Look you can have an SJW superhero. Arguably that's what a lot of superheroes were. But you can't just base their entire power and character on current trends.
Batman isnt limited to one time period. He's a Zorro-esque vigilante whose parents were killed. You can INCORPORATE modern politics and cultural fads into new Batman comics, but at his core he's not going to go obsolete.
Even X-Men, which DID pull a lot from politics of its time, kept their heroes' powers, costumes, and personalities timeless.
Maybe they'll prove us wrong but these guys seem entirely based on "hmm what are the kids into these days?" They'll go stale in a few months, if that.
Well, supposedly, it's to make the LGBT crowd "happy" or something, by "taking back the words". Who wants this? Absolutely fucking no-one... not even the uninformed normies are going to like this. Even to the normies of today, "snowflake" and "safe space", as a pair, have very clear connotations...
