How is it not obvious? Just like what happened with Thanos, DC started a character, Marvel made a knock-off that grew into a unique and popular character different from the original, and DC creates a knock-off of that knock-off. It's like incest

Why are Apollo and Midnighter black now?

Because having them be white and male, but also gay, causes too much cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance is a feeling of discomfort caused by going against a belief you have of yourself.

Like lying when you consider an honest person.

It can be handled a few ways.

1. Change the situation, e.g., tell the truth.

2. Change your mentality, e.g., tell yourself it wasn't really a lie.

3. Change your attitude, e.g., tell yourself it was a necessary lie, or not that important a lie.

Which part are you referring to that would cause the cognitive dissonance ?

Wikipedia:
"Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values...".

Irishmen do not experience any discomfort from being drunk. If anything it's their most natual state.

Maybe they have a movie coming out and this is writer's preemptive strike?

You are russian, you should feel living is a discomfort ahah

It's too cold in Siberia to feel anything.

It was a joke about the writers not being able to reconcile their own crap... I didn't think it was going to lead to all this...

White people hate gays [because they vote for Trump]. Also, white people can't be oppressed.

Having a character white and gay, means that he's privileged and oppressed at the same time.

I wanted to ask this but I thought I must have missed something important that everyone else knew about...

It's not enough that they're openly gay, they also have to be black. Simply being gay isn't enough anymore. Wonder when Iceman is getting corrected?

These days, every popular straight white male character has a ca. 10% chance each year to randomly become either black, female, or gay. Or, at least, gain a doppelganger with these characteristics. Several transformations can take place at once, e.g. a white male might turn into a black female.

However, if one is already black, female, or gay, the chances to experience additional SJ corrections are drastically reduced. A popular straight white female character might only have a 1% chance / year to turn black. And a popular straight black female character only has a 0.1% chance to turn gay. Furthermore, transformations in the reverse direction do not occur (0% chance) in MU or DCU.

One of my favorite memes:

That is legit hysterical. 👆

He's not wrong, though that seems like a race thing as much as a gendered thing.
