Why are there little to no LGBT superheroes in mainstream comics?

Why are there little to no LGBT superheroes in mainstream comics?

OP confirmed for not reading comics, especially these days. Where the fuck have you been? Obviously not here.

READ COMICS!

YOU FUCKING CASUAL!

So tell me where are the lesbian superheroes?
Where are the bisexual superheroes?
The transgender superheroes?

The representation is completely invisible.

Because things only become mainstream if people like them.

Wonder Woman is right there in your pic OP.

Not OP but do you know how hard it is for LGBT+ to get into comics?

>Wonder Woman
>LGBT
>her love interest is a man
Wow, awesome representation.

Wonder Woman is bisexual . Just because she's with a guy doesn't mean she's straight .

I know what you mean, I'm gay and my constant lust for dick makes it really hard to concentrate on reading.

Did you just assume her gender?

If a character is written well, being gay or whatever shouldn't be their entire character

...

Batwoman
Hercules
Mantra

Oh but it's okay when a straight person's only trait is being straight.

give an example of any character who's only character trait is their straight, good fucking luck

Batwoman is a lesbian.

Bunker and Aqualad in the Teen Titans are Gay.

Meanwhile on the Marvel Side:

Karolina from the Runaways and America Chavez are lesbians

Max Modell from Spider-Man and Iceman from X-Men are Gay, Hercules is Bisexual

Also Wonder Woman is an Asexual Biromantic

They're there, with plenty of comics running RIGHT NOW that you can support. Go buy 'em.

Mantra never identified as trans and Hercules was back to being straight.

Plus, when was the last time you saw Batwoman in anything?

Less than 1% of people are fags

>Plus, when was the last time you saw Batwoman in anything?
In her own comic you flying autist

She just got a new series! I hear its pretty good desu

This thread is retarded. Read the Authority fag. Midnighter is the shit.

And? There's less white people in the world altogether but you still see them in movies and comics.

>little to no LGBT
LITTLE TO NO

there's a bigger percentage of LGBT superheroes in mainstream comics than the percentage in real life

OP should be wondering where the pedo and sexual offender's are in comics, they are massively underrepresented

>Plus, when was the last time you saw Batwoman in anything?
Her currently ongoing comic

>Batwoman
>Miss America
>Constantine
>Deadpool
>Hulkling
>Hercules
>Flatman
>Iceman
>Wiccan
>Wonder woman
>Mystique
>Miss America
Just to name a few

>Midnighter
>a violent anti hero
>good representation of gays
What?

James Bond?

Nice bi erasure shitlord

The new Ant-Man is gay
Vision's daughter is on the verge of becoming gay
Hulkling and Wiccan
Natasha Irons and Tracy 13 are lesbian lovers
Harley and Ivy

the gay rights movement started in earnest with a riot

maybe you've heard of it

Johnny Bravo

Are you implying gays aren't allowed to be violent? What do you mean by representation? Do you want a comic about what a gay couple eats every night or some boring ass shit?

White people are the majority population in Western Civilization

Logically they'd be the majority of characters

Do you bitch about Bollywood movies having mostly Indians?

>JB
I'm seeing a trend

>Superman
>Batman
>Spider-Man
>Green Lantern
>Aquaman
>Iron Man
>Captain America
>Wolverine

>Breaking the stereotype that gays are limp wristed bitches
>Defining character trait is being a sadistic fuck (albeit a very heroic one) not being a homo, while still being unabashed about being gay both from a narrative and character perspective
Yes?

put back your trip you fucking faggot.

most of these characters only have sexuality at all as an occasional prop, at best

Those couple of days when there's a HAPPENING on Sup Forums and all Sup Forums niggers spend their time solely there instead of venturing to their other boards is really nice.

>Hollywood
>Having Indian actors
Good one

He's not a stereotype which makes him a good gay character.

Seeing shit like this makes me realize everyone here is dumb for replying to this bait thread.

>tfw just had a civil and reasonable discussion about CVille on Sup Forums
>janitors just autosaged the thread and didn't even ban anyone
you can really feel the difference

I'm reminded of that one show where the chick rejects a black dude cuz he's a fucking insecure prick but he turns it into a racial thing. Then another black character points out how silly he is.

