Earlier today, SJWs on Twitter managed to get their demands for a gay Captain America to trend.
Here's an article:
[snip...]
The thing about these "let's make this super hero gay" campaigns is that 99.99 percent of everyone calling for it doesn't actually read or watch Super Hero stuff anyway. We're talking about the most neurotic people on Earth who are literally offended by everything. These are the people I met at university who would randomly tell me that they wished their own parents would die. These people merely keep pushing and pushing their bizarre agenda to the point that they manage to convince major companies that they actually represent some kind of mainstream consensus. Then that company, utterly deceived, panders to these people only to see their sales plummet. The social justice warriors don't care since they don't read comic books anyway. They read Mother Jones and complain about their therapists. (I'm not joking. I've met a large number of them.)
There are dozens of gay super heroes already, it's just that none of them are very good or as popular as the "white cisgender males" like Superman or Batman. Well, Superman reads like Super-Obama lately--which doesn't seem to be very well received-- but they're planning to kill him and replace him with the classic Superman version anyway. (In the DC universe, classic and "modern" Superman are two distinct individuals.) The obvious reason: sales are awful.
Let's face it. Teenage boys--which is what these comic books are geared to-- don't want to read about a gay Captain America or a social justice Superman, no matter how much the cultural Marxists shove this material down their throat. That's why sales of both DC and Marvel Comics have been plummeting, while their relatively unmolested (by social justice ideology) films are the only things making substantial money now.
The only positive thing to take away from this is that the in-your-face agenda pushing has served to only drive away the viewing public. Perhaps we've reached a point of saturation where all the old methods of social subversion, which have successfully made gay marriage an acceptable thing for half the country, are now starting to backfire like never before. Only time will tell for sure.
Why not just call him captain Sodom?
Anything they touch turns to sh##
Yeah, maybe Captain America at the Avengers HQ can demand a transgender bathroom. But Iron Man becomes a right wing bigot and this starts the next movie: Captain America: Civil War 2.
No more butt pirates!!!

I thought you are born a certain way, and you can’t change?
The “truth, justice, all that stuff” Perry White line in Superman Returns was completely consistant with White and the development of the character going back decades. It’s exactly the sort of cynical comment hard bitten street reporter now editor White would say.
In analyzing and critiquing things like this we need to take care not to go overboard on what are non-issues. Taking them out of the larger context because superficially and only at face value they appear to support our point. That Perry White line is a great example of just such a non-issue.
Then I guess I remembered the whole thing wrong. Movies aren’t my thing.
The ironic thing is that would actually make sense -- what else would you expect from a society of women with no men?
