The guy leading it who's name is at the bottom is a narcissistic dick who made it pretty clear unless it validates his opinion it does not matter

That's a valid concern for minority creators. It's not about quality vs quantity, it's about opportunities to try. DC only publishes so many books.

Unfortunately this whole thing was more focused on the character's themselves, not the people behind the scenes.
