People who are surprised by things like this have never spent time in the Bible Belt.

Nope. I’m saying that, in general, the only way to know if someone is trans (or Mormon, or a believer that the moon landing was faked) is when someone is determined to make sure you know. Probably too make a point.

You’re right! I shouldn’t have used real world information, I should have checked the Official Forgotten Realms Demographics Guide to see what their trans percentage is.

I don’t know. Iceman is, apparently, suddenly gay. If Marvel can retcon a character who has chased women for 50 years into a homosexual, I can only assume they could also retcon any other one into a trans.

No, but keep spewing.

Why would I know this person is trans? Why would I know a videogame character is trans?

I don’t know. Should game makers pander to mass demographics? The demographics of their customers?

Exactly. See? Nobody ever satisfied. But it’s definitely important that game/book/movie creators pander to groups so small the word ‘minority’ probably doesn’t even apply anymore.

Yup. You seen the bitching about Agent Carter? It’s not praise because it’s a show starring a kick ass woman.

Google tells me 0.3% of Americans are trans.

Jezebel Answer: Because he was a straight white male, honey. There’s nothing more evil.

This is the Internet. You could almost certainly manage a fifty page argument about the inclusion of a black character. Or the lack of a black one.

She should be in a burka. Then everyone is satisfied.

Because if a company does it, it’s not so bad.

I suspect I won’t like this movie either.

I hear about Cruz’s intelligence all the time, yet still haven’t seen any evidence.

I disagree with you on just about everything, but it was only the SJWers with an agenda (men are mad, mmkay?) who saw that Black Widow thing the way you described.

I bet I know!

To be followed, the next day, by a post, from the same author about “everything wrong with BvS”.
