    Americans in the 1980s: "You can't put a black person on your marketing material that's disgusting I hate it I'll never buy your product again!!!"

    Americans in the 2020s: "Put it back! Put it back! Put it back! Whaaaaaaat!"

    Nation of fucking babies.

        I was more thinking about people melting down over Michael Jordan being on the Wheaties box.

        The fact that WB greenlit a second season of Velma while tossing the entire Batgirl movie in the trash tells you everything you need to know about the state of modern streaming media.
