@PointmanC @DeathHandDallas They treat race swaps as trophies to “make whitey mad” when the only group that this is actually hurting is black creators.

@EnjoyerFive It's a slap to the memory of Dwayne McDuffie's face that Icon is not the character in the 'New' Superman movie Seriously, read Icon, he is a great and complex character

@meatcheesebaby I did. And in of all the dakotaverse characters i read so far,he still my favorite. He's the perfect balance,imho, of political themes that i think most writers nowadays don't know how to make anymore.

@EnjoyerFive Honestly there's no excuse when it comes to DC or Marvel, Sony did it twice with Miles and both times made his name just as synonymous with Spider-Man as Peter Parker.

@ChaddLast Exactly. All they need to do is try. They have brand names recognized by millions,all they gotta do is make an actual good characters and promote them, that's it.

@EnjoyerFive Race swap and gender swap is lazy. If the only thing that makes the character unique is their skin color or gender then they come off as bland and usually not that impressive compare to the original.

@EnnuiKeaton They come off as bland because that's what they are. They are created by shallow narcissistic people that only show empathy towards the only thing they care about: themselves.

@MadderRed1 “when it's done good, i don't even notice and just vibe” That's what most people feel when they're just enjoying the good art they're consuming and not having to cope with “the characters in it are x so it's good!”.

@Hobojebus Or a coon in my case. There's just no escape

@EnjoyerFive I hate race and gender swap

@EnjoyerFive EXACTLY! Don’t give me a black Corlys Velaryon (Fire and Blood), give me Kip Guile! (Lightbringer series)

@EnjoyerFive This issue of punisher aged well

@EnjoyerFive The Wonder Years reboot immediately comes to mind.

@spongefan21 Right? And when all fails,you can always blame racism instead of having any accountability!
