SJW's: "WE NEED MORE MINORITIES IN COMICS!!!"
Creators: "Ok, ok, here are a bunch of minority characters."
SJW's: "OMG!! WHY DID YOU PUT MINORITIES IN HERE?? ARE YOU A RACIST!?!?!"
@transformers1024: yes Batgirl, trained by Bruce Wayne and crime-fighter on a nightly basis, is afraid of two random people on a Subway.
@lensnart: Its not very good satire.
Why is she taking the subway anyway?
Someone stole her bike.
Or y'know... She's nervous because they're all reading Batgirl articles.
This is what I was thinking
The OP is making a joke.
The Batgirl cover for June was pulled cause some think it's alluding toward abuse and victimization. So he's saying this one should be pulled cause it looks like she's afraid of colored folk.
While DC had some of moments of racism and sexism, i personally i dont think that New Run of Batgirl isnt. Batgirl have at least three friends whom arent caucasian (Frankie Charle,Nadimah Ali,Qadir Ali and also Alysia Yeoh) and none of them arent just token or just plain stereotypes. There is also Barbara and Dinah´s fight, but makes sense since last issue of N52 BOP Batgirl didnt like how Black Canary use her team and was thinking about her needs plus Dinah didnt like how Barbara was using her image of Batgirl but now they are friends because they care about it each other and their relationship is important for each other. So far i think non caucasian enemies that fought was The Jawbreakers, twin asian girls who like anime and use to comit crimes, but even that isnt racist and her enemies have modern themes like how people abuse of techonology to do bad things. I personally find Writers of Thor (The female one) more sexist due to they make gender equality messages but that they arent gender equality messages
I dont think so...
there are only two black people.(couple in the back)
the guy with earth0 haircut is not black, his skin is more darker, thats all. maybe more close to medditarian.
I dont think they disempower women. Even if they do, Im sure it is an accident that is caused by trying to make the character not a mary sue.
