There's certainly good and bad ways to incorporate more diversity into comic books, but I think characters like Kamala Khan and Miles Morales are the absolute best examples of implementing more diversity into comic books. They're genuinely well-written, fun characters that don't take anything away from the characters whose mantles they borrow.

I like that there's a teenage version of Spidey that coexists with the more mature Peter Parker as his big bro/mentor while still being his own person, and I like that he's a black/hispanic character. I showed my 10-year old sister that there's a young, female, muslim superhero running around in the comics that's not only an Avenger, but also insanely popular with readers and she absolutely loved it, and that's ultimately what matters.

As long as it's not harming anybody, I don't see the problem.

I am a full fledged capitalist who made his fortune because of it. I find it insane that ALL these companies at the same time, ALL started to attack their fans. It's the most bat-sh!t insane thing that I have ever seen. Capitalism is pandering to your fans...because everything else always inevitably fails.

Seeing my once beloved Marvel Comics pander and then attack their fans is very disturbing. I theorize(based on observations) what happened was, people started being hired for their race and gender. Some of the ventures I had in media, companies would NEVER hire the best. They went after the people who filled a quota. These people inevitably ended up in human resources, as companies realized they were terrible at the "STEM" areas, and started hiring people who were like them. Scary part is, the people with the lower IQ's in any field, all seem to form clicks and groups, and that is how they keep their power.

This started around 2008-10 and by 2012, it was nutty people infiltrating organizations and hiring people not based on merit, but for ideology or some mandated quota by the government.

This is what has happened to comics sadly and it just doesn't sell. I have no idea how companies can pass up money. You don't get wealthy without capitalism. Capitalism is the greatest concept ever.
