“I’ll address the haters for a bit: So “Ms. Marvel” won’t feature a protagonist that looks like you. This is not a bad thing. It’s not like they’re taking away one of the white male books to make room for “Ms. Marvel”; Marvel didn’t say, “We were going to keep ‘Daredevil’ going but ‘Ms. Marvel’s’ taking his spot!” This book is not affecting your comic book buying habits at all. The only way it will is if you buy it, which — maybe you should. This anger you’re showing, hater, shows a fundamental lack of empathy and understanding for people that don’t look like you. Isn’t it crazy how comic books can bring this out of people? Yeah, it’s true! Us white dudes find it super hard to understand the importance of having heroes that look like you or come where you come from because there are thousands of white male protagonists in all of fiction. Muslim readers now get one leading character in all of comicdom; chill out and be excited.”
