HDU ISLAMOPHOBE

I feel like we have one try-hard troll that is a flat zero out of ten every damn time she tries. Someone should take her under their wing. Apprentice her. Teach her the ways.

[(Anonymous)]

OK, but do you also want every comic about a Christian superhero to deal with the homophobia and anti-Semitism in the Christian community?

Because that'd be a heck of a lot of comics.

[ill_omened]

It's not the same, but to speak for OP, probably?

This is the most boring complaint. 'But what about all the other things I have no idea if you complain about, what about them??'.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, maybe we can have a comic about a superhero living in a Christian country where being gay gets you stoned or beaten...oh wait...

[(Anonymous)]

The X-Men have dealt with Christian prejudice a lot, especially Nightcrawler and Wolfsbane.

[(Anonymous)]

lol lbr no way it's going to even be remotely critical about the problematic elements of Islamic faith. People just prefer to put their fingers in their ears and pretend they don't exist while lashing out at other religions for the same exact problems.

[(Anonymous)]

How many openly Christian superheroes are there? Besides Daredevil.

[(Anonymous)]

Please, any Christian character in pop culture today is automatically a caricature of a bible thumper.

[feotakahari]

If your story deeply digs into a particular culture or a particular time, rather than just using it as a jumping-off point or a background, I think you have some obligation to show the bad as well as the good. It sounds like this comic will discuss conservative Islam in detail, so it would be a bit one-sided if it was only positive (or only negative, for that matter.)

[ill_omened]

tfw any criticism of a culture or religion, even the suggestion that not all cultures are the same makes you a racist.

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure what you're driving at here, but let's be honest, OP does sound a little racist. Secret kind of smacks of a "I hope this comic really sticks it to those underdeveloped evil towel-heads" kinda vibe

[(Anonymous)]

If it was up to my preference, it would be completely apolitical, and just be a combination of fun adventure and personal growth. I think it could be cool if they made it political, but it would also increase the risk of them fucking it up tenfold. And I just really, really, really don't want them to fuck it up. What I want, more than anything else, is for it to be good.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it would be a tough balance. Those are great issues to explore, but it'd be hard to divert too much without becoming preachy in a superhero story. I really hate stories that have "agendas", but issues can be worked in... it's just tough. If they could pull it off, though, I'd love to read it.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering how triggerhappy the Islamic terrorists are, I doubt they'd go there. I mean, hell, two episodes of South Park were banned recently because they threatened to blow up CC's building, and all they did was have their profit in a damn bear suit saying basically nothing.

[diet_poison]

...prophet?

[(Anonymous)]

i would totally read this. i would even buy the hard copy comic rather than reading scans

[insanenoodlyguy]

[(Anonymous)]

Why is that whore unclothed? She needs a husband to show her discipline.

[(Anonymous)]

No one's interested.

[(Anonymous)]

You tried this yesterday and it wasn't interesting then either. This is like scraping the troll barrel.

[(Anonymous)]

tryhard troll again

I don't know if you forgot where you are or got lost along the way? you need to step up your game - the "I've got fewer brain cells than pubic hairs" persona doesn't really mesh here, you're going to have to step up your game and be a little more clever if you want a reaction

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with you in theory, because homophobia and anti-Semitism are in fact prevalent in the Muslim community. However, in reality I think addressing that in the comic would be a horrible idea. I'm very excited that they're even going to have a Muslim female superhero, and there's so much potential for what they could do with that. While I would like for her to have nuances and flaws, I think trying to take on such systemic biases in the Muslim community would be a mistake. Something like that might be better aimed specifically at a Muslim audience. Let's deal with one type of subversion at a time, shall we?

[(Anonymous)]

if there's anything i learned from growing up in one, it's that asking "why am i supposed to hate non-muslims" is wrong and will result in beatings nearly as quickly as "i don't want to marry a man i've never met who's twice my age and lives in another continent"
