Question for those who claim Hudlin is racist

Is being a racist so inconsistent with Doom's character? What leads you to believe he can't possibly be a racist?

Oh, for f*ck sake...

YES. 😐

You take a character that has NEVER been shown to portray an OUNCE of racism in his ENTIRE CAREER as a character, and out of the blue accuse them of being racist?

YES, THAT'S BAD F*CKING WRITING.

I just don't understand why people are saying Doom CAN'T be a racist. Was it stated somewhere where Doom thought killing innocents is okay but being racist isn't?

I understand Doom hasn't been portrayed as racist in the past. But guess what, race wasn't much of an issue in comics as 99% of the characters are white or look white. So obviously Doom can't show racism towards Reed or Sue or most of the people he commonly deals with.

Doom isn't a non-racist because he's morally oposed to it.

Doom isn't a racist because he really couldn't give a flying f*ck whether the people he kills are white, black, or purple.

um, hello, comics used to be 99% white characters (black and other minority characters were rarely used)...assuming Doom is racist, who the hell would he demonstrate his racism on...Reed, nope...Sue...nope...Johnny..nope, you get the idea.

And comics are changing, it used to be more for kids but now it's geared more towards young adults. So many more issues will be tackled in today's comics that weren't explored in the past...sexism, sexuality, racism, global politics...etc.

Execpt we know Hitler was racist because he quite literally wrote a book about why he did it.

and we don't know that Doom isn't a racist

for all we know, Doom could be a sexist, homophobe, etc...

For Christ's sake.

We also don't know that Superman doesn't have a section of his fortress dedicated to Nazism, homophobia, misogyny and the race war he's trying to start.

umm....Superman's whole character is about standing for what's right, and what's good in humanity...being a symbol of justice and hope.

all those things you mentioned would completely clash with Superman's persona and character and what he stands for and would make his entire character not make any sense at all.

For all we know, Spiderman has been suppressing sexual tendencies for years. It used to be a taboo, but not anymore. Now society's ACCEPTING it. So, if he goes and hits on Luke Cage, would you consider it good writing?

If Spiderman never had a girlfriend...you know what, it wouldn't be implausible.

But we know Spiderman has had many girls in his life...so him being gay would you know, KINDA contradict how he was portrayed.

Does making Doom a racist CONTRADICT his character somehow?

He adopted a Latverian kid. Doom is not himself a native Latverian.

My mistake.... old man.

And what was so bad about your life?

If it's not too much to ask, I'd rather not speak of such very personal, very serious things to a complete and utter stranger on a comic book message board.

the Latverian kid was black?

You do know that racism does not equal nationalism right?

Now, if Doom adopted a Wakanda kid, then THAT WOULD demonstrate he ISN'T racist.

how? being a villain means you can't possibly be a racist?

Not every person from Wakanda is black.

. . .

Unless they've had racial purges or explicity restrict immigration.

so substitute black for wakanda in my hypo

Go read a goddamn comic book.

So tell me why it isn't possible for Doom to be a racist.
