Man that is how you know you have scars from a comic. When you don't trust ANY character with Empathic abilities because of how fucked up the last guy was.
What the f colorist the writing clearly states that one guy "could stand here and stare into your icy blues all night" and then you go and give Iceman brown eyes like a chump
Feels like the standard double-standards. People say they want more non-heterosexual relationships in comics, one appears and then the goalposts immediately get moved a little bit further away. At the same time, you could bet if Iceman had gotten together with a POC, people would be accusing Marvel of tokenism, despite giving people what they asked for.
I think it's a little unfair to compare one individual's concern with intersectional representation with general consensus, especially imagined general consensus.
Besides which, there's been criticism for ages about gay white cis men dominating LGBT+ representation in media. People bemoaning a missed opportunity to introduce a not-straight character of color isn't moving the goalposts so much as noting that a play hasn't cleared the forty-yard line.
I want to get into this and yay for giving ice man a love interest... But I have reservations on Idie ( they really soured me on her during the Phoenix thing... She was pretty much a Pollyanna) and I pretty much loathe anything inhuman save AGENTS IF SHIELD... This Idie seems so much more fun... But such a 180 from before
On one hand I'm glad Iceman is being given a love interest but on the other the fact it is an inhuman just before the upcoming crossover bugs me a bit.
Also probably showing my age but is anyone else getting flashbacks to really bad Iceman/Gambit fanfic from the late 90's with these two.
Because it's an ongoing and permanent part of the character. Reversing it wouldn't help anything, leaving it in allows the character to develop in a new direction.
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.

Date: 2016-09-19 03:42 am (UTC)There's a litanny of reasons not to get into this.
The most recent of which being making Laura/Warren an abusive relationship and not realizing it at all.

As a love interest to an X-men.
Yeah, I have a bad feeling about this. (Plus... emotional manipulator. I totally don't trust any of those since Empath)
