If find it morally wrong to take a character from the past and then change his/her attributes. To suddenly make a straight bloke a gay female, or to make a disabled person not disabled. It implies that there was something wrong with the previous version of the character, and that you have the ability to improve it. Which is arrogance on the level of a God- or Saviour Complex. By judging those who went before us, we judge ourselves. Like the Pharisees of Jesus' day who honoured the prophets of old and claimed they would never have murdered those prophets if they had been around back then. Jesus told them off, that they were no better than their fathers. They didn't like that, but then proved him right by having Jesus Himself murdered. It is the principle of Romans 2:1: "[...] at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." If you disagree with some attributes of an historic character, create a new one. Don't claim or imply you are better than those who went before. Because you are not.
