After comic-book readers rejected bi-Superman, DC tried again with a gay Green Lantern. The results were the same.

Who the hell has a “super hero” who’s not under 12 years old. Comic books are for children, or immature adults.

You have your opinion but tales about super heroes are probably our oldest stories. Many are thousands of years old, some may even be over ten thousand years old.

When something has that kind of history you might want to think before you disparage it.

Nah, I’ve given it some thought as you suggested, and I still think comic books are childish. Ever see one of those comic conventions where adults run around in super hero costumes? I put super hero enthusiasts in the same class as furries and adult babies who want to be cared for as infants. The people never grew up. I do however respect your right to read them and even role play if thats your thing. It would be interesting to see the opinion of mental health experts on it.

Completely off base champ.

Comic books, conventions and dressing up, not my thing at all. I just understand where all it comes from and you do not.

Chesterton's fence.

And if you think there is any such thing as an actual "mental health expert" any more you are deep in to fantasy.

I don’t care when or where it came from”champ”. It’s bullshit to me even if it’s 100,000 years old.

“They instituted ESG scores (environmental, social, and governance criteria) as a way of seeing if companies were “worthy” to receive the capital they needed to operate.”

Good point.

The WEF, Vanguard, Black Rock, State Street, etc. all push ESG. They are insidious.
