Axel Alonso spoils Avengers Academy

Axel Alonso’s comment in a recent interview on CBR, talking about diversity in Marvel characters:

“Also, Striker just came out of the closet in “Avengers Academy,” and Wiccan and Hulkling continue to play a huge role in “Young Avengers/Avengers: Children’s Crusade.” I feel like I’m just getting started.”

“Just came out?” Or… about to come out? Christos Gage has been tweeting:

“Regarding Striker: Make sure to pick up AVENGERS ACADEMY #23 in a couple weeks. I’ll have a lot more to say when the story’s out!”

	You don't suppose he was Anne McCaffrey'd? Rest in Peace, Anne. You were a great writer and a legend in the world of Science Fiction, but you had some waaaaay out there theories regarding sexual orientation formation.

The "tent peg" interview is probably bogus; the widely-quoted-and-distributed excerpt is the only fragment of the "interview" that exists, and no one has come forward with the name of the interviewer, the full interview, where it was originally published, or any confirmation from McCaffrey or her people that she ever did it. As far as I can tell.

	Good to know. Now I don't need to lump her in with Terry Goodkind and Orson Scott Card among my list of "sci-fi and fantasy authors with disappointing personal beliefs." (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	It's ify, but I know one person who has had a similar experience some what... Just because action a happens, doesn't mean b is the result. Some times a and b are independent.

	Very true. But Quislet, Esq. was quoting somebody from the Sean Hannity boards. He wasn't making a connection between childhood abuse and "becoming" GLBT later in life. The person he was arguing with on those boards made the connection. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)
