Keep going in on this theory of,yours....
My theory as to how intersectional black feminism of the late 80s/early 90s became mainstreamed by the white liberal left and white LGBT movement decades later?
Long story short, this happened when womens studies turned into "gender studies" as these folks stayed in education and teaching while slowly influencing the overall curriculum using the same arguments black scholars were using for more presence in the academy and K-12.
My point was that at the same time in the 80s/90s there was a serious critique of media, it's influence, and whether it could ever serve as a proper form of representation and empowerment. See the popularity of Manufacturing Consent, or the film Color Adjustment by the black gay filmmaker Marlon Riggs which critiqued that there ever could be "proper" or accurate representation of black people on TV.
This is similar to me on how these folks ignore Martha Nussbaum's theories on " physical asymmetry" as a form of misogyny when it relates to supporting transwomen in sports. They'll pull from Judith Butler or another thinker when it suits their purpose. It's all situational and used to bolster their place in the mainstream which was denied to them by white society. There's no serious critique of the system (in this case media influence) beyond them not being "included" in it.
Black characters like these are just a gateway for them to piggyback more white gay characters in the mix in the same way they piggybacked off of ideas from black feminist scholars.

Another reason we are vulnerable to these kinds of depictions and to fakkitry is groups like Jews and Hispanics can invoke the "family values" or "protect our children" defense whereas the black family has disintegrated so they don't care if we are depicted this way.
They feel they have free license to low key shyt on us because they don't think we have family values.

These nikkas dont even look cool
They look offbrand
They make these new nikkas look like sidekicks instead of heroes of their own

I'm just here to reiterate that Marvel went from this...
...to this...
Props to posters like @Blacksands for being a part of the solution and making their own content, because this new stuff coming from the big 2 isn't the wave.
The scary thing is that kids now aren't growing up with entertainment that reinforces being a good person. Star Wars in the 70s and 80s taught us about overcoming adversity, and about the power of patience, forgiveness, and selflessness. For all their faults, even the prequels taught us about good and evil and about the dangers of arrogance, selfishness, and unchecked passion and emotion. Marvel comics in the 60s, 70s, and 80s taught us about heroism and how with great power, there must be great responsibility. Movies like Aliens and the Terminator showed us that women can be tough as nails without being preachy, condescending, or unrealistic about things.
What are kids today learning from these generic first person shooters and agenda-driven shows, movies, and cartoons? The American family is already disintegrating more and more every day.
I'm scared for this next generation, tbh.
It's a diss. Plain and simple. It's a diss.

Nope they really going all the way out.
Introducing the New 'New Warriors'
And the contrast to how they do white and black characters is just...
I'm not usually for conspiracies but this isn't an accident.
I have a 12yo neice and a 7yo nephew. My BiL buys them Moon Girl/Devil Dinosaur & manga.
This ____ does NOT interest them.

Couldnt have said it any better myself. These agenda driven comics doesn't even teach the proper lessons of good vs evil and the decisions that have to be made for the greater good.

I will say this though. As much as we all know these books obviously aren't for us, I'd rather see the T*mblr crowd making their own characters than for them to hijack all the established characters we've been following for years and years.
Just let Black Panther be Black Panther while you make your own
characters in peace for the people who want to read about them.
It might be better to just let them cook on this one
If the T*mblr crowd doesn't end up supporting their books, then that's on them
They can write the stories they want to draw over there, and I'll be chilling over here reading my 80s and 90s X-men comics

The two white characters are terrible too
Ones name is Screentime, and his power is always being connected to the internet due to some experiment with the internet gone wrong.
The other one is named B-negative and he's a vampire goth kid.
This is the shyt they put out at marvel now?

spiderman is my favorite supehero. I'll loosely keep track of what their doing with him periodically if it sounds good I'll dive in otherwise I'm
manga will end someday and if you read it weekly it takes up 15-20 minutes of reading and actively thinking about it. Much more palatable to the average person nowadays.
