@DCComics We encourage people to pay attention to the ratings when picking out any books to read themselves or for their children.
My response: Wow, @DCComics You could not have missed the point of this discussion any further if it had been in the Vegan Star System.
phantombythenumbers said:I bet this is about that 7-year-old girl who didn’t want to read comics because she loved Starfire in Teen Titans (the show) and hated her in a few pages of Red Hood and the Outlaws that she saw.
airawyn said:I assume that is what they are attempting to respond to, but they are not only missing the point of that article, but completely ignoring all the actual adults who really don’t mind sex in their comics but object to the way it’s presented.
ElfGrove said:Oh fer cripes sakes. This is definitely about the 7-year-old girl article.
DC is not missing the point. They’re intentionally ignoring it.
They didn’t care about any of the other legitimate complaints. Not the well-articulated CA article by Laura Hudson, not the intelligent commentary by Andrew Wheeler, nor Ms. Snarky’s blog entry, not Fishy Intent’s discussion of the rape interpretation in the Catwoman issue and how it is not romantic fantasy, nor the pointed numbers comic from Shortpacked. They cared about the article with a real little girl (with photos of that very real little girl) that didn’t like New Starfire because THAT was the one that might have hit bigger headlines than the existing fanbase websites. That was the article that might start a CNN or a FOX News story that said look at this adorable child. Look what DC has done to her favorite superhero. And that, my fellow fans, would have undone much of the good hype they’ve built up in the big name news about the New 52. So they cared about her story. They feel safe ignoring the rest of us, because the nuance between a positive portrayal of Starfire and her sexuality and what Lobdell did doesn’t make an easy front page headline that will enrage John Q. Public. A disheartened 7-year-old girl looking at nu!Starfire does.
quick name fourI'm sure that's not true at all. Don't say things like that.
There are people who care about you.
I'd say good time to try to quit!
Did you know that after three days your body's physical dependence on tobacco is gone entirely and the rest is all mental?
Haha. I learned this from my friends who smoke... who decided not to quit smoking.
Haha.
ha.....
I'll shut up now.

And I count for quite a few because of my awesome rating so the four is satisfied.
