I still think the idea of a company that is trying to produce literary works using a poll to decide the outcome of a character is actually the most ludicrous. On top of that, a number of people wrote in to DC following the vote to say they voted for Jason to die just to see what DC would do.
And I hate how fans claim that the fan vote is what "seals the deal" about Jason's death: "Well, the fans wanted it!" Frankly, Jim Starlin wanted it and he made Jason to be so unlikeable that fans would want it. Even if the vote hadn't happened, Starlin would have found a way for Jason to die.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
