Girls Matter!
Hey guys, some of you might have heard already about Paul Dini (writer of Batman the Animated series, Batman Beyond, etc) going in depth about the mentality of executives a few weeks back, and how it got beloved shows like Young Justice and Green Lantern cancelled, because the majority of the audience were girls. They believe that girls do not buy toys, and thus, the shows are not worth their time. Now, I could go into a rant about the MANY things wrong about that mentality, but suffice it to say, they’re wrong. Girls matter. They’re part of the audience who enjoy and support these shows and these characters, and they do buy the merchandise. If they’re not buying the action figures, it’s probably more to do with the lack of girl characters among them, or your poor marketing *coughYJcough*. Regardless, even if that were true, you KNOW you have an audience there, and instead of reaching out to include them, to cater to them like you do the boys…you choose to ignore them? To consider them less? Again, that is wrong. So to show our support, we decided to add this piece below, made by our artist Red, in Episode 5 Part 2 (it’ll make sense when you see it), it’s just a nod, but if it helps even a little, then it’ll be worth it.
One thank you two you are right the amount of girls that watch shows and read superhero comics is pretty big. And this is excluding those girls that are just into them because they think the characters are cute and yes some girls do that but girls are actually into comics and superhero’s because the characters are well established and/or the story line and plot interest them. Saying that girls don’t matter in the comic book world is like saying bronies don’t actually like My Little pony. The fact is you in all honesty cannot base things on gender.
I watched the Episode 5 and I cannot find this >.<
