No one in here is actually reading the book and the articles in the OP are some comics gate bullshyt.

I was gonna say. It looks like a whole lot of projection on the part of the original article writers. It looked more to me that Wolverine was making a joke than anything else.

They need to quit playing and make a new character, IMO.

Cyclops has been pulling the baddest women in the X-men universe from Day 1. Jean Grey, Colleen Wing, Lee Forrester, Emma Frost... even Psylocke was fiending for him in the 90s. Dude was THE alpha leader and was never afraid to step to Logan, the Sentinels, Magneto, Apocalypse, Sinister, etc. A lot of cats sleep on Cyclops because of his :flabbynsick: portrayal in the movies and cartoon, but he handles business in the comics.

And Logan is one of the poster-children for alpha anti-heroes. He's been catching bodies from the very beginning. Wolverine has always been about killing ninjas, being a loner, throwing hands with Sabretooth, and crushing on women he'll never actually get. Making him and Scott gay makes ZERO sense for either character.
(Unpopular opinion: I don't think it makes sense for Iceman either.)

Northstar on the other hand is alright. He was gay from the jump, so the writers weren't contradicting over half a century worth of history when they brought him out of the closet. Its one thing to come out with a gay character, just be original about it. Give us somebody cool like Revolver Ocelot, or Omar in the Wire. Changing up characters with 50+ year histories just to generate headlines just feels lazy and desperate. As much as I don’t condone violence and bullying against the lgbt community, it needs to be said that gay is NOT the new black, and never will be.

This is what I keep saying about the death of comic books though. They aren't written to entertain regular people anymore, and they aren't marketed to young people so they can grow up with the characters. Now you have too many fanboys running the industry who are only writing to entertain other fanboys and/or push their politics on the readers. Everyone's so desperate to out-"woke" one-another that they forgot to tell good stories.

@Art Barr has been saying for the longest that the comics fell off completely when Jim Lee quit.

I don't heavily mess with X-men outisde of the Chris Claremont era, but the more I hear about what's going on with the books today, I'm more and more inclined to believe him. I really wanted to hold out hope that things would get better once Disney got the rights back.
I just hope the MCU X-men take their inspiration from golden years of the Claremont X-men run, not this new millennium faux-Watchmen nonsense they're coming out with today.

Where would you brehs officially say that the comics jumped the shark?

I feel for you lil breh's and lil dunns.
they been giving y'all bs and never gave y'all that real shyt.
I think every day if i had a lil guy.
how fukk'n hard it would be to get him to enjoy shyt.
When i know after i show him what i liked as a kid.
he is not gonna have anything similar.
the older my daughter gets, I thank god i had a girl because it would have been ultra hard.
to get a lil guy to be happy imo.
with my daughter, it is like oh those are boys toys.
it plays differently when you give your daughter lisa Hayes, lady jaye, Leia and Scarlett..plus she is named after princess alaura.

so it was a different dynamic.
with a little boy, trying to raise him.
plus hope he was just generally happy as a child growing up.
would be a concern of mine as a parent of a boy.

I could see your gen and your frustrations.
either you don't know to have.
or have been made.
as gens after become more aware.

it is really disheartening.
seeing the degradation and then also knowing how generation wise.

they completely let you guys in the later gens COMPLETELY THA fukk DOWN.
when i was in comic school, my teachers used to say this could happen.
back then i did not wanna believe because i was a kid. Enjoying my favorite creators, during the boom period.
now i look and see this and i just feel for y'all.

just reading this.
you can tell the writer is a hack and would have been done in the shooter era.

all those weirdo offbrand gay ass vertigo writers are the issue as well.
they continue to write mags like they never read comics before. Let alone the actual editor page and responses issue to issue month to month. Where shooter would explain in extreme detail.
why this would or would not be able to occur.
plus why if it did occur the bottom would fall out.
reading these panels.
you can tell this writer and editor did not know.
plus the actual penciler should have protested.
just because he was asked to draw shyt.
that would damage the integrity of the title. Which as a professional you are not to ever do in comics. Yet here we are.
