other fudge packer they have to keep alive as is essential to the current plot line.
When I saw that the main character was a black woman named “Michael” (WTF!? Who comes up with crap like that?), I googled a bit and learned that more homo stuff was coming up. So I stopped watching. I actually kinda liked the black girl, but…Michael? And more perverts to come? Perverts in Space? No thanks.

I wonder how the ratings are doing…

Perhaps her parents wanted a boy and picked the name in advance. Not all that uncommon for a girl to have a traditional boy’s name and sometimes the reverse.

As for the character herself, she seems firmly grounded in liking men. Although her love interest has turned out to be a evil Klingon, so something could change there.

Fortunately, I watch a streamed version of the show and can skip past the faggot parts.

Comic books were once aimed at a certain age group to fulfill their fantasy of adventure.

Then they became focused on truth, justice and the American way. Then they focused on social justice. Few were sold after that. They died out.

Yup, there was something going on with Gumby!

Clay animation was always strange to me.

If comics are your bag, you could try “Alt-Hero” It is about to launch having been more that fully funded. A project of Vox Day, author, blogger, editor,etc.

Marvel’s, as with other comic makers, have all opted to pursue ‘diversity’ and SJW themed comics, to their detriment.

I bookmarked this particular video moons ago...hits the nail on the head:

The publisher is, above all else, in the business of making money,

If this were strictly true then the characters would never have been commissioned.

Alpha Flight, weren’t it?

Vindicator was kind of their leader and yes the Wolverine/Canada backstory was the ‘hook’ for getting them involved in the X-Men and later, a short-lived title of their own.

until then ... they may be getting the message that sjw crap loses audience, we’ll see. There are plenty of other shows.

I’ve never been into comic books; I assume that is something people initially get into when they are children. Why market these books to 1) populations that don’t have children, or 2) populations that are notorious for not reading - with content that is offensive to your large clientele of “normal”?

Small wonder these “diversity characters” fail any focus group testing...

ALL media has become a propaganda organ for leftest, anti-American/business/white male christian distortions.

Well.... Whaddya know?

Maybe Kinsey really did pull that ludicrous ten percent number out of his backside. And packers and munchers really do make up less than 3 per cent of the population after all?

I started earlier, when they were a dime.

Never was much of a Superman fan. Much more Batman, Blackhawk and Sgt. Rock of Easy Co.

Started with Marvel when they went to 12 cents. Big Jack Kirby fan with Captain America, Iron Man and Sgt. Fury And His Howling Commandos.

Later with Jim Steranko and Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD.

For me it was “Space Family Robinson” and “Metal Men”

...the rest of the comics that picked up nominations from GLAAD are largely published by BOOM! Studios, selling fewer than 3000 copies each month—a far cry from DC’s “Doomsday Clock,” which sold 158,000 copies in December.

3,000 / 158,000 = 0.0189 or less than 2%. I don't understand why a business wouldn't want to give up 98% of its sales for the pursuit of social justice. Perhaps we need a law to mandate that people buy these comics or face tax penalty.

Wait. Is that too over the top? You're right. That would never fly. Government would never make people buy stuff.

By Star Trek time, 23rd century, won’t they have cured gender dysphoria and homosexual disorders? Even accidentally like pennicillin, if not actively pursued?
