How is that misogynistic?

How is taking women’s suffering for granted not misogynistic? Tynion just blatantly ignored there were two female victims of Alan’s cowardice.

Alan literally says he loved them with all his mind, and he was hiding how he felt about men from even himself back then. This is something that happened to many gay men, especially one or two generations ago. But go off with you whiny BS I guess

@Bitchwitcher.I agree with you.This guy or girl only wants to whine for the sake of whining.

Imagine if men complain about female video characters killing more men than women in video games.LOL

FYI: Gay people cannot be sexually attracted to women. What he said is a plain lie to excuse himself. Did he tell his wives he is a gay? Did he tell the truth when he impregnated his wife? Of course it happened that a gay man used another innocent woman to avoid the pressure of the society, sacrificing a poor woman‘a life for his own sake and it’s a shame it still happens and many misogynists just like you consider it’s not a big deal. How proud you are to be one.

I’m talking about there are a group of women who are cheated by their gay husband in real life. They have to face with their husbands who don’t love them and are more likely to be infected with sexual transmitted diseases. This book understated women’s role in marriages like this. And you think it’s a joke like video games. See, that’s just what a misogynist do.

excuse me, but this kind of deception is aberrant and if there is misogyne, a man who does that to a woman is because he hates his gender, I have a friend who was in that situation, just because the unfortunate wanted to have a child.

That act is not only not of a superhero, it is not of a person with a little empathy, it is selfish.

You know alan scott has been gay in this continuity for over 10 years? This is the opening and combining of timelines so things like this end up happening. Infinite frontier is about what happens when ypu open up the entire timeline and a characters past all gets melded into one. The alan scott part is there to show how hypertime makes it work.

Its not alan acting any way! It's the timeline making it work

@MaudBenjamin if we want to blame this bizarre game of Who Wants To Be A Bigot then I could accuse you of homophobia by ignoring the societal pressure for men to marry women and have kids and to never ever do something so insane as to be gay. But I'm not gonna do that because you're clearly just a whiny troll with nothing better to do on a tuesday. Have fun sweetie

Gay men have had entire families with women. Love isn't just sexual attraction. This sort of thing was a lot more common than you'd think. No one was being used. Gay men go through denial and repress themselves because society and culture tells them it's wrong to be gay. This doesn't happen as much anymore because luckily, society has progressed when it comes to its treatment of LGBT people. Of course, your responses reveal your blatant homophobia, so I doubt you actually give a shit about women

People... this also has to do with every comic book version of a character coming together at once. Alan Scott was gay in the new 52 and when that character version was combined with every other one, you end up with a guy who is conflicted about his past. It’s a timeline thing as much as a moral thing. This isn’t a reboot of the character, it’s a combination of past continuities and shows how that causes character conflict.

Or are all looking at it as Alan Scott just deciding now. Imagine what would happen if there were 5.different versions of you and in an instant, they were combined together. What would happen if 2 of the 5 were gay, a different sex, good vs evil? That is what is happening here and actually sets up crazy possibilities with things down the road, not just about sexual preference, but in finding out what characters remember.

@Psycamorean Which part don’t you understand about Alan had two children with his wife? And I’ve said it, transferring the pressure from the society to another woman is selfish. Just because he feels bad doesn’t mean he has the right to deceive another people.

I know this is a continuity issue but I’m just mad how ill-considered it was done.

It's people like you that make individuals like Alan stay in the closet for so long living a lie. Grow up, accept that the world changes, and understand that life isn't always as simple as a comic book.

Oh did I forced gays to cheat their wives?

Nothing in the comic suggests he even cheated on his wives! And you know, people don't consciously decide, "I'm going to let society crush me today!" He never deceived anyone except himself! He loved those women, but denied himself. Which is a very common thing among gay people, and as I said, no one decides to do that, it just happens because people are complex social animals that are influenced by a multitude of things, both internally and externally! There's no morality debate here!

Repeating "a gay" over and over again really diminishes any real point you were trying to make.

Gay men aften cheat on their wives. How do you think he figured out he was gay? LOL

Just like straight people don't know they're straight until they've had sex, right?

