Quite frankly it’s really annoying when people make nothing out of something. If there are not any women that fit the criteria, then they shouldn’t be hired. Unless you find evidence that it was a sexist move then it shouldn’t be considered one. If I were him I would have gotten pissed off and aggressive too. You don’t know these people, you don’t know their credentials. You’re obviously calling him a sexist for hiring people who fit the job description, and don’t fill the gender quota. He’s clearing asking, “Oh hey you, Fine. You don’t like who I hire, who should I hire? Should I hire a woman just so I can keep my percentage up, or should I hire someone because of their credentials?”
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS REBLOG. Frankly, I’m surprised someone didn’t say something along these lines earlier. But yes, there are actually no women that fit the criteria. None! Why hire any of the women listed here when you can hire Rob Liefeld (genius artist!), Adam Beechen (dazzling writer!), or Tony Daniel (amazing writer!!).
Oh wait. :|
I mean, I just don’t understand where you’re coming from. You honestly believe there are no women they could’ve hired? Especially when some of the men attached to the reboot frequently produce less than impressive work? And in any case, no, there is no reason for the co-publisher of DC Comics to get that aggressive with a fan at a fan convention, even if he didn’t agree with the person asking the question.

Haha, I clicked on liiveforliife’s tumblr saying to myself “10 bucks says this person’s 19 years old” and the first thing I see in their user description is
“Sophomore in college.”
I guess I owe myself a tenner. What is it about college sophomores?
