I want to rant about something that been bothering me in the Static Shock fandom for a long time now. I think it's gross and weird that people ship Richie with girls when he's gay. Richie was always suppose to be gay but that part of his character was censored in the show. Dwayne McDuffie has even said Richie is gay. There are hints that's he's gay in the show. Richie is also based off a gay character from the comics. So its really weird seeing him being shipped with girls knowing all that information. I came into the Static Shock fandom already knowing he's gay from reading about it on Wiki. Richie is mainly shipped with girls in fanfics on Fanficion.net. They mainly ship him with Frieda, Nina Timezone and She-bang and a bit of Madelyn. He's paired female OCs the most. This a bit off topic but the female OCs always seem to be white which kinda bothers me as a black fan cause Static Shock is a black lead show and when it comes to diverse media you shouldn't be focusing on white

"What is it Shenice ? Can it wait for the team meeting ?" Virgil asked concerned. "It's Frieda, she wants to expose your identity for her news paper" Shenice explain. "That can't be good. I'm surprised she hasn't tried before" Virgil says. "What should we do ?" Richie asks. "I could follow her and make sure she doesn't discover you're Static" Shenice suggested. "Follow her and sure she stays out of trouble" Virgil told her. "I already told her I would help her, but I'll really be distracting her" Shenice said. "We can talk more about this during the team meeting as soon as Adam get's here "Virgil says. "Daisy is also helping her too" Shenice mentions. "Daisy is very smart, definitely keep a eye on them" Richie says. "I've created a device that can track electricity" Daisy said holding a weird looking radar gun. They were in Daisy's room, sitting on her bed. "I've also hacked into the police radio scanner so when any bad happens, you can follow Static from crime scenes" Daisy
