This whole #iceman thing comes outta left field, except to the THOUSANDS of #XMen fans who have been talking about it for the last 20 YEARS!

How u can call yourself an #XMen fan and bitch about a story exploring exclusion and uncertainty through sexuality is absolutely beyond me.

So does that second one mean if a story focusing on exclusion through communism were written next, we shouldn't dare complain about how propaganda is being put on the market and forced into a book whose original visions were against it? As for the part about fans, he sure does love exaggerating, doesn't he? All that took place in the mid-90s when awful writers like him were in charge, and he was practically stoking this kind of mentality. Nevertheless, it was an example of kooks acting like they were smarter than the writers of any era, and LGBT supporters trying to hijack the X-Men, along with much of the MCU. One has to wonder if the same wobbly speculations would take place if a story were published where Iceman befriended a bunch of people with Basque ancestry in northern Spain. The answer is probably no. But if not, why make such a fuss over an orientation that Bobby never began with, was firmly refuted by his love affairs with ladies like Polaris, and which, if it was never declared canon before, the so-called readers Nicieza speaks of shouldn't act as though it were?
Nicieza, like Lobdell, was a major embarrassment during the 1990s with little or nothing in his portfolio worth reading, and his current babble isn't worth the kilobytes it was typed on. He's certainly not worthy to carry on for the past talents of the Silver Age whose work he's tarnishing.
...have you even read a comic book, or at least know the plot of one without needing a quick summary?
