like you said, if you wanna make a progressive character, go ahead and make one.

the only thing I expect: make them a good character first and foremost.

THIS. So many idiots forget that and try to just put some stupid social message behind it that's soapboxing and iritating to the point anyone reading will go "Will you shut up?! I don't care." and you lose all the old readers who just want some escapist fiction that sometimes subtly touch on actual social issues while also trying to gain more readers interested in lots of social issues but who don't care enough about progressive changes to comics to actually start reading them. You set yourself up to fail on both fronts.

And then there's how people like that often treat detractors...
