I wish I didn't
YES LMAO what a time to be alive. Imagine doing gay representation in the 50s by naming a superhero Queero.
To be fair it was so influential it sparked a really awesome movement.
Reminds me of this banger I posted to /r/transgendercirclejerk when this first popped up
Marvel introduces new superhero to appeal to lgbt readers called “f*ggot”. they don’t have any superpowers their just queer or whatever. Give us money
Be sure to tune in to the adventures of Soyboy and Betacuck
How lib twitter poisoned must your brain be to think this'd be a good idea

they tried to launch this the week after the COVID shutdown started
Screentime - A Meme-Obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather’s “experimental internet gas.”
Wow
whomst've among us has not gone on a whippet-fueled posting binge
So... If there is internet gas, that implies that there is internet liquid and internet solid.
Getting a nice cool cup of internet.
Grabbing a solid chunk of hexbear dot net to place on a table, maybe as a decoration.
internet gas, that implies that there is internet liquid and internet solid
Digital, the fourth state of matter
The internet is a series of tubes and the thing moving around these tubes is internet gas.
Probably a good thing for aspiring LGBT+ artists when the first thing publishers think of for a good transgender superhero are two characters named Snowflake & Safespace rather than fully developed heroes (who happen to be trans). Probably.
There is no such thing as a fully developed superhero. This stuff is design-by-committee products aimed at children, not supposed to have complicated themes and ideas.
this is definitely made by a chud who rammed this through approval as fast as possible before anyone who cared enough noticed.
that or the company was being lazy and trying to cash in on "the whole woke thing" without any real understanding of how it worked
I just think corporate environments are more prone to greedy and apathetic than open maliciousness mainly because of how draining they are
Safespace [...] can create forcefields, but he can only trigger them if he's protecting somebody else.
They had to know there's no way they didn't know.
The writer who was in charge of the project used to write for Colbert and Clickhole
I don't get much Chud off him, but it's entirely possible that Marvel's new Editor-in-chief (the guy who used to pretend to be Japanese) is responsible for the attempt
the guy who used to pretend to be Japanese
Just read about this on the wiki, what the actual fuck
This is official? I was convinced it was some onion shit. :bordiga-despair:
https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/introducing-the-new-new-warriors The names and concepts are so bad and "They’re hyper aware of modern culture and optics, and they see their Super Heroics as “a post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying.” They're probably streaming this." What?
:bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:
If this was a parody, people would say it's too over the top
Marvel was gonna reboot the New Warriors (basically their version of the Teen Titans) with heroes like Snowflake, Safespace, Screentime, B-Negative (he's a vampire) and Dora The Explorer (not the actual one, but an amazing simulation)
how did this get far enough in production for the public to know about this lmao
They did a press release!
They actually thought people were going to like it!
That or try a "Buy it to piss off the Chuds" campaign
He did have a brain that was connected to the Internet because he was sprayed with Experimental Internet Gas
Experimental Internet Gas
That sounds like something from an irony poisoned, deep fried meme
Freakazoid would probably be a villain now
Given computer nerds prevalence towards evil
