Other than Jason Todd being retconned to have red hair, and C4J, Nightwing Brothers in Blood and Battle for the Cowl were some terrible events, too.
Identity Crisis was ....ugh, I really didn't like it. The rape of Sue Dibny was bad enough, but the part that hurt me the most was Ralph saying "I hope she fought hard." To me, that feels less like "I hope she got a few kicks in" and more like "I hope she didn't just let it happen to her, I hope that she wasn't passive in the whole affair." As a woman who has been sexually assaulted, I find that to be really demeaning and that's really just how I read it. So I really don't know if I can have Identity Crisis on my shelf because of that.
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.
