…I still routinely see that some people, of all genders, don’t pay attention to a feminist or female positive message unless it comes from a man. That’s messed up.
And some people, of all genders, don’t pay attention to transfeminist or trans woman positive messages at all.
I leave everyone present to draw their own conclusions.
Not sure if that’s aimed at me, but I am in fact working on this as we speak.

Wow, I was checking up to see what the theories were on the DC character who will be outed and stumbled upon a message board thread where they were discussing it.
One poster said that they liked seeing lgbtq characters, it was a big part of why they read comics, and they enjoyed the polyamorous marriage proposal in Secret Six.
This was just one of the responses:
“You’re looking only at the surface of it. Look at the context. Scandal Savage is a horrible, horrible person just like all the other members of the Secret Six. Sure they did some heroic things, but that was to fulfill their own personal agendas or thought that something was too heinous even for them.
Scandal murdered, she arranged assassinations, she stole, she took drugs, she partook in all sorts of villainous activity to fulfill her own personal needs. She hooked up with Liana simply because she looked like Knockout. She refused to make a rational decision regarding her love life like an adult would. She screwed over Liana in the end by going to jail. She associated herself with a bunch of other bad people. And she did nothing to work towards repenting for her sins. Seriously how can you not say that Scandal Savage is not a bad person? There is no good side to her.
There is just nothing truly positive about the polyamorous marriage that Scandal initiated. Liana now has to share a Scandal with a woman she has never even met. Scandal is in jail and has no way of having a true relationship with Liana. Her friends acted in joyous celebration instead of acting in the pure shock and horror that a true friend should have. Scandal’s decision to have the both of them shows how immature she is. And she really only loved Liana simply because of the way she looked, she never moved on past Knockout.”
I’m sorry, but what the hell?
What book has THIS person been reading?
“How to be a dummy for dummies”, from the sounds of it.
It’s such a weird, mean interpretation of what it means to be poly, as well. As if poly people don’t get enough bullshit already.
I shake my head. Once you put a story out there, it belongs to the readers, but this interpretation is so skewed and sad.
