    Comic books are a bad example imo because retconing characters is just what they do over there lmfao. But yeah they did decide in 2015 that Iceman was a closeted gay man. His sexuality wasn’t really a major point of his character beforehand tho and I think the way they did it told an interesting story for his character, so I think it was a worthwhile retcon of an otherwise kind of mediocre character.

      Yeah I don’t really care about it, hence why I haven’t read the story lol but it is an example. The fact it’s the only one I can think of would indicate this isn’t an issue that people need to stress over.
