I believe both, but obviously Google's internal tags carry way more weight.

by Google’s tags, do you mean the algorithm or do humans who work at Google also work to tag things as well?

Apparently, there are new nonbinary heroes in Marvel's New Warriors called Safespace and Snowflake and they thought it would be good representation.
How did they think this was a good idea?

Being terminally out of touch, I guess.

Down at the bottom of the ocean. Beneath tons of brine which would crush you down. Not into broken and splintered flesh, but into thin soup. Into just more of the sea water. Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

The artist is LGBTQ themselves. Presumably the creator thought it was good as an ironic sort of thing.

Everything I have seen so far is them getting hate from all sides, and like, I can't disagree that its poor design.

I think it's ironic, like Giglamesh said. The irony being that these terms that conservatives use to refer to supposedly weak sensitive leftists now refer to badass superheroes.

Also, comic fans will get upset without context.

Remember when Capt. America said "Hail Hydra" in a panel and people blew up about it without reading it? I mean, this is obviously a bit different, but I'm willing to give it a read and see how it goes before reacting.

Marvel and (to a lesser extent, perhaps) DC were already garbage.

I'unno, quick eyeball suggests while the like, naming, is kinda' shit the character design itself looks pretty a'ight otherwise? Arguably the least bad of what seems to be the team they're associated with, even, heh. If their names had been basically anything else I could see giving the pair a pretty easy pass.

I mean, there are plenty of gay folks who are hostile to NBs. Might be the case.

They're being made by straight white men. How do you think?

Although I guess it was a pretty okay joke when Safeword changed her name to Hate Crime, because she hates crime. At least there was some self-awareness involved, and it was supposed to be a joke.
