    Your problem is not the future, but your ignorance of the past (that and your abject bigotry).

    Bet you believe Amazons were invented for the comics.

    Ignoramus.

    Oh come on, she comes from an island of all women. Of course she was gay, or at least bi, right from the beginning.

    No, PC bullshit was the bluenoses in the 1940s and ‘50s who hated comics anyway and would have killed the concept outright if there was a hint of any kind of sexuality, straight or gay.

    You’re as much of an “expert” on American history as Dayton, and you apparently know nothing about the mythological origins of these characters.

    Grow up.

    Given the lack of male Amazons, yes. How did you think that worked? Wonder Woman had never seen a man until one washed up in her 20s.

    Amazons were always lesbians. What did you think, they just sat around on their island pining for men who never showed up?

    The recent graphic novel "Wonder Woman: Earth One" went there, referring to another Amazon as Diana's lover.

    I'm a bit conflicted. On the one hand, it's a society consisting solely of women, so some sapphic action is probably inevitable, and, if you rule that out, then you have to account for the Amazons being asexual. On the other hand, Wonder Woman as a character has always been straight and her romances with other DC heroes (Superman in the comics and, especially, Batman in the animated Justice League series) were interesting developments.

    Amazon was invented so I could order light bulbs and have them shown up at my front door the next day.

    Ah, no. Wonder Woman has not always been straight. Altho given the restrictions of the times they couldn't be blatant about it, in the original comics it was pretty heavily implied that there was Baba-pleasing action going on on that island.

    I think WW's romances with various men were more along the lines of "well isn't this all new and curious" than proof that she was hetero.

    I think they should go all out and give her a short haircut, an Olive Oil tattoo, and a pair of Dr. Martens to fight in.

    Wouldn't work. The Amazons were sort of the ancient Greeks' idealized version of femininity. Altho Wonder Woman heavily Americanizes that, the current trends shouldn't really apply.

    Might interest you to know that there was a black Wonder Woman for a while in the late 70s/early 80s, tho IIRC she's been retconned out since the Crisis on Infinite Earths thing in the mid 80s.

    It doesn't really matter, unless you're waaaaaay too invested in a comic book character - which is strange in and of itself - but her being into women is at least conceivable in this particular case.

    Wonder Woman has so always been straight. :bailey:

    Any lesbian interpretation is what you're reading into it, not what's actually there.

    WW has had relationships with both Bat's and Supe's, was she a lesbian then? I thought you couldn't choose to be gay?

    She didn't choose to be gay. If anything she chose to experiment, or was confident enough in her identity to go with whoever she found attractive.

    The guy who invented wonder woman was actually a polyamorist and he had some strange ideas about "equality" for woman meaning they could fuck every guy they wanted and that it would be no bigger deal than shaking hands. Frankly, that sounds more like his fantasy than a woman's idea.

    One of the guy's three "wives" wrote a book about this recently about what it was like living in a house with three women sharing one guy and living in one house in a 1950's suburb. One of their main preoccupations was with inventing cover stpries to tell the neighbors about their unusual living situation and how all three women were pregnant at the same time.

    Reminds me of that story about Superman flying by Wonder Woman's apartment building. He sees her naked on a bed writhing in obvious passion.

    He gets really aroused and says "I can fly in there so fast and get some of that and be done before she even sees me".

    He does.

    Wonder Woman feels the weight on her more than double then its suddenly gone.

    She says

    "What the hell was that?"

    The Invisible Man says

    "I don't know but my ass is killing me"
