I think Shortpacked pretty much nails it on the head. DC is shooting itself in the foot - AND going against their previous stated aims when DC Entertainment was formed with Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns, which was to make the DC characters consistent across the media spectrum (which was also one of the reasons Didio gave for bringing back Barbara as Batgirl -because she was was the one people would recognize from the cartoons as such). The reality is DC is not really interested in new readers or even younger readers (if that was the case the Marvel Family should have been given a book right out of the gate) but only with the same demographic they used to be getting: males 18-34. You can't run a business successfully with that kind of premise.
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.
