Because of the effective censorship and media bias that occurs there are still almost no LGBTQ superheroes. Certainly no trans ones.

I don't get to have that in the first place? The comics code did so much damage. Imagine if we actually had gotten bisexual Storm & Wolverine like Claremont wanted. But we never did. Even after the code stopped existing, people still didn't want to rock the boat with too many queer characters.

I find most people who complain about SJWs tend to be somewhat "Libertarian" identified(as in right wing libertarian, not Noam Chomsky style) and probably American, and they don't really understand how privilege works or that there are other ways to fuck things over other than outright banning something or holding a gun to someone's head. Negative vs. positive liberty, punch up vs. punch down, these are very important concepts to understand and most people just don't.

Also conservatives, not liberals(I'm not a liberal, i'm more of a left libertarian but i'm going to assume everyone here equates SJW with liberal), are more likely to ACTUALLY get things banned. Look at a banned book list sometime.
