It's a costume. Based on fictional characters. Fictional meaning, they're not actual people. Get a grip, people. If you're offended by something, that's YOUR problem, stop trying to make it everyone else's.

Companies need to grow a back bone and stop backing down to these online faux-outrage.

Talk about missing the point!
