I'm apparently pretty alone in this, but I like Red Hood and the Outlaws, and I don't think Starfire's characterization is a crime against humanity.
... BUT I'm basically the target audience for this reboot - I'm sort of familiar with canon for some characters. I wanted to read comics in the past, but was intimidated by the amount of backstory I'd missed. I watched maybe 10 episodes of the Teen Titans TV series ever, and the only character in Red Hood that I'm familiar with at all is Jason.
I liked the book, but I never knew or cared about the old version of Starfire. I'm perfectly content to start anew.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
