Yeah... It is a really toxic trope. There's a real fake feminism that reduces both sexes, harming all sides. Even if she's the villain and supposed to be wrong, I just can't help but wish we had a more interesting idea to explore.
Add the context of this being a spin off of Tom King's noxious work on the main Wonder Woman book... Given all the awful problems of that disaster, do we really need to add 'there's an evil woman trying to kill all men' to the overall story. Tom King doesn't need help to be more offensive and awful. He's far too good at that all by himself
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.
