Another day, another comic character became a member of the LGBT community again. Now, it turns out that Batman’s partner “Robin” is bisexual. More precisely, the third iteration of Robin Tim Drake (Tim Drake) has now appeared. He likes both boys and girls, which makes him fall into the growing number of LGBT roles in DC.
If you are celebrating this awesome acquisition in the LGBT community, then I will hold on to your horse, because this is not true respect for your community. This is the so-called “cater”, and its purpose is to make you like something more so that you can buy the product.
Catering is a very useful tool that is mainly used by politicians to try to get you to use accents based on where they go to get you to vote for them, or tell your region before you vote for them and they are in this country The pillar completely forgets you. Companies are also big caters, and they will publish commercials talking about how they understand you, which is why they make products that you should buy in bulk.
Comedian Bo Burnham showed a surprising side in one of his comedy shows, telling how country music caters to the audience in such an exquisite way that their country has become the standard.
Language warning.
Although the author of the comic may have a heartfelt moment in writing bisexuality into Drake’s storyline, the brass of DC Comics is happy to do so, so that they don’t become a target against this and that, so More people will buy their comics. They want you to think that they are also awake and willing to reshape the character into whatever they need so that you can buy whatever they are trying to sell you.
Do they really care about you? Of course, but especially they care about how much money you can pay in your account.
For example, they know that if they create a new character that includes all the fixed elements of LGBT, the character is likely to be ignored. As far as news reports are concerned, it will not really play a role in promoting, and may not sell a lot of quantities.
Turn an already popular character into LGBT and you will have an easy payday. It will print headlines for free publicity, and you will let people buy comics to show support for the LGBT cause, or buy comics so that you can comment and comment on them for your own attention. Either way, DC will honor it.
This is really the bottom line here. Does Tim Drake being bisexual make others more in awe of the LGBT community? maybe not. DC may see sales growth immediately, but not long-term growth. To be honest, since most parts of the world are not in the LGBT community, there will be far fewer people involved in the role. This is not important. Comic book sales have been declining, so it is easier to transform Drake into bisexuality.
At this point, they are squeezing money from the Batman series, just like you are trying to take the last bite of toothpaste out of the tube.
After all, this is about money, not about representation. DC Comics is chasing cash, and you, the LGBT community, are the goal. Maybe you don’t mind being used, but I will.
