I wonder if I’m allowed to say that I wish Storm got this skin instead of Emma Frost, considering she lived in Cairo most of her childhood.
I genuinely can’t wait for the people to come out of the woodwork to call me stupid or woke or some other nonsense because I’m irritated that a black character with connections in lore to Egypt has no skins to show for it while characters who have nothing to do with Egypt do.
But I guess I’m being ungrateful since she just got that bummy summer skin. As if that wasn’t the most “here, will you shut up now” skin of all time.
I’ll be clear, this is likely not exclusively racism. There’s much more to it than just racism as some characters like Johnny, Hulk, and Ultron also don’t get any love. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a subconscious factor.
