Letter of Leaving DC regarding the Babsgirl reboot

[nevermore999]

My letter to DC Comics. A little overlong, but actually way shorter than it was before. The one I sent to the letter column was slightly shorter, I will send this one via snail mail, though if there's any suggestions for editing, please let me know. It will be sent Friday. A lot of it is just the post I just did edited and reformatted.

To whom it

I'm a straight white aging (34) male who strongly agrees with this letter.

I'm a bisexual white 34-year-old male who has decided that his feelings on this issue (mostly in agreement with this letter) can be nicely summed up by the following image from a Botchamania video:

Wait, what?

They're doing what?

Fuck, I stop checking my LJ for a few weeks, and DC decides to destroy its last shred of artistic integrity.

I agree with pretty much everything that you have to say about why this is a terrible, degrading idea. (Plus a few problems you didn't mention, like "Why should I bother following characters if there's no character growth, because they're going to be eternally stuck where they were in the 1970s?")

If they go through with this, then I see no reason to continue giving DC any of my money, time or interest. I'm done.

I love this Batgirl issue with Bryan Q miller and steph brown as batgirl. It is a really excelent book,I start to read comics because batgirl catch me.
Oracle is so bigger than batgirl in Barbara life.

Now we don't know what happens with Steph

Political correctness, nothing. Oracle is just plain cooler than Batgirl, especially when it comes to character and diverse cast roles - diverse not as in "she represents the handicapped", but as in "she's a not-to-be-fucked-with computer maven who complements the other heroes nicely". (Don't know enough about the other characters to comment.)
