I get what you're saying, but my point is that I hate that she has to be the eye candy by dint of being the only female character there. The fact that this is the standard that the average comic lives up to - where the majority of the male characters are wearing practical, functional outfits for the job at hand and the one woman looks just about ready to go to a goth rave - is appalling in and of itself.
You misread my intent: what I want is better-dressed women with actual character traits. What I don't want is no women at all.
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.
