I learned to read beyond a first grade level
Are you sure about that?
Yep. All kinds of articles hailing the black/Hispanic/homosexual Spidey. They killed-off Peter Parker, too.
I never had the chance to exercise my prodigious second grade skills, as I made a point of making no effort to find this new series they were touting.
Seems it might have been a trial balloon pandering to the homo-militant predators who target the sexuality and sense of self of children and confused teens, or an opportunity to once again VICIOUSLY demonize anyone who would DARE have the slightest question about the way the media attacks perceptions to destroy normal and natural human existence. My guess would be it started as a pandering trial balloon, and when the criticism started they highlighted the worst of it in their attacks.
It’s outrageous to think we should just leave the established perceptions alone, help rather than destroy the efforts of children and teens to reach adulthood with a healthy and natural sense of self intact, and just create special content for the adults who must have that sort of thing.
