@silentchief: lol. I do not support the game, I don't support pandering nor am I mad about it. I don't particularly like that character design, but if it makes a certain group of people feel included, I can live with it existing. This thread reads like "look, now they went and made Mr Freeze an ugly woman". That's wrong, innit?
So destroying characters is worth it as long as an extremely small demographic feels included? 🤣
No it isn't wrong. For all intensive purposes that's their version of Mr. Freeze. Who gives a shit what convoluted bullshit reason they came up with to make it a butch lesbo. " Buh buh it's his daughter from an alternate dimension so it's ok" 🤣
I am not very into the lore. I didn't even know he had a daughter called Victoria.
What character have they destroyed here though? If that isn't Mr Freeze? Can they not still add Mr Freeze later? Would we be equally mad at them for destroying Batman by adding Batgirl in some game? Honestly don't get what we're mad about.
Ultimately that's sort of the whole point: it doesn't matter. They can go"Oh this is on Earth-243 where Mr Freeze is actually Mrs. Freeze" and the one we are familiar with is on, idunno, Earth 1. Or whatever, some shit like that lol.
I'm not an avid comic book reader by any means but I do enjoy looking up the lore and stuff and while I do find this specific redesign alienating, it's not exactly the first time (not by a longshot) anyone has done anything like this.
In other words, they can "destroy" a character because there's an entire multiverse of them to destroy. They can, have, and will destroy them. And bring them back. That's part of the beauty of comics!
Losing your mind over it, if you are a fan of comics, sort of indicates you're not really in touch with the idea of them. Losing your mind over this because you think it's a woke agenda indicates you don't really know WTF you're talking about because there's a few decades of comic book lore with all kinds of stuff like this to get you upset about lol.
It's all just petty bullshit at the end of the day and in the end you need to tell yourself to move on. You know why? Because in a week you will have moved on.
The only reason I dislike things like this is because it gives the alt-right ammo to fight their bullshit culture war that doesn't exist anywhere but in their own heads.
*the "royal you", to be clear. I don't mean you specifically lol. Just to be clear.
