I'm not sure how many of you are members of/familiar with the group :icongothamartistsguild:, but I felt I should bring to your attention certain blatantly homophobic behavior by the group's administrators.

First, from the group's rules (bolding mine, capslock theirs):

We will NOT accept:
BATMAN OR OTHER CHARACTERS OF SAME SEX KISSING EACH OTHER. Stay true to the character.

--Anything with nudity.(breasts exposed)
--Anything pornographic. (goes without saying)
--Anything with heavy violence. Such as large amounts of blood, brutality, etc.
--Fan fiction must be in English or a version sent to us in English so we can read it first.
---Acceptable for under 13 so no heavy violence and NO Mature Content.

So, a net ban on slash content, no matter how low the rating, hiding behind a mask of 'IC', in spite of not applying the 'stay true to character' creed to non-canon het pairings, and making no allowances for canon slash.

Now, as for how this came up -- gothamartistsguild.deviantart.…

TL; DR, how is Batman in a dress offensive? It's not.

As much as I'd love to be a troll and spam them with Batman/Robin, Batwoman/Question, and crossdressing genderqueer funtimes, I simply suggest that you leave and unwatch this group.

Links/reposts/signal boosts are all very much welcomed.

(About comic books and other things of little consequence. Updated sporadically.)

Tim Drake is my least favorite Robin. I find his portrayal in canon uncompelling and his ukefication in fanon annoying as hell.

Jason Todd is my favorite Robin, and he has every right to hate his family over the way they've treated him.

The Joker is my least favorite villain. He's overused and overrated, and I hate the fandom glamorization/idealization of his relationship with Harley Quinn, because the man is a mass murdering psychopath. This goes double for all you idiots who write Joker/OC fic.

Grant Morrison is a moron who can't do decent characterization to save his life, and regularly sacrifices it in favor of gimmicky, convoluted plots. I hate what he's doing now, especially to Jason, and I can't wait for him to get the hell off the Bat-books.

Frank Miller is a misogynist.

I already think the new Batman movie is going to be awful based on the casting choices. Anne Hathaway is a terrible choice for Catwoman -- excuse me Selina Kyle. She can't pull off femme fatale, and I guess it was too much to hope for a woman in the Nolanverse who wasn't a bland, lifeless brunette. Also, whitewashing Bane? Not cool. >:|

By replying to this post, you accept the possibility that you will be mocked mercilessly.

Stolen from :iconawesomeblossompossum: I only needed to do the sketches, but the meme looked fun.

Choose a fandom: DC Comics, since I have it on the brain.

1. The first character I fell in love with:
Batman. Way, waaaay back when my dad introduced me to the Adam West TV show.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Green Arrow. Cue the "Who?" from non-comics nerds.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't:
I'm not that huge a Green Lantern fan. Any of them.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates:
Jason Todd. Ie, the second Robin, who non-readers don't know and comic readers voted to kill.

5. The character I would shag anytime:
Connor Hawke. Apparently, I like my men unattainable.

6. The character I'd want to be like:
Black Canary. Both in attitude, and able to pull off fishnets decades from now.

7. The character I'd slap:
Oliver Queen. But only sometimes.

8. Favorite character:
Green Arrow

9. Who are your five favorite characters?
Green Arrow
Mia Dearden

Impulse

10. Who are your five least favorite characters?
Lady Shiva
Ra's al Ghul

11. Which character are you most like?
Kyle Rainer. Artsy and unsure of myself. Please don't fridge my boyfriend.

12. What is your deep, dark secret regarding this?
While I read and love all the weird, cracky slash that comes out of this fandom... my fave pairing is canon het.

13. A pairing that I love:
Ollie/Dinah

14. A pairing that I despise:
Batman/any Robin. No pedosquick, plz.

15. What are your five favorite things about your fandom?
There's so MUCH of it.
Kevin Smith's run on Green Arrow
Well written villains.
Slash subtext you don't need goggles for
Fabulous costumes

When Smallville fans wander in.
People thinking it's for kids.

The misc Hate Dumbs (anti-Batman and anti-Superman, I'm looking at you.)
When someone from a Hatedom winds up an official writer. *sigh*
