I'd like to start off by saying this is not meant to offend anyone I'm simply looking for opinions.
I myself am a traditionalist.
I do not know the best way to say this but the idea of gay super heroes annoys me. I heard that the new green latern is gay and reference to the flash being gay as well then there is also blue birds brother it seems to be becoming more and more frequent, Does this bother anyone or is that okay?
Allow me to explain whatever is done in the privacy of ones home is not my business. Its our right to be associated with what we choose to do or not do. But with the recent gay movements and laws allowing same sex marriage over the past few years its becoming more and more popular. Which is fine. What I don't understand is why it has to be pushed on those who don't believe in it. I do not have straight pride parades and festivals I do not push my thoughts on others why then should they be pushed on me.
I do not believe in it so why should I see it in my comics when for years our super heroes have been a model for a mans man or for the strong courages women. The same sex stuff tends to cause the heroes to lose some of that greatness they once had. That model of being the traditional male or female. Especially in comics that are read by many kids and teenagers helping them to influence their decisions rather than when they are older and able to make a more conscious decision not just the popular decision.
Again not looking to offend just wondering opinions of this pattern that's becoming more and more frequent. Be reasonable I'm not trying to bash bit have an actual discussion.
Second issue involves the increase of violence and blood in our comics and related media. I just watched a batman rip off a tale of a bad guy with blood all over. It seems much more violent now when I was younger he would beat up a bad guy leave em bruised and have em arrested it never had so much blood and death before. What are the thoughts of this new trend as well?
Again I'm looking for a reasonable discussion not an argument or bash.
Hopefully I don't like a complete fool maybe I am just out of date.
