30 days of arthurian legends - Day 3: Your favourite female character
I love them all but I’ll have to say Guinevere. When she is written well she can be an incredibly interesting character. I like the fact that she seems a point fix, someone who doesn’t really move from Camelot but with a lot ofamazing potentials.
Hi Tumblr comics fans,
Let’s accomplish some social good today. The organization One Million Moms, who describe themselves as “a network of Christian mothers and grandmothers taking a stand for our children who are exploited by the entertainment industry”, have recently released a statement asking for a write-in campaign to Marvel (owned by Disney) and DC (owned by Warner Bros.) asking them to “change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately”.
This is in direct relation to Marvel’s first gay marriage in Astonishing X-Men #50 and DC announcing a reveal of a male, iconic character’s sexual identity being changed from previous incarnations. One Million Moms goes on to say things like,
Children desire to be just like superheroes. Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, “I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?”
This is ridiculous! Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don’t but do want to indoctrate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light. These companies are heavily influencing our youth by using children’s superheroes to desensitize and brainwash them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable. As Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27).This is yet again another example of the bigotry from close-minded individuals. Obviously they have no problem referencing Romans 1:26-27, but heavens forbid they take a gander at Matthew 7:1 (Judge not, that you be not judged.). I won’t even touch the stereotypical gender roles this organization is promoting.
What can you do? Easy! Let’s lets overwhelm their voice. For every email Marvel or DC receives asking to remove homosexual elements from comics, let’s send them emails congratulating them on the steps they are taking and showing support for their editorial and creative decisions. Tweet them and let them know you are proud to support gay characters and gay marriage in comics.
One Million Moms Twitter (Note: Let’s try to be civil when explaining why their bigotry is unacceptable. Sometimes it pays to take the high road.)
I hope this post gets some traction, so if you support this cause please reblog for a signal boost.
So, I am still at the beginning of Avengers Academy because, well, Italy. But I am glad we have a new gay character in the Marvel. I liked Striker since the beginning yay.
I am a bit disappointed that it’s another MALE character. I hoped for Hazmat to be gay or bi. But I guess we have asexual and aromantic Finesse…
30 Days of Marvel | Day 3 | Your Favorite Diva
If diva means lady than I am very indecisive. I love a lot of Marvel ladies (A LOT) but I decided to say Carol Danvers because she is the only one of whom I have already the specific comics (Ms Marvel series). And she stole my heart!
I will!
Can Bonomo, Turkish gay (or so the internet says) singer. I didn’t like his song at the finals of Eurovision but now it is just stuck in my head.
AAAAM A LONELY SAILOR
Would it be, like, unreasonable to petition for Tom Hiddleston to be cast as Low Key? I get that he’s a big movie star now, but it’s kind of a small but critical role- Loki is mostly made up of memories and cameos until the very last bit.
Thoughts?
I don’t know if my mind will manage to survie because… you know, if Tom Hiddleston will be Low Key then I will start believing he really IS Loki. HOWEVER I WANT THIS ANYWAY
you seem insecure about us, rictor.
I really want Star and Rictor to have a happy moment in the comics. It’s been non-stop relationship angst for awhile now.
Oh Shatterstar! I am really behind with X-Factor D:
if only.
WHAT IS THIS WHY DOES IT LOOK REAL
BUT I KNOW IT IS A LIE
this was done by an artist who did a few issues of Blue Beetle actually! which I think is pretty neat
ALL OF THE FEEEEELINGS
I HAVE ACTUALLY PRINTED THIS SOME TIME AGO AND PUT IT AFTER MY “RED ZONE” COMICS BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE THE CANON SEQUEL.
I do not support this project in any way, and trust me, it would be better if we parted now rather than later.
What is it? I only found something about a photographer and rights advocate but I guess it’s not that…
