I can see them calling her that now, given there's an undercurrent of "you betrayed us by going to man's world". But calling her that as a child makes no sense.

And of course she was the only Amazon child, wasn't she? So it would have been a bunch of adults insulting a kid in that case, which doesn't sound right.

With an entire island population, there's always bound to be a few asshats.

"As a child she knew the love of 100 mothers."


I'm sticking with Perez.

[nezchan]

Certainly a lot more poetic, and sticking with Perez is always a good idea anyhow.

I can even handle the idea of discontent/jealousy in some quarters, like in Gail Simone's run. It's natural enough, but everyone's got enough sense not to blame Diana for something she can't help (with the exception of an even smaller minority). But to call her Clay to her face? (hehe, Clayface) That seems beyond the pale.

It is beyond the pale, but when you're dealing with an entire island's population, I don't think it's unrealistic that at least a few people will like that.
