The Deposed King:
By making starbuck, the ghost busters and various other icons either female or minorities you are either cnoeging an inconvenient truth or infatalizing entire segment of the population by saying that they couldn't possibly come up with something just as cool unique character on their own.  Either way its the height of bubkiss

Or, you have a whole generation of creative communities actually cant come up with anything, that are stuck in the Remake/Reboot mentality and somehow missing the critical ingredient to the sort of originality that once flourished.  (Creative Talent, Courage to Innovate, Non-douchebag executives, etc)

Take a black female like Storm and make her a white male and see the $#!tstorm that follows.

You arent wrong (though lets be honest shitstorms happen for every change regardless of PC connotations.  Geeks hate Change :)).  But if you gave Storm a white male sidekick with the same general powerset, breaking the older tradition of your batgirls and supergirls of these worlds, you'd probably be fine.  You could even retire/kill her and ahve a new weather mutant take up the name and probably be ok as long as the new character was established.  Not sure I see that as any different than the new Riri Williams/Ironheart or Jane Foster as Thor that people seem to hate all of the sudden.  I dont mind mantles being passed, for me the key is not retconning the original character.

And none of those bothered me anything like the travesty that is the Superior Spiderman  :P
