Well, from the comments I've seen you can't even say, "Stick to the source material" without others coming and calling you an old washed up, white racist that's living up ARAH's and Larry Hama's ass. So yeah, I would feel a little attacked.
But I do know what you mean. Some people take this shit waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too serious. Changes to individual characters for that purpose sucks for us old farts, but to the new generation of kids just getting into it, they don't know or care. Yep, life moves on whether you want it to or not. Me? I'm mostly done living in the past. Shit, I pretty much live for my wife and kid now anyway.

Oh, as I said, they act like the only possible reason for the changes are to stamp out their way of life. Or to make changes just for change sake. They choose to ignore there are often other reasons that have nothing to do with any of that. In GI Joe's case, dropping "A Real American Hero" and it's exclusive connection to the U.S. military is more about global marketing than anything. I'm sure they want to tone down the military connection too and make it more about "good vs. evil" due to the parents who don't want their kids "playing war,", but it's mostly about selling this shit globally.

But yeah when they change things like turning Salvo to female, I'm like, "But why? Why not just make her into her own person?" |

I definitely accept wanting to tone down the military aspect. I didn't get into GI Joe in the 1982 or 1983. The majority of those Joes looked really military. I don't think that's why they didn't appeal to me but once the 1985 Joes hit, that caught my attention. And by then they weren't your average looking military looking action figures.
But yeah when they change things like turning Salvo to female, I'm like, "But why? Why not just make her into her own person?" Its okay dor the joes to have some martial arts training but those should be the more specialized commando types like snake eyes, beachead, falcon and other such guys. Making say dukes or shipwreck or chuckles into damn near ninja like characters is just janky. And gi joe turned salvo into a chick? WTF?!
