SJWs crying on twitter that video games/film/comics need to all plug in token black/lesbian/fat characters for no reason other than black/lesbian/fat only leads to SJWs crying on twitter about tokenism.
You can't please these people and you don't want to because they don't buy the products anyway.

Let's leave aside the imbalances in racial make up, sexual preference, etc. and just focus on women in comics for a sec. Comics are dominated by male characters:
only 1 in 4 characters are female. I'm sure that's not surprising, but think about it: in comics 1 in 4 characters are female, but in the real world 1 in 2 people are female. Could there maybe be a problem there?
And while you can cry "tokenism" all you want, the reality is that despite your nemeses ("SJWs") things haven't really been improving:

But at the same time it's not like comics are inherently only for males. Just try telling that to a comic book vendor in Japan (a country even less feminist than America) and watch them laugh at you because half their sales come from women.
It's simple: comics are awesome, and women deserve to see themselves in them just as much as men do. Just because historically they haven't been represented doesn't mean we have to keep it that way. Some people are genuinely trying to change that, and despite your claims about no one buying them, female-centered comics are in fact selling great:
Seems to me tokenism has nothing to do with it, and that maybe, just maybe, people actually want to see comics that aren't completely dominated by (straight, white) men.
