You know the term "virtue-signalling" is just virtue-signalling to other anti-SJWs and alt-rightists?
What constitutes "a reason" to you?

Once in Iron Man #169 and #170. Then again in West Coast Avengers #1, Iron Man #181, Secret Wars #1-8, and all the way through Iron Man #198. And even though he was using the War Machine armor in Iron Man #284, he donned the mantle of Iron Man while he thought Tony Stark was dead, again, not adopting the War Machine name until Tony Stark came back as Iron Man. He was Iron Man from 1983 until 1985. Jesus.

Once meaning the only person who's done that for Tony, unless I'm missing some obscure other character. But nvm, you super left sjws win. I give up. You can have comics now, and I'll keep my money. Except for those who dont feel the need to show how hip they are by being all super progressive.
@Dhrizzle : I'm hardly an alt-rightist. Been voting democrat since I could vote, fully support gay rights, progressive taxation, etc. basically I'm a center leftie. And I still think this need to be all PC with comics is ludicrous.

I do whenever they do that.
I'll say this 1 more time: it's not bad. What's bad is changing an existing character. I'm interested in Tony Stark, the Odinson, Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne, and so forth. You can get greater diversity and not f with what people already are buying; by creating totally new characters.
EDIT: Here's an example. Let's say Wolverine had been introduced as a woman back in the character's first appearance in The Incredible Hulk. ZERO problem with that. Changing this hypothetical female wolverine into a man now for w/e reason would piss me off too.

it is a new character, and peter, thor, bruce and tony are all still there, still getting character development.
tonys best friend just died and hes in a fucked up place right now. making riri iron man and taking her under his wing is just as much about tony as it is about her.

But you've just admitted that changing Batmans and Robins over and over again hasn't been problematic for you, things which have been going on for literally decades....
...as it has with numerous other superheroes....
...but it's a problem when they're replaced with a person of color or a woman?
Am I getting that right? You're fine with Eric Masterson as Thor, you've reduced Rhodey to a "one time" appearance in Iron Man because it probably predates your reading of comics, you don't mind Tim Drake or Jason Todd being Robin because it's a "title" that Batman can bestow on anyone, but Iron Man can't bestow the brand of Iron Man on a black teenage girl?
And like I said, there are tons of new superheroes of racial diversity. They're written well too. None of them break into the mainstream. I'm starting to understand why.
