I want you all to think very hard about what female, PoC & queer comics creators have gone through to get where they are, both the ones who fought their way into DC & Marvel and the many more who couldn’t because they spoke up, or were “trouble” and had to carve out indie careers
We shouldn’t have to be this strong, or this silent, just to stay employed.
Male creators, every time you don’t say “hey, there are no female / PoC creators working for this office”, you are complicit. Every time you laugh off the drunken shenanigans of a “rascal”, you are complicit.
Of course you have the luxury of being cowards; we don’t.

“Hey, maybe we shouldn’t make this famous Black woman write extensive tryout scripts when we’d normally just hand off a book like this to any white dude with a single edgy Image miniseries under his belt”
“Hey this woman has won some MAJOR awards and we really need to announce some PoC creators at SDCC; let’s offer her $60 a page”
Y’all ain’t the Yankees of comics. You’re barely even the 1919 White Sox of comics.
