@tnielsenhayden Hey, I just remembered that somebody told me you might be able to explain Keith Giffen to me.
@tnielsenhayden @Tsalmoth DC should thank its stars for all the girls who love Starfire and would never think to read Red Hood & the Outlaws

@chaosprime@Tsalmoth If comics cared whether girls bought the books, you wouldn't see female characters with a case of Liefeld Swayback. -
@tnielsenhayden@Tsalmoth Hell, Liefeld is offensive to anybody's who's taken Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology. -
@chaosprime@Tsalmoth Granted! But that sexualized swayback is a genuinely visceral turn-off for a lot of potential female readers. -
@tnielsenhayden@Tsalmoth Yupyup. I suspect everything that article about demographic marketing of male supremacy in video games had to say… -
@tnielsenhayden@Tsalmoth …played out in comic books decades earlier, and what we're left with today is mostly the wreckage. -
@chaosprime@Tsalmoth Any day, any month, they could start repairing that. -
@tnielsenhayden@Tsalmoth I almost think Marvel actually is. DC, well, they lacked the will even to keep Sword of Sorcery coming out.

@tnielsenhayden@Tsalmoth But it takes Harlan to do both. -
@chaosprime@Tsalmoth Harlan was an energetic guy. -
@tnielsenhayden@Tsalmoth I think I've heard that around. -
@chaosprime@Tsalmoth You've got a good memory.
