      Considering the first sentence of the linked article is:

      Fans in the region say references to X-Men character Mystique’s lesbian relationship have been censored in ‘Marvel’s Wolverine.’

      I’d say, no. A hook? Sure.

        That isnt a headline. Its a summary, and I had to click the link to see it. So the actual headline is literally clickbait.

          What a garbage take lmfao. I mean sure, every headline of any article you’ve ever read is clickbait.

            I guess the clickbait part is that the title is framing it as a question instead of stating “this is happening”

      The headline of the linked article is a rhetorical question, as the article goes on to answer it in the first sentence of the article.

      Fans in the region say references to X-Men character Mystique’s lesbian relationship have been censored in ‘Marvel’s Wolverine.’
