The DC heroes are accontable... To themselves. (or in this case, to other heroes) they're not really accountable to anyone else. In effect they're a superpowered aristocracy, they're not oppressive dicks (far from it) but there's really no way of making them NOT be oppressive dicks.
Which is one reason i can actually sort-of understand the MU government's tendency to fund killer-robots: If they'd get it right it would balance the playing field somewhat.
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.
