    Almost got a new apartment nailed down, I think. I'm scared about moving to Halifax (and I still don't feel financially stable enough to go through with it), but I wanna do this.

    So in other DC Comics news, DC was going to release a wildly inappropriate "Killing Joke"-inspired variant cover for their ongoing Batgirl series, which has been bringing in new crowds by trying to be more fun and aimed at younger female audiences instead of older male ones.

     

    Flash forward three days and DC pulls the cover because for some reason a lot of controversy has erupted over DC promoting its book using a cover based on a story where their fun feminist heroine gets stripped naked and permanently paralyzed. DC retracts the cover, citing "threats of violence," but neglects to mention that the threats of violence it referred to weren't against the creator, but against the people who objected to the cover, because of course they fucking were. It's also become clear that the creative team, including the guy who drew the cover, weren't happy with it, with rumour being that DC pushed to make it much worse than it originally was.

     

    DC somehow managed to turn doing the right thing (eventually) into an excercise in idiocy, because I guess that's just what they do now.

    Yeah, I'm not sure where the "Pokémon isn't relevant to kids" thing is coming from. Pokémon is the second-best selling video game franchise of all time after Mario, and it likely makes more money than any other game-central franchise in the world given how much merchandise there is.

    Man, I forgot how insufferable the camping trip in Persona 4 is. Not giving the player any option but to put up with or encourage Brosuke's casual homophobia and sexism is just the worst, and I really detest how they designed and wrote Hanako as being both incongruously grotesque and completely deserving of all the crap that happens to her. The whole bit is this huge spike of immaturity in an otherwise remarkably mature game. The worst part is that all I got for it was one lousy Expression bonus.
