Y'know what really grinds my gears? This new trend of absolute diversity in comics. Inclusive casts of heroes are important because they show kids of all creeds and colors that they can be heroes and they allow readers of different backgrounds to identify with characters, I get that, but I think people are starting to go overboard in their idea of what kids want out of comics and have started making comics as politically correct as possible to cash in on 2010's hyperliberalism trend.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not some banjo-plucker who doesn't want minorities in comics or something. I didn't give a shit when they killed off straight, white spiderman to bring in bisexual, biracial spiderman, and I didn't give a shit when a woman was worthy of Mjolnir. I especially didn't give a shit when the Falcon took over for Steve Rogers. I didn't care about any of this because all in all, they were still believable changes and believable characters.

But at a certain point, some of the new heroes just seem like they're created to hit as many PC bullet points as possible. The new [i]Iron Man[/i] is a teenage black girl who's story is that she grew up in the hood dealing with Generic Poverty Violence™, who turns out to [i]actually[/i] be a genius who invents a new iron man suit while in college. Porcelain was released last year, and though I read like thirty articles saying how cool it was that there's a [color=limegreen][b]~*~GENDERFLUID~*~[/b][/color] hero, all of them seemed to just gawk at this new character's gender while ignoring literally [i]every other facet[/i] of the character.

Isn't that missing the point? To have heroes with differing ethnicities, orientations, and genders where their differences are overshadowed by their fucking [i][i]superpowers[/i][/i]?
