but if you must have this convo here I'll just say straight up. That cover would never be done w/male heros.
She's CRYING for christ's sake, she looks like a victim, not a hero. That's what the uproar is over. I gotta say, I agree too. I wouldn't want to see Spiderman crying in fear from Sandman - would you?

horrific halucinations and dreams to the point where they are sobbing and crying. This has happaned to batman and his allies several times in many comics.
The Joker has used his own version of this and has hired scarecrow before.
You know what fuck this, we are talking about fictional characters here.

Was it indicated if she was drugged or not? For the record I like the cover and I agree with the decision to pull it but you guys are claiming stuff that you can not prove.
and we are still talking about fictional characters

"The industry of HQ has always been sexist. It is important to review our values and our positions, "he said. "We need to learn to listen, empathize with anyone who has an opinion different from yours. If put in place of the other and consider. Discussions on the internet tend to turn childish tantrums, on one side or the other ".
"A magazine geared toward the teenage female audience should not have a heavy cover such as this. Independent of the question of who is right or wrong, that I did not fit the proposal that it should have, "said the artist. "I don't think a magazine that has the intention to elevate the female self-esteem should have an image which might suggest otherwise".

...when Brenden Fletcher and Cameron Stewart took over and they redirected to a lighter tone and younger audience.
Here's what Stewart had to say about the cover...
Cameron Stewart
@cameronMstewart · 1 day ago The cover was not seen or approved by anyone on Team Batgirl and was completely at odds with what we are doing with the comic.
