hmmmm
I think ideally more diversity in comics is gonna mean more diverse creators. I feel like it’s real important to make a distinction between fictional characters and real life humans who make the comics. People who are coming from different backgrounds are going to be putting that authenticity of lived experience into their work–and that can only make the comic shelves more interesting.
The pandering stuff is whatever. Maybe it’s worth it for readers coming from different backgrounds to have more options to relate to even if some of it might just be surface.
