@Super_SoldierXII: I don't understand why straight people like you, especially men, think you are so privileged that everything in the world should be catered to your own desires and dislikes. God forbid you have to see something that falls outside your narrow comfort zone (in this case a comic you aren't being forced to buy), you have to make demands, it makes you uncomfortable therefore it shouldn't exist. I'm not real fond of the dumb, cliched, and corny macho heterosexuality that is found in almost every form of fictional media, but I don't go around saying it shouldn't exist because of my own feelings towards it.
Maybe this can be a wake up call for you to realize the world does not revolve around you.
First, I've already stated I won't be buying the book while the Jean-Paul love story arc is center stage. I'm not even stating it's not OK to have the onus on this for now. Marvel just needs to realize that the majority of its readers are heterosexual men, men who don't really dig full spread illustrated pages of two men engaged in a tongue war. That's all. You just don't like the fact that I dare exercise my right to be honest about it and express my very valid opinion, daring to expose what many men are thinking but too wary to say because sensitive chaps like yourself are going to pretend to take the moral high ground by taking exception and playing victim.
After all, the majority victimize all minorities and need to demonstrate an adequate amount of remorse by keeping their mouths shut right? Even if their opinion or likes and dislikes are equally valid right? Wrong.
Listen, homosexuality falls outside of the norm. If it were the norm, this world would cease to procreate. I'm not trying to tout it as taboo or 'bad' in anyway. It's just not the norm. Being 'gay' is a lifestyle that chooses you in most cases. If you're gay, great. I hope you feel good about yourself and secure enough in your love life to not need approval at every turn. Stop trying to force feed it as the norm by demanding to see it mainstreamed everywhere we turn as though it's the most natural thing on earth for two men to be seen doing the horizontal tango. I refuse to have to play mister "politically correct", choke on my own distaste at the visual portrayal in a mainstream X-Book is all.
It's extremely unappealing for straight dudes. But you know what? I don't have to like it, to accept it. I do have to like it to actually want to pay to read about it and look at all the spreads of the two sucking face.
And consequently, you as a minority (if you're gay), somehow feel it's OK to denigrate the majority (see comment in bold) but god help us if we express even a mild distaste for a given minorities goings ons. If I had expressed myself as bluntly as you did in your comment in bold, the gay community would be frothing at the mouth. But you're allowed. We are not. Gotcha.
