[OOC] Virgil's prejudices aka Virgil can be a dick

[sparksrgonnafly]

So, I was reading up some of the Static comics and found that someone uploaded bits of the volume where Virgil discovers that Rick (the character Richie is based on) is gay. The scans in question are here.

Now, I consider the comics and cartoon show completely separate from each other, but I think it's interesting to note that Virgil does have

Just a comment! Which might push buttons XD; and I'm a bit sorry for that, but I'm not sure why you think that since Virgil is open minded on race he will be to sexuality. Not to say that I think he's homophobic! but judging from the reaction in the comics I find your conclusion interesting. Even though this is comics =/= cartoon for your personal canon here, I just... thought I'd put in my two cents, especially since you opened it to questions.

Which makes me surprised that you are (it seems) comparing a canon instance to your play in camp and using that as a basis for your conclusion of him not being homophobic? Which... seems backwards to me.

I'm also a bit surprised at Virgil's extreme black:white stance on evil, since he IS a protagonist and a DC hero. He's not the Batman sort of antihero either, from my gathering but rather one of those honest to goodness I STRIVE FOR THE GOOD IN PEOPLE heroes. Perhaps my reading of the cartoon were different.

Ha ha! Remember that I haven't seen the canon in forever.

No problem! I'm open for questions

C-Considering you had all those zombies attacking you, Virgil won't really hold it against you because that was a rather EXTREME situation. But yeah. Doesn't like guns.
