All I'm saying is that a character's race, gender, or orientation should not be altered, period. What happened in our history was terrible, but that doesn't mean we should alter any of these characters just to fit some diversity quota to put it bluntly. It's lazy. I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, Batwoman was an obscure enough character that DC could make her a lesbian, but in Nick Fury's case, they first introduced him in the Ultimate line to resemble Samuel L. Jackson, and then later on incorporated him in the mainstream, and even then he was introduced as the son of the original Nick Fury, which actually fits with what I'm talking about. No character should be altered just so a comic book company can claim to be more diverse when in reality it's the cheapest kind of diversity: taking a character that already exists and change one detail about the character and boom! Diverse. There are always exceptions. But in general, it is not the right thing to do, in my opinion anyway. Also we're getting way off-topic. lolThe main reason so many characters from the 60s and 70s were white guys is because they were created by white guys who had no real desire or ability to represent the experiences of any other characters.
Seems strange to stick to limit future media to the restrictions of 50+ years ago.
Nick Fury can’t be black because some white guys in the 60s created him to be white? That doesn’t make sense. These are fictional characters.
