Since I get nerdy stuff across my feed still (what I haven't blocked) I came across one of the many "your hobby has always been woke/political" articles that make that argument and it was mainly praising the race/gender swaps in upcoming comic book movies and talking about how excited she was for America Chavez.
I tried to ignore it, but couldn't resist leaving a comment asking if all these books/comic books were always woke then why do they need to be "updated for a modern audience" (which is a phrase I have learned to hate). Also I asked if any of these people actually read comic books because America Chavez was not a successful character but I remember hearing they wanted her to be the next Spider-Man popularity wise.
The only response I got was something accusing me of gatekeeping and I was mad that straight white males are losing the spotlight. I simply responded with my same question if they actually read comic books to begin with
the only people that complain about gatekeeping are those the gates are meant to keep out.
Yep. I’ll never understand those people who get into hobbies and then complain about it and want to change everything They are the first people who whine about gatekeeping
