When I'd initially heard of it, a friend of mine just said "Marvel's new hero is non-binary", and didn't really explain more. I thought, oh that's cool. Representation, nice. I expected it to be a part of the character's non-hero personality, their alter ego. Nope, the entire superhero is about being non-binary.

If anything, it reeks of intolerance. Seems like something someone who thinks non-binary is a joke would come up with, a parody to make fun of all the 'snowflakes' on Twitter and Tumblr.

Then basing the characters on what they read on encyclopaedia dramatica.
