The DC boycott has ended??

Something about this whole thing feels wrong for numerous reasons. I read the message, I saw their reason, and yet this all feels too sudden.

If DC sees that we can't follow through with a boycott started only 3 days ago, they won't learn a fucking thing. For the record, I'm not mad at the DCsowhite movement, as in the people who started it.

I feel like DC saw the movement and instead of starting production on black-led comic books, they instead sent legal threats to the hosts of the movement. That's the only reason I can think of them ending it so soon.

I'm going to stay wary of this.

me: if im gonna ship clois with anyone its gonna be john henry irons, not bruce. like there was probably potential for Something between bruce and clark but clark was wayyy too repressed about his sexuality for it to go anywhere before he married lois. but lois definitely helped him open up and encouraged him to put the moves on john henry with her, which im sure bruce had no feelings about,

the image immediately beamed into my brain:

hey everypony !! since i’m supporting the DCblackout boycott, i figured i’d make a small info post with links and summaries !!

DCblackout:

DCblackout is the second stage of the DCsowhite discussion that took place earlier this year, which pointed out that DC hasn’t publtished a solo, on-going black title in over 1200 days

DCblackout has 3 main goals: 1. establish and announce 1-3 black on-going titles (with black creative teams) that have cancellation immunity for a minimum of 2 years, 2. educate fans on how sales work so they can accurately support the titles they love, & 3. greenlight a power company book if the titles do well (which would help a fanbase grow)

the goal of DCblackout is to raise awareness of the lack of black DC stories and give fans heroes they can relate to and see themselves in.

blackgirlnerds.com

their official public statement is as follows:

bleedingcool.com

DCsowhite and why now:

DCsowhite brought attention to the fact that there has been no black on-going title in over 1200 days. the last title was ‘I Am Batman’, which ran from 2021-2023 and ended on its #18 issue.

dc heavily relies on mini-runs or one shots for black characters, and black female characters receive even less.

james portis III (aka JPenumbra) posted a piece to comicsbeat.com focusing on the issue.

comicbeats.com

this has been an issue for a long time, but it doesn’t have to continue this way !! below is a link to the DCblackout petition, and blow that are links to JPenumbra’s original piece, the DCblackout website, and blackgirlnerds.com and bleedingcool.com’s pieces (in that order).

a close friend of mine said: "A bot, a bloke, and a bug in space" ( @novafire-is-thinking )

These three are going to science and engineer their way out of everything the universe throws their way. They accidentally fix six different plot holes in each other's galaxies and then some. They galaxy-hop and discover new worlds together. Endless math, science, and nerding out.
