DC, WTF? (Chapter 1,495,278 In A Series)

Sep 05, 2013 23:46

I'm not a tumblr user, but I occasionally go visiting there just to see what's happening. Ironically, I wasn't searching for anything comics-related when I stumbled on this gem courtesy of Xiao Mao:

DC Says: Draw An Awesome Enough Naked, Suicidal Harley Quinn And We Might Hire You![bangs head on keyboard] There's no actual picture of Harley in ( Read more... )

harley quinn/harleen quinzel, dc comics, misogyny, sexism

Now that's hilarious hijinks, for sure! Suicide and boobs! *headdesk*

Even with the screencap, I honestly thought this was a joke at first. It was the suit of raw chicken that got me. How do you even draw that?!

I imagine that you'd need to be, or have, a really good colorist. To make sure that the chicken pieces didn't look like clay and/or pieces of a White-skinned humanoid.

[sigh]

Apparently the braintrust at DC have decided the initials stand for Disgusting Creeps.

As that link points out, it's an open submission.

And DC is supposedly going to look at ALL submissions.

cleome45 September 6 2013, 15:49:30 UTC

Yes, and....?

aaron_bourque September 7 2013, 19:48:21 UTC

Well. You could put all sorts of stuff in your submission.

And... cleome45 September 7 2013, 22:25:48 UTC

...the manly men at DC could have specifically requested Harley doing something --any number of things, in fact-- that didn't involve being buck naked and about to die gruesomely by her own hand.

Again, what's your point?

well they may be looking for new talent:

srsly, fuck DC

That's what all of us Fortysomethings want from "our" industry, doncha' know. Naked women killing themselves: YAY! Clothed women having a wedding: BOOOOO!!

[rolleyes]

I am so damn sick and tired of these corporate assholes hiding behind me to excuse their own bullshit attitudes: We have to do this because it's what our fans want!!!11 No, it's not what this Fortysomething wants, you money-grubbing twits. Not that you ever asked.

There really isn't any reason for me to ever buy a comic directly from DC ever again. I wouldn't want to support a fast food place or department store whose owners had this crap attitude, so why should I support DC?
