>>149239742Harley's still in everything and printing tons of merch. Marvel wants in on that. And no, despite orange man getting elected, people didn't stop being gay and screeching about representation.
>>149239784Yeah, she's already "bi," but since they made it official and not implied, she's been with 5 women and has been featured in almost every Pride/voices issue, if not all of them. I'm just saying it's clear Marvel wants to push her in that direction, and they've hired a writer who is prone to absolutely hard-pushing characters into being lesbians already.
>>149240254Nah, see above, I'm not late. I know the history, I'm just saying they're going to dial it up to 11 in her solo.
>>149241513Also see above. It's all about the upcoming writer and what Marvel wants to get their hands on: a popular, iconic gay character, like Harley is for DC. Sure, Harley is "bi," but outside of one issue where she mentions she might have a crush on Booster Gold, she's been in a committed relationship with Ivy, is in a throuple with Ivy and another woman right now, and will never go back to another guy or Twitter will shriek and scream until they undo it and do Harlivy again. Harley's time with men/Joker is now just part of her abusive past, and for all intents and purposes, she's a lesbian now. The same writer is taking over Black Cat. You just know by issue 3, Wilson will be introducing a woman intended to be Felicia's new, most iconic queer relationship. Especially with MJ coming back on the market most likely soon, Marvel has to have something for Felicia to do that isn't Peter, and what better time than now to pair her up with a woman for representation brownie points?
I'm sincerely not trying to be antagonistic like Gwenschizo. It's just how comics work these days. Tim Drake, Jon Kent, Harley & Ivy, all "bi" but will never be in a hetero relationship or even hookup again because then they can't feature in same-sex relationships in pride books and on pride covers.
