More Offensive: Psylocke vs Fungi

[Chase_Stein]

It made me think this thread would just be about Psylocke battling against a yeast infection.

UGH, please. 9_9

Whether you call her Fongji or Fungi, she's still way more offensive than any other character in Marvel or DC for that matter. It's not because of how she looks. It's that she's a character that's been pulled out of thin air and contrived to be yet another Jean Grey look-alike with the Phoenix Force. It's bad enough Marvel did the same with Hope Summers five years ago. At least Hope's story was worked into the events of Messiah Complex. Fongji is just a lousy retcon and another blatant excuse for Marvel to utilize Phoenix imagery without using Jean Grey.

You're just assuming she looks like Jean. The fact is that when Marvel produces any character with red hair, it seems to send her hard-core fans into paroxysmal fits of rage and blind frothing, claiming how they're just Jean clones; enough so that the writers and artists end up putting jokes about it into the comics.

You've become sad, sad parodies of yourselves, and I for one am not sure if I should feel pity or mirth.

Fongji showed more character in one issue than Jean did in her first hundred

Feel mirth.

[Slant]

All characters are pulled out of thin air. The hate is transparent.

She doesn't look like Jean. Fongji is Asian. Fongji looks like Colleen Wing.

She doesn't look like Jean. Fongji is Asian.

I know right, she's even drawn with Asian features and some still have the nerve to say that.
By that logic this is also Jean Grey:

The red gem bellybutton gives her away as one of Sinister's creations.

Ok, but what is offensive about Psylocke?

[Lady_Alternate]

Well, it does look just like her, so I think its a fair mistake.
