Honestly, I have noticed that there are a lot of hostility towards some of the anonymous comments. You are right, the comic should be more directed towards a female audience (not just a male audience), but I think the fear is that the comic is only aimed

I hate to keep explaining this stuff. But nowhere did I ask for comics that were aimed at exclusively a female audience. Nowhere.

But even if I did, WHY would that be such a bad thing? There are hundreds of comics each month aimed with very little thought to a female audience and only a handful that are aimed at a primarily female one. It’s ridiculous that people actually have the idea that adding female appeal to some books is somehow taking away from this vast wave of books aimed almost exclusively with male readers in mind. I don’t get why this is complicated.


And no worries about your English, it’s very good. But good representation of female characters usually DOES mean an increased female audience, actually.



Not trying to be brusque, but it seems impossible for people to read any post on gender issues without bringing in a ton of stuff that was never brought up in the post at all. It’s frustrating.
