I feel like this is more akin to that situation from a few years back. There was this video game about a post apocalyptic world where you have to break into other people's homes and steal all their stuff. I forget all the details, but there was some controversy over it being sexist (I think one of the mechanics involved killing other player's wives or something like that), and the creator kept saying over and over that the game wasn't intentionally sexist and berating people who thought it was. The point was, much like if we give the most sympathetic read of the comic's intentions, it didn't matter what the intentions of the creator were, the story could be coherently read as a sexist text (as opposed to Kill the Moon, where a closer look at the pro life reading falls apart at the seams).
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.
