female_fanboy ([info]female_fanboy) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
Somewhat of an accuracy nitpick: It was actually Grant Morrison that told women to submit their work, not Didio. Oh, Didio was still a colossal ass from the audio I've heard, but we best be blaming him for the stuff he actually did (Like the, "We're hiring the best." The best apparently includes Rob Liefeld, because only terrible artist draw spines in alignment.)

But yeah, DC's been a pain in the ass about this whole thing. Especially their stubborn refusal to acknowledge that girls actually can like superheroes and that they might be a viable demographic if they don't actively alienate them like they're doing now. Sunrise can sure attest to that right now.

(I'm debating the boycott. The thing is, I was only planning to buy Demon Knights and Blue Beetle, and I have the cynical hunch that DC would interpret the low sales of those two books as, "Whelp, looks like nobody wants hispanic protagonists or mostly female hero teams. Back to straight white men!" I guess I have a month to figure it out.)
