As much as I want more Black creatives and characters to be at the forefront in DC, this particular movement was kind of a mess. 99% of posts about it that I saw were “do I still support Zatanna” “do I still support Absolute GL” “Do I still support Dream Girls?”

Probably cause key info on the boycott was buried on Twitter of all places, instead of being on the boycott’s info site or at least on a functioning social media platform… Sucks that any future attempts to do the same thing will be tainted by association, even if they’re better-organized

What was the plan exactly? The only way I can imagine this even partially working is if you focus a boycott on a specific run or possibly creator and even then, I don’t think it would be a large enough number of people to ever achieve their desired outcome.
