I wouldn't go as far as 50 years back, as the ignorance is still further spread than many people think, but reading this entitled BS comment from laflare made me think of the time when Northstar finally came out in the X-Men books and there was a shitload of people in the letter column complaining.
About the fact that there was a gay character in a comic, even though he didn't do anything actually in any way sexual.
And a few years later, what was probably the same posse got their panties in a twist over Midnighter and Apollo actually kissing in The Authority.
I wonder when shit like this actually stops in the nerd community, just look at how many people give Bioware grief, not over the actual problems their games have now, but because of their "SJW-Agenda" because they dare to have TG characters as small NPCs and dare to depict same-sex romances.
It's really weird to see how often it pops up here on f95zone, whether it's people actually claiming that what turns you on in a game is the same as in RL, which makes many of us rapists, motherfuckers and whatnot, I guess or totally flipping over TG or gay characters even if nothing has to happen with them at all.
