First, this is exactly why I don’t get upset when new versions of charcters or stories don’t look like ones I’ll like; the ones I do are still there. At worst it means there won’t be new official stuff in the vein I like for a while.

That said, yeah, its hard to sympathize when the majority of stories are still about white males and framing it as ‘losing’ characters to someone else. Are you really using the demographics of characters to keep score? And objecting at moves to let other people tell new stories? And not even trying to relate to character slightly different from you? When groot and rocket connected with so many people, that sort of thing still mystifies me.

During the “Being Non-Compliant” panel it was said "our toys won't be taken away". But isn't that already happening? We lost Thor. We lost Cap. Sooner or later Miles will replace Peter. Avengers goes all female. I mean, it feels like all my favorites are being slowly chipped away and replaced. What comics am I supposed to read soon?

Your toys aren’t being taken away, your mom just told you that you have to share them and now you don’t want them anymore because they have cooties on them. 

I dunno man, you might actually have to try relating to a character that doesn’t look like you at some point. And you happen to be part of the one group that has really not in recent memory been called upon to do that. So you’ll excuse me if I don’t feel all that bad for you?
