When Outsiders first aired on DC’s defunct streaming service, from what I saw, a significant portion of the fandom did not like Halo as Muslim representation, non binary representation, or as a character in general. I’m not sure how much of this you saw at the time since from what I remember, ask Greg was closed for a long time and the viewership was smaller than on HBO Max. I think the people who felt most strongly against it simply stopped watching and interacting in online spaces. And that’s why you don’t see as much criticism about it. Though from what I’ve seen, the opinion does persist in certain parts of the fandom, but people love the show so much they look past it. The fact that MPAC is so supportive of Halo goes to show that they *are* out of touch with a significant number of fans. I don’t know much about them, but perhaps they’re not as familiar with issues in comic books compared to film media? Maybe they didn’t see the backlash since it was restricted to certain places like Tumblr, Reddit, and YouTube? I don’t know, but the fact is that there is a good amount of people who disagree with them, not just one or two, and they seemingly missed it and didn’t warn you. Same goes for Halo as non binary representation, you seemed caught off guard that some people didn’t like it, so maybe you need to diversify your sources. Saying that is not “insulting” the people who work at these places. I am entitled to my own opinion and my whole point was, YOU do not have the right to tell me that I’m wrong to feel the way I do because someone who works at MPAC or GLAAD feels differently. People disagree about whether characters are good or bad representation all the time, just because one person likes it does not mean everyone will. Ideally, you’d be open to multiple sources of feedback instead of one. But you do not have to listen to me or anyone else, I would just like if you would stop using these institutions to shoot down anyone else who has a different opinion. My whole point was, stop responding like that and just let people feel the way they feel, let people have debates and critically analyze the media they consume freely, stop getting so defensive. I literally never said I had a problem with Khalid using magic, I never told you that you can’t create diverse characters as a white man - I said you as a white man don’t have the right to tell someone else that their opinion is wrong because you don’t know where they’re coming from, I never expressed a desire to “drive you off Twitter.” I actually used to think young justice had some of the best diversity, I just think you missed the mark with Halo. The ramble you posted had nothing to do with what I was trying to say, you falsely assumed I was only referring to Khalid (I don’t feel strongly about him one way or another, but he at least was an improvement). Maybe I could’ve been clearer, but maybe you also shouldn’t have made such a big assumption and responded while you were angry.
Bye Greg.
