This, so much. It was ONE hit during one hell of a mental breakdown (which, people tend to forget, Janet encouraged as it was how she got to marry him... stupid weird seventies). And even THEN, not only HE never blamed her, he blamed himself. There was this AMAZING arc in the West Coast Avengers where he went from suicidal to accepting that he was not his many hero identities, that he was enough as Hank Pym, and that he (and Janet) could move on separately from what had happened (and then he found that his ex-wife was not really dead and... I honestly forgot what happened to that sublot). But he became better. And then, writers obsessed with the status quo, deleted that and I hate it.
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.
