      If I were a cynical guy, I'd say that the inevitable controversy is a part of their marketing strategy. The comic comes out (no pun intended) in November, so they probably have a whole month of PR shit mapped out.

        On the one hand yeah, it's a cynical move because "the market is right for it" but on the other like the article said it's good for people to be able to see themselves represented in popular media and the chud meltdowns are going to be amazing over this.

      They announce anything and everything to try and get attention for their books

      Lest we forget the steaming shit show that was the new New Warriors (2021) and their belief that we would be excited over characters that were named Snowflake and Safespace

      Well, maybe, but wouldn't that seem a bit disingenuous? Maybe they could write a good story arc to do it, but to just make the flagship character suddenly declare LGBT+ status would be a little weird

    lol, announcing it ahead of time like some kind of chud content warning. Really gotta get that free advertising, I guess.
