It might have been a big deal in 2010 when Kevin Keller was introduced (quite smartly) but it's been 4 years and 2010 was itself a bit overdue. I mean the idea of hiding homosexuality from adolescent Archie readers is silly as it's an inescapable part of the world they know and Archie isn't supposed to be a 1940's…

Not that I should need writer's account for what's clear on the page, but there's a compilation of sources including writers being unequivocal.

My theory is that they keep re-using what are very OLD established characters. Superman and Batman are from like 1930/40's Spiderman and Iron Man from 60's, and back then even mentioning homosexuality existing could get the comic branded obscene.

I honestly don't see the discussion. What's to discuss? Especially amongst Archie's readership. Asshats like Anne Coulter will say something but people like that have something nasty to say about everything.

You're amazingly bitter about this (and apparently don't read many comics consider how you disparagingly you assume no gay representation).

You seem to be doing your best to ignore my point and reiterate your own when I read and comprehended you the first time.

I'm talking about compared to REALITY. Which is kind of important because we all live in reality.

Here's the problem of PS4. It really has nothing to distinguish itself except slight graphical improvement.

"No its not. The PS2 was already the most successful platform ever prior to the PS3's release by the end of 2007 surpassing the Game Boy."

"You can't simply expect the PS3 to be doing as well as the PS2, the most successful platform ever."

Yeah it's officially NOGASAYB.

No zombies rising from the dead to consumer the living, that is dramatic and unusual... homosexuality is mundane and normal.

NOGASAYB?

Those might be some interesting point... if they were relevant to what I pointed out.

It doesn't have to change to have a continuous influence on the state of console gaming especially if part of that state is stagnation.

You know what was highest selling console before PS2? PS1. Playstation should be going from strength to strength. PS2 selling so well is no reason for PS3 to not follow with equivalent sales, the market should be growing, not contracting.

State laws can vary hugely. And Japan has such script laws your in dangerous territory with simple BB guns.

The law is so written "concealment" isn't the same as hidden, just "not obviously be a gin even if entirely visible".

Firearms is defined by either (1) energy level of projectiles or (2) combustion of gunpowder to propel a projectile.

So the most popular game series in consoles... any affect they have on the state of consoles should be mitigated.
