You will be made to care. You will read the degenerate books.

Well there were huge swathes of comic book collectors out there, a lot of whom based a lot of their personas, beliefs, humour and lives upon what they took from reading those comic books. Whether or not you think of comic books as healthy, there's a huge market for them.

However all of them came back and said to the industry, you know what, we really need more cock in our comics. A lot more! In fact, no women at all, just guys getting it on!

OK no that didn't happen. A bunch of gays got together, wanted to re-enact some drunken sex party where someone dressed as superman but wanted to make it accessible to kids.

That's really where we're at, isn't it?

I'm doubting whether it was due to any external pressure other than twitter bluehairs. This shit is 100% pandering to a demographic they hope to lure in. It's absolutely clueless and corporate.

I don't consider comic books healthy nor unhealthy, I just despair that it's a medium dominated by two publishers that almost exclusively do one(popular but lame) thing. It's like if literature was mainly murder mysteries.

Corporate America is about stupid from the first level of management all the way up.

To save people reading, it's been available for 18 months, nobody's bought it. They're doing an offshoot miniseries instead with a bunch of different covers in a bid to get people to buy the same thing more than once and for it to try and enter the collectors' radar.

The simple fact is, nobody really wants a gay superman, even if he is supposed to be the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane (Heteros? Ulgh! At least make Lois a trans, amirite?).

But in an odd way, it could work to bring some cash into the franchise given there are some out there who get googly eyed over collectors' editions. Or just want the novelty of knowing in 30 years they can show off this quirk of history, reflective of the 2020s, or twenty troon-teens. That and it may provide some thin legitimacy so the woke can harp on about how amazing it is.

They still haven't learned, go woke go broke. This stunt has already cost them dearly to the point where Warner Brothers have even kicked them out of their offices, they're a gnat's nose hair away from being canned. They are relying on their old IPs to put together viable future releases in order to keep Warner happy. You know, the ones that we all know and love, the ones where Superman isn't sucking cock, or Batman isn't showing up in a bondage club, or He-Man and Skeletor are battling it out with swords and not sitting down to talk about feelings.