Are you serious with that last part? " Straight people don't know they're straight until they've had sex"? Lol. Like that happened, EVER. :))

My point was that straight people don't have to have sex to realize that they are attracted to the opposite gender, and the same is true of gay people and their attraction to same gender. Maelstron thinks that gay people must have sex to figure out that they are gay. Maelstron is wrong. Maybe that clears it up for you.

Remember what this all really about. The timeline has now opened up into 1 continuous timeline. "Everything Matters" and when Wonder Woman agreed to do it, the risk was that not everyone would make it, some characters would come back different but others would survive. Roy is back because of the timeline. He doesn't know why and we even have to find out what this Roy even will be our remember. Technically, this shows Batman coming back from the dead as the timeline corrects and opens.

And as for alan scott, that is showing that when the timeline opened into one, some characters with conflicting clversions get combined into one. Alan Scott was gay in the New 52 Earth 2 book and when the timeline combined, alan Scott realized he was gay now because of the combination of versions of himself. That's trying to show evrrything matters. Btw, i'm not sure that you know his son is gay as well.

I'll be honest I've never read Alan Scott but I think it's unfair if they make him look like a scammer on this issue. And as I underlined this part, it was something personal that reminded me of friends who were hurt by cheating.

I will not take the points that I drop because of this story. On the other hand, the appearance of Roy is still bad, I clarify I love that Roy is back I like the character, but without an explanation this is almost laughable, someone waved his magic wand and we have him back.

Thanks for your kind comments @Weird Science Jim , I didn't like how Alan was guided but I'll skip that part.

PS I don't know if your son is gay or not and it doesn't matter as long as the character has a good development. but I don't read them, I'm more of a Marvel fan, I really started reading DC after Arkham Knight (I loved Jason Todd's character) and although after Judd they haven't told him good stories, it's because of the only one I read DC, Batman I like or used to like beforeafter the declaration of Bat conCat everything became a filler with few interesting things.

sorry his son. pff

The thing with ROy was literally waving a magic wand. Wonder Woman opened up all the DC timelines and made them one at the end of Death metal. Don't get caught up that Roy was dead because almost everyone was dead! Remember, going back to the books after Death Metal doesn't mean Death Metal didn't happen. Death Metal was the end of continuity/timeline. Death Metals ending set up a whole new "everything matters" timeline where a lot of things were reset and combined.

The explanation of Roy being back is that the timeline has combined and reset. That's how everyone is back. It's really spelled out right before Roy with Oliver and Dinah - they are even researching what a changed timeline means. DC was not as clear as they should have been, but it is a soft continuity reboot where a lot of characters will be brought back (some might be gone) and they will have to figure out who they really are.

Since you haven't read DC, the Alan Scott thing makes more sense because in the New 52 (the most current continuity), He was a Gay man on Earth 2 without kids. This reset of the timeline combining all things combines that with his past pre-crisis and flashpoint stuff and to make a combined version. It may play like deciet and cheating, but it's the timeline trying to make a bunch of different characters work as one.

"Everything Matters" is the slogan so just making him a gay guy without kids leaves out stuff or just going back to pre-crisis stuff leaves out stuff. I mean, just having him back and not being 90 years old shows the combining of versions. Remember, Death Metal ended with a BOOM! timelines combined. This is Alan waking up one day and realizing that he was gay (New 52), but also had kids and wives, etc. It would be like waking up from years of amnesia of a bunch of past lives

again, I think it could have been spelled out better and even played better, but they wanted to keep the gay aspect from New 52, but also have the kids

i am glad you are giving DC I try! I went opposite way and started reading more marvel a bit ago!

Death metal I gave up on its second stage, whow how nice to explain all this madness to me. It is a headache for those of us who only follow only a few characters and the canon.

I stopped reading Marvel for a while and now with King in Black I resumed it and The Amazing Spaiderman reminds me why Marvel has been my favorite, even so I do not want any of the publishers to close, only that I feel a great drop in quality in numbers by DC for a little over a year.

i get it - i haven't been overly positive with DC for a bit either

Say what you want about Morrison but hes having a ball on the main lantern book. Future State was tailor made for great lantern stories. DC blew it.

Really hahahaha it's nice to know that I don't waste my time on this. tks
