Sent message to Taylor & proved he created an environment where you can't even have valid(!) criticism towards him
There's no point in arguing with people that only know Jon cause of bi Superman news. Know his history in comics first!
Signing off a bi Jon fan from his appearance
@floofboyftw@TomTaylorMade 2. Thinking just one kiss is everything you need to do for bi rep is far from the true. He's doing the bare minimum. (you're talking to a bi person himself)
Making Jon do political active could be done, but it's ridiculous he does it after everything that went in Bendis' era
@Only_Franco@TomTaylorMade That's been the whole purpose to have my message out. Taylor created an environment where you can't even respond with valid criticism because everything that's remotely negative to him is blocked. And while you say I'm not genuine, I'm serious on it.

@TomTaylorMade Also please stop hiding yourself as Jon being bi as only reason people hate it. Lots of actual LGBT readers who loved Jon before the coming out doesn't like how you're writing bi rep in your comic run.But Jon being bi is the least issue,we don't like how Jon is written like an OC
@MagicLawnmower @TomTaylorMade Cause Jon Kent is written like it's his first appearance in DCU even though he's been around since 2015. His character is nothing how it was back when he was the true version of him as a kid.
His period of aged-up,imprisonment and torturing even gets ignored like it never happen
@sir_rates@TomTaylorMade Attention should've gone to Tim's in Batman Urban Legends, Jackson's in Aquaman: The Becoming or just the DC Pride Special. Series where writers and artists actually put in the work to do it right
@sir_rates@TomTaylorMade I'm not saying it was or wasn't sold out, I'm saying the reprints *only* happened to include the pride flag. Something Taylor liked to ignore.
Bi Superman is DC's attention maker so they're doing everything to get money from him. Even though it's definitely not handled well.
@lifethatifiend@TomTaylorMade He's writing like it didn't happen so I don't expect him to do it. Someone who does get the whole situation and actually gets how to write old Jon, is still Tomasi in today's Super Sons special.
@lifethatifiend@TomTaylorMade Actually he doesn't really appear to be depressed about it because it's written like it's Jon's first appearance in the DCU, as if his future space travels didn't happen. Which makes his whole aged-up, imprisonment and torturing all for nothing.
@DogSuffragette Agreed, because it's not looking like he's gonna improve it. He rather writes a character that makes headlines (by practically doing nothing) rather than actually caring about him and write a good story and characterization. Some other writers would've done the rep much better
@DogSuffragette No I do not,but it's not only reason people hate it like he keeps pretending it to be. I hate it more cause Jon's written like an OC character+aged up for nothing,he was amazing character when he was still 10
I want to be happy about Jon being bi,but not with how they've done it
@DogSuffragette Maybe he should actually put in the work to actually have good bi rep first, instead of hiding behind it and pretending giving donations to good(!) charities makes up for thinking that just one kiss is all it takes to handle bi right.
@lifethatifiend@TomTaylorMade There's really big difference between the above-mentioned heroes & Jon.He has been aged-up for no good reason & his character's so much changed that most former fans of Jon are saying that both bendis & Taylor are ruining him.We never wanted Jon to be someone that's hated so much
@TomTaylorMade Also please stop hiding yourself as Jon being bi as only reason people hate it. Lots of actual LGBT readers who loved Jon before the coming out doesn't like how you're writing bi rep in your comic run.But Jon being bi is the least issue,we don't like how Jon is written like an OC
@TomTaylorMade It's interesting you made this thread on the day of another comic book who got old Jon that people are loving. Coincidence, much?
Great punchline except are you forgetting there was an annual released in December, or did you not write that one?
