Read the articles and the comments. Isn't these complaints pretty similar to the complaints regarding Riri Williams (Iron heart), that the story written was just trying to shoehorn diversity/social issues without caring for the story, and the fact that the writer himself or herself is not representative of the diversity/social issues he or she is writing for?
I did read the article and the comment. But those who say that these issues shouldn't be addressed only know half the power that comics can have. Look at the great comic books that had something to talk about, Mouse, Watchmen, God Loves Man Kills, etc.
Comics can show diversity and social issues, but the public needs to stop complaining whenever a writer tries to tell a story and be patient until the end.
Yes, the story is an important part in comics but if the writer wants to attack a social issue then let him do it.
The topic of transgender has been done in the past, by DC in fact, but if Marvel wants to give it a shot from another angle then let them do it.
I was against some of the things that Marvel did, namely making Thor unworthy, and I know what they were trying to do. But I also like what they did with Kamilla Khan, Miles Morales, and their recent run with Iron Heart.
These are the right moves, and I still say that those who are now complaining need to stop and follow the story to the end.
And I assure if the character was indeed trans, then no one will leave Marvel and the outrage will be a hundred times more because they misinterpret the story and say "Marvel promotes trans viollence".
People need to stay calm and see the story through.
