I, WOULD, be happy, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the only reason they chose him over Ray was fill their DIVERSITY! quota of Asian characters.
Because, to DC, DIVERSITY! is not about creating role models, or more accurately reflecting our modern society, or creating strong, developed characters that aren't confined by the moralities of the Silver Age. No, to DC, Diversity is about tokenism, and quotas, and pretending to be progressive so you can get press.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
