Gail Simone appears to have some Issues.

In addition to the tweet above — which reads “All those damn attractive Chinese people with their delicious food and wonderful culture! #Iambadatracism” — there’s also this to contend with:

“I don’t care WHY you killed The Wasp, I’m just glad you DID @BRIANMBENDIS. #womenwhodeserverefrigerators”

(from remnantof as well.)

I don’t know much about Gail Simone, not being a comics reader. But these tweets tell me that I wouldn’t trust her with characters of color and would give any female characters under her pen the serious side eye.

Wikipedia says she’s the current writer for Wonder Woman.

………

Guess I won’t be reading that anytime soon.

having not yet found the tweet in question, i offer up this gross example of exoticism in which Simone gets a form of racial oppression completely right, and pretty much sums up how i and others feel she deals with people and characters of color.

[tweet by Gail Simone: “All those damn attractive Chinese people with their delicious food and wonderful culture! #Iambadatracism” — Actually, not so much. :( ]

It’s here.

Oh, sorry, I think remnantof means this tweet about #womenwhodeserverefrigerators. And all this fallout from it and other things Simone’s done. ::sigh::

Oh.

OK bedtime for me then! ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
