They are the ones who go ape sh@t and then all the money struck, brainwashed idiots out there go out any buy every copy to flip on ebay trying to cash in like its the California gold rush and then the media goes ape sh@t over that again and this cycle feeds itself. For a country that prides its self on its diversity and freedom, we sure don't put our money where our mouth is. Now if they really want to do something uber shocking they should create a female, (lesbian?), muslim or indian hero.

Blah blah blah...you know a group that's being marginalized and targeted by hate right now, not just in the U.S. but globally? Christians, esp. Catholics in Muslim countries.

And yet you hear nothing about this from the mainstream media, nor do you see any heroes or characters in comics, TV, or film who are Catholic or Christian, unless they're being depicted as crazy or evil.

So please, don't try to convince us that the super-leftists over at Marvel and DC are doing anything for anyone other than the current pet victims of the liberal movement. All the while, Catholics and Christians continue to do their thing without demanding acceptance or acknowledgment or a token character in any media.

And as a Catholic myself, I'm writing this simply to point it out.
