There is a certain danger in thinking about diversity in its own little box, as something that is somehow separate from 'normal' comic books and comics creators.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Historically, diversity has been a real issue for superhero comics - so we need to do something about it, crafting strong, modern heroes for a modern audience.
I continue to be disappointed that people don't try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.
I think diversity has to happen on a storytelling level, not just on a casting level.
The only way we are going to get diversity is if the demographics of the decision-makers change... The odd-token bone thrown is not going to do it. Don't pat yourself on the back because you made that black drama; that's not diversity. It's got to be baked into the foundation of where the ideas flow from.
If we truly seek diversity in fiction, we have to let the needs of others come before our need to define ourselves as social justice allies.
It's really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength.
I've just always been a proponent of having a lot of diversity in the shows I've done. I just think that's the world we live in.
Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.
I have a great affection for comics, and I think that people underrate comics as a genre.
I think diversity is something that should be celebrated because it's who we are as a world, and little kids need to be able to turn on the TV and see real-world representations of themselves. It's very important.
