FTR I didn't accuse the fans of being "radfems," it was just that one PPG villain.

But anyway, it kind of goes back to what I said--it's corporate/industry dickery. Fans like lady heroes, the suits (like Quesada and Didio and company) are either jerks who just don't wanna give them to us or don't know how to handle them, or a little from column A and a little from column B. (Also, I'm like maths% sure that Didio just hates every character and story ever.) Gail Simone doesn't even know WTF is up with DC's various editorial practices, and she works for them. (Or did. I gave up with the nu52 and haven't cracked a DC comic since.) It's mismanagement upon idiocy upon dickery.

And I've seen a lot of people on Tumblr (which I know isn't any kind of good representative example for anything) who are all "EW LEGACY HEROES" in general and it always bugs me a bit to see it.

Also, I love your icon, that's super-cute. I haven't seen that picture before.

Got'cha.

Yeah, it is corporate/industry dickery. And just the whole idea that the people who are reading comics are going to the typical white guy demographic, and if they want to sell comics they have to appeal to them. It kind of is part of the fan's fault too - the fans of the female heroes are a bit in a minority, we just seem larger because we're so outspoken. But yes, there are still a lot of fans who want to read about female heroes, or who won't stop reading because there are female heroes.
That sums up Didio well.

Thanks! I didn't make the icon, but yeah, it is pretty cute.
