Except that, thanks to how she's posed, this cover's still "sexier" than anything Billy's done on-panel with his boyfriend.
I get the logic behind the cover, I understand they're similar power-wise and that she's not trying to turn Billy straight. I'm sure, like others have suggested, that if there is any "seducing" here it's going to involve power and not sex... but I still find the cover irritating.
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.