>"What? Black folks can't just be assholes sometimes?"

The Ray is getting a cartoon soon and he's gay.

Apollo and Midnighter are the best characters and they're gay. What else do you want?

...

So basically, you want a gay character that acts straight.

I have never disliked a character more than I do Midnighter.

C'mon man, if you're gonna shitpost you gotta subtler than THAT.

Midnighter is still pretty unapologetically and blatantly gay

he's just not a stereotype

>acts straight
>implying if you are straight you act a certain way

Check your privelege fag.

There's no much thing as acting straight or acting what ever.

This.
How do we fix Midnighter?

I didn't know that stereotyping gays was acceptable again. How does a gay person act?

There is no such thing as acting gay or straight you fucking retard. Also Midnighter is so gay he goes to Russia to intentionally be harassed and fight homophobes

moreover, how does one act straight?

no wait, I actually just realized the answer: like a frat bro.

any particular reason lads?

Poor representation of gays.
They probably show him abusing his boyfriend.

>probably
so you don't know anything and are just making assumptions

he's the one who gets abused

I thought frat bros were just obnoxious drunks? Whereas stereotypical straights are just sleazy perverts trying to fuck anything that moves.

How come no one has brought up how there's no nonbinary/genderfluid characters in comics?

Non-binary people need representation too.

But Johnny Bravo loves nacho's more than he loves women. Shouldn't that mean his only character trait is being hungry?

>poor representation
>they probably show him
>probably

Kek are you really fucking complaining about a character you haven't even read? You are what is wrong with society.

take a moment and ask yourself if there's really an effective difference

>Who is Rebis

Shining Knight Rebirth W H E N

there's also Loki

A friend who is a big fan of the authority tried to get me into it and had me read a page where he goes into his whole spiel about his computer brain and I just took an instant dislike to him.

The most popular Marvel characters are gay, what do you mean?

There are.

Cause that doesn't exist user
Anyone who thinks it does has alot off personal issues

he does like to talk about his computer brain, doesn't he

>He can't tell the difference between Bollywood and Hollywood

Idiot

He's definitely a ham, but since you've only read one page, and "never have disliked a character more" you're a fucking casual who's opinion is worth less than monkey shit

who the FUCK is this and why am I getting mad at it

If you're looking for the real reason OP; it basically boils down to homophobia/transphobia.

The comic industry is under the impression that only cis straight people read comics and keep using this delusion as an excuse for erasure, when in fact, comics have the largest LGBTQIA+ fanbases in the world.

And with you know who in charge of America, these claims by the comics industry will be emboldened.

user drunks can be obnoxious in a lot of different ways.

Loki has been a man, a woman, a child version of himself and a female deer. AND he's a popular character with mainstream appeal and multiple comics under his belt.

Kek more than 2% of comic characters are gay so there is already over representation.

I'm thoroughly confused. Is this an official character or fanart Bleedingcool mistook as being one?

Why aren't their more trans-galactic queer characters?

But has she EVER been in a relationship with a female or just implied she did but never actually saying it?

She fucked a ton of chicks on paradise island

And yet, he's played by cis straight men in every adaption he's been in.

Where is your proof?

yes, Rucka's Year One confirmed it

what the fuck is that

Bro if only gay ppl played gay ppl and if only straight people could play straight people a lot of actors would be out of work.

Step 1. Buy comic book
Step 2. Read it
Isn't too complicated/

He's a Trickster God. He's not gonna show his hand that easily. Not to mention he's never shown much interest in women in the comics, merely pawns for him to control.

Y'know, I find both scenarios just as likely.

I wouldn't be surprised if he does a bit of gender-bending in Ragnarok

I don't have the fucking pages saved, I just actually read some of Rucka's run rather than your dumb ass who just complains about representation, without actually even reading anything, negating the point of representation. Oh and you're likely cishet, so you don't actually need representation.

What's the point if you can't relate to any of the characters?

I'm pretty sure user is saying he wants FemLoki in the movies and I agree

Hiddleston is closeted though.

OP confirmed for reading less comics than Sup Forums does

>that
Did you just assume xir's personhood status?

Xiq is a genderless alien
