I didn’t read it. What’s the gender/sexuality stuff in it?

Well, there's this girl with a half shaven head who meets Kendra and she says she's gay, that she might not be a woman, which is moronic. There's some sort of panel with a BLM protest, someone yelling "f*** you, cops". Then this girl asks Kendra if she has a shot with her, Kendra backs out, though I can guarantee they're gonna get hooked up later somehow. Then we cut to another lesbian couple. What the hell does this fanfic have to do with this story?

@ebonyc I am probably further left than you, but still pretty in the middle. Having said that, I have found that many stories in comics these days feel like horrible fan fiction. It’s like the publishers do not understand how to find creators who understand the craft or even what works. It’s clear by the many bad reviews here that people were disappointed.

@JBL Reviews - I like to think I'm not an extremist. I've been tolerant all my life, but I'm getting a bit annoyed of what's being pushed today. Unfortunately, this comic book is ideology first, story second or third. I've read comics that had either left or right ideology in it, but it wasn't dominant. I could tell they wanted to tell a good story first and sprinkled in some of their beliefs like a lot of writers do. Unfortunately, this comic is about the writer's griefs, not Hawkgirl.

@JBL Reviews - The way you're interacted with me tells me you're not an extremist either and I appreciate and agree with your opinion. Some people would've addressed me with all kinds of "-phobe" words. Maybe it's harsh to call it "trash", but it certainly feels like that's what this is.

@thecimmerian Oh there's certainly more bad than I've said.

@ebonyc Haha I hope I’m not extreme for either side. I do wonder if, month by month, current comics are no longer for me. They seem to have been co-opted by a group that I can’t seem to identify with, and that’s outside of some the issues you brought up.

Lol you didn't even read the issue . You didn't even mentioned several elements of the comic. You were sent here by an internet pundit like a sheep.

They didn't read it because they didn't read it lol. His review doesn't mention a single thing about the comic. He was sent here, he had no interest in this from the start but got invested because of his politics. Its obvious.

I think people are quick to call you any sort of "-phobe" because somehow you always manage to find and review issues that have LGBTQIA+ characters or some sort of progressive message and review bomb it. Not really the most unbiased track record man.

Straight up saying, "I like to think I'm not an extremist," while having posted about how you think two people kissing made you stop reading a book because it's gross, digging on diverse character representation and any sort of racial inequality being depicted all while using the Alt-Right thesaurus really paints you in a singular light.

@toonscrap I did read it. I even gave quotes from it. Try harder. You use non arguments like always. Given hoe you didn't recognize what I said was in this comic book, you probably didn't read it yourself. Your trolling is washed up.

@tron thats not even what this book did tho! I mean, it literally just has characters appear. At no point do they turn to the audience and divulge the virtues of homosexuality lmfao. Your analogy is a false equivalence. If Ben wrote a book about a character I like, and a republican christian appears in it, I'm not gonna call the book bad just because if that lol.

A writer should be restricted from including characters they like in their own book? I guess someone should tell zdarsky that since he primarily focused on tim Drake Robin as batman sidekick in his run, because of preference. Or when bendis routinely picks a character, often an oc to push in his books. If she wants to add representation to er stories thats whatever as long as the books are good. Im not attaching value to the writers preferred character treatment. I'm attaching it to the quality.

And the crazy thing is, this book was just decent. It wasn't high tier in the writing cale either. And I have said that, I think its fine to not love the story direction. My issue is when people attach it to their politics, and that is objectively what most of these reviewers are actually doing. It then becomes irrelevant what the quality of the book is. Thats my issue with it. But honestly you seem more reasonable than some others. So we can end it here if you wish
