I've become increasingly disappointed and disgusted by the negative influence that social justice warriors have had on society. It makes me feel physically ill, the Man Shaming, the general pussification of any masculine attitudes and ideals, forcing their views upon us, trying to make us accept their insanity and ruining everything we've come to enjoy.

From comic books, and movies to video games, they've left their toxic stench on everything. There doesn't seem to be any limit to what they can find to be "offended" by and they insist on bitching and trying everything they can to align with their demented views. We got people like Anita Sarkeesian sticking their noses into our games where they don't belong, harassing gamers and devs alike, complaining that they are misogynistic woman haters because their protagonists are either macho males or scantily clad females, which is utter garbage. They say the same about other mediums of entertainment as movies and comic, and go on to complain that they aren't black enough, or gay enough, and the sad thing is that creators have started to give in.

We've all experienced characters we've grown up with -established characters- suddenly switch races and sexual orientations. This makes me wonder what fate our favorite story telling mediums will suffer in the future if nothing is done. In the comics, Alan Scott (Green Lantern) has been made to be a homosexual, Wally West (Flash) and Nick Fury have pulled a reverse Michael Jackson, changing from white to black, what could be next?

Will we wake up one day to find that Batman now desires to be a woman? Will Beast Boy be caught engaging in acts of beastiality with the local zoo animals? Will we be confronted by a gay love scene between Hulk and Ant Man in the next Avengers movie? I shudder to think of what might happen next in this circus that society is quickly becoming.

I'm all for writers trying new things with their characters, assuming they don't directly contrast their established personalities. The tone of pandering that some franchises have gone through, however, can be kind of irksome.

Plus, I mean, SJWs have been met with backlash more and more in the past few years. The radical ones are always a minority, anyways. Anita Sarkeesian hasn't been relevant since like, 2013.

She was just a for instance, and the first one that came to mind. Things have escalated much since then.

The SJW's are only a symptom of the problem. Everything you described is included in every single form of media. The agenda behind it is systemic.
It's the battle between good and evil. Also prophesied in the bible. Every soul experiences an "End Times" which is the point where they wake up from the social trance and become aware of the evils of the world.

I know I always pictured Star Fire as a black lady with a bad pink wig, and Raven as trans. :P

While there is exaggeration, I agree there isn't an army of female hating men and people like Sarkeesian are just exploring the situations for their own interest, I like to state there was and still is a problem portraiting women and particular sets of people. In case of women, it is still unbelievable to me how unrealistic most characters portraited in games still are. I do believe this is however for the lack of women and the lack of observation and analysis power of the men in charge (not men in general) in writing the plots and characters.

The problem with people like Sarkeesian is that instead of having a conversation, she exaggerates and puts things in a perspective that helps no one. It creates resentment in the general community by pandering to outrage for things, that for the great part aren't even there. And the repercussions go beyond games - because of people like her many don't take the femenist struggle serious or simply resent it at well. It ends up being exceptionally detrimental, specially in a time of need, where there is a president in place in the US that repeatedly harassed women, a vice president that believes the women role on society should be constraint and a government that's been removing supports for things like family planning, or in other places in the world where women have it much harder.

I do believe character placement for minorities can help, however. Again I don't think it's sexist or racist or whatever not to do it, and it's perfectly alright to have a white male straight set of characters, specially if you already have it, but it doesn't ruin anything to have different sets. The trouble I have with it is again the lack o realism it goes sometimes in creating them. Many of the times, writers seem to fail to understand of what would actually be a motivation or how would a real person react in a certain situation - it doesn't help to accept and normalize others if you fail to portrait them
