Sending this in an ask because I can’t dm. Didn’t want to put in a reblog so people wouldn’t misconstrue me as arguing with your point.
This is the screenshot I’ve been seeing passed around. There’s a million reasons why the whole stuff with talking about bop and Thompson still comes off as ridiculous and fueled by transmisogyny. but I didn’t know if you had or hadn’t seen this
I hope your day outside of tumblr has been better
Oh shit, I thought my DMs were open. Fixed now!
Anyways, I hadn't seen that but I guess it makes more sense...? But still, people talk about "DC Comics editorial" like it's a nebulous group of unknowable power instead of like... Thompson talked to a specific person! We don't know who that person is, if it was Jessica Berbey or Rob Levin or Marie Javins.
Plus, like you said, if Thompson wanted to use her... she had her chance! She had a year beforehand!
Targeting such sheer vitriol at a book we know next to nothing about being other than it's being written by a transgender woman is just... well, it's very transphobic! You literally do not know anything about how Helena will be written!
