But I won’t watch it anyway.

In these politically correct times we live in, won’t she have to at least be questioning her sexuality???

Are they going to leave that out, and just let people assume she is a straight female? We can’t have that, can we?

Since Marvel (of whom Disney is the owner) has rolled out the latest New Warriors comics series, featuring the new superheroes (and I’m not making this up) Snowflake and Safespace, it’s to be expected...

Good question. Her parents will probably be transgender.

“Why?”

It could be because those involved in the project think it will make a profit.

I’d bet 3 to 1 she finds out she’s gay somewhere along the one.

Her name or nickname will.be Doogie?

Doogie was a nickname for the character’s given name of Douglas. So what’s her given name, Dougleesa?

...."Why?"....

Because Hollywood( and most of the rest of America) has no imagination anymore. They can't think of anything original so they recycle something old with a "woke" twist on it. It's not really meant for entertainment, but for training the youngsters up into little socialists. If you watch it,...they will keep coming.

Like "Kealoha" is an Asian name?

Idiots.
