I'm tired of this overemphasis on diversity spilling into our entertainment.

Like the ridiculous twins on Fantastic Four where they decided to put a black father to have a black boy and white girl...

That is what I love about Japanese Manga, there is a lot of diversity of stories and chars, while also protecting the story integrity. So if anyone want to have a strong black lesbian he can make a very good story with it either being irrelevant (like if it was a asian dude, no one ask why he is asian dude in a Manga) or that the fact she is a black lesbian is relevant to the story told.

The actor said he interpreted it as heterosexual, didn't want to change the char to homosexual even though he was one... And why do he would need to be explicitly homosexual?

I don't see what's so ridiculous about that, what's wrong with a black twin and a white twin? Is that so absurd? And I didn't say that he needed to be explicitly homosexual, I'm saying that unless he was explicitly heterosexual his orientation was not changed at all, it was just merely not stated.

And what good reason was there for know after 30 years it need to be explicit??? And again you are ignoring the guy saying he played it as a hetero. I don't even remember the last time anyone had to declare he is hetero for anyone to care.

How many pale white / dark brow twins do you know? Besides the fact that it wasn't the original characterization.
