This is incredibly well-said.  I am amazed that this person was able to sum this up so articulately in only five minutes.  If you have five minutes to spare, I can’t recommend this video enough - especially if you’ve been infuriated by (or participated in) the controversy surrounding Miles Morales.

There were lots of stories that came out of SDCC this year, but the one that has caught the attention of the comics community was a woman who dressed up as Batgirl to ask questions about female characters and creators at several DC Comics’ panels.
