Really now? She couldn't exactly change the core characters anymore then the writer of Green Arrow can decide to replace him with , and I'm fairly certain Helena joining had a lot to do with editorial. Lady Shiva was brought in when they wanted to show Dinah having a complex relationship with an equal in an area of hers that no one else could understand, often saving Dinah's life and protecting her, giving her more complexity then the 90's "I kill you because I can!" Shiva. Vixen was brought in for the first time in 7 years by Simone, and it was because they needed her.
Let me clarify, the Six are the only villainous team with a title. I'm saying it'd be bad that your only team with multiple COC is your only regular, which is fair, imo. Do you disagree?
The Suicide Squad, have they been seen since their mini? And Amanda Waller is a hero, Bronze Tiger was trying to redeem himself. Not exactly the Six, who just kidnapped a man and helped someone torture him.
And what I'm saying is that what Gail's doing is developing a character. Scandal is being kicked off the team she created, by a man she thought was her closest friend, because he claims it's for her own good, and being replaced by a snotty psycho teenager. How do you think that's going to make her feel?
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.

Gail Simone agrees with you, by the way.
