Yup their choice in the end, if they regret it, they have no right to blame it on others
That said, it’s kinda weird but I think the western take on LGBT sorta purposely lacks things like hotness and cuteness the way Japan likes it
That's because pride culture in the west is about deifying ugliness, unconventional looks and poor hygiene. If you're part of that culture. You're about making regular people feel as uncomfortable as possible..part of that is why so many Troons that are part of that wing of the movement turn out to be pedos.
That being said a lot of lesbians and transpeople tend to be more right wing and those are fairly chill and tend to put a lot of effort into their appearance. Funny how that divide is growing...too, with more coming to this side and abandoning the pride movement.
Any way...
You
could Race and gender swap Magneto and Luthor @Spartan303 is probably cringing reading this and I don't blame him at all because 99% of the time it's an absolutely stupid and pointless thing to do. But it is doable...in some situations.
A good example is basing Lex Luthor off Telly Savalas..who lets be real..probably would have been a perfect Luthor if he'd have lived long enough to voice the guy in the DCAU..Right down to growing up in a ghetto and knowing quite a few people who became mini Luthors.
Like my idea for a black Magneto...it would..require you touching on subject matter that would make journalists spazz but you could do it.
Like if you absolutely had to make Luthor black...You could cast Avery Brooks as Luthor and make him the son of a Jamaican, or Bajan or Haitian immigrant or make him one himself. The gang wars and poverty he experienced on his island as a kid in the 60's and 70's and the self destructiveness of certain groups in the Metropolis ghetto he migrated too left him convinced that it was only by ruthlessness, genius and excellence that one became more than they were. Luthor, who was born special, born brilliant but still had to crawl his way up hates superman for being given everything and needing to earn nothing.
The genesis of his rivalry isn't jealous, but contempt. He views the younger paragon as an entitled, spoiled little upstart and an illegal alien, unlike Luthor and his father who paid their dues and earned the right to be an American citizen. The fame and accolades Clark gets by existence, being things Luthor had to earn and the fact that the Daily Planet fawns over him when he gets punched through a neighborhood by some marauder from the stars but Luthor has to deal with the press shitting on him when he demos his old ghetto and builds high rises and uplifts the lives of everyone who used to live there by turning them into employees of the new people who do. To him is symptomatic of the rot and decay of the society he once loved that has now begun to praise and celebrate the weak.
Cast him as a much older man, one who despite his age and lack of superpowers still owns any room he is in, still has the bravado and confidence backed up by a supremely deadly intellect that makes it a legitimate threat when he eyeballs darkseid and tells him under no uncertain terms that this Galaxy is his and the New God better take that to heart if he wants to play around in Luthor's sandbox.
To Luthor, Clark isn't a godling, but a weakling, a border hopper and a social parasite. An obstacle to batter down not just to enhance his own image and to return the spotlight to himself but to strike a blow for the world that was and the world that Luthor believes should still be.
You can do it like that...it aint..perfect...but you can do it.
What you can't do is cast a blackman as Luthor and have him call attention to Clarks skin color and babble about racism and oppression and "of course the white savior gets all the press even when he's a deranged vigilante and I'm an honest business man..HOW SHWAY..HOOWW?!"
Because no incarnation of Luthor would ever be so fucking weak (in his mind) as to ever debase himself to think that any hardship he suffered and any roadblock he experienced was over something as droll and collectivist as racism.
Naw, racism was for the bottom feeding weaklings who lacked the will. Luthor just demo'd their shitty apartments and built up a fucking financial district that's the envy of the world over the bones of their dead crack mammy's.
Racism is for that flying, preening, malcontent, idiot. Who was lamenting the displacement of the rat-people whose lives Lex Luthor God King of Metropolis, the modern day Ramses, Imhotep, Isaac Newton, Einstein and Alexander the Great all rolled into one...just improved by giving them jobs for the first time in their miserable, unfulfilled lives.
And so on...
