Sonic?

DC really is desperate for any kind of audience, aren't they?

Aren't the Superhero Girls one of their most popular non comic franchises?

DC Super Hero Girls makes crazy bank, man.

The dolls are way more popular than you'd think, and toys are where the real money is.

Shouldn't it be when all people may choose what they want to be, not just girls? DC is so moronic for making lines exclusively male-only or female-only. Why can't that have a superhero team with an even gender split (like Teen Titans)?

The fact that wonder woman is wearing pants disturbs me.

Are you really asking that in a world where we differentiate between action figures and dolls?

I haven't seen any evidence that it is OR isn't successful. The closest thing is that article where someone working for DC specluated before release that it *could be* a billion dollar franchise or something.

How does a bunch of fictional characters dictate who someone is "allowed to be" in the first place?
Failing that, how does feminizing the franchise based on stereotypes create "equality"?

>Why can't that have a superhero team with an even gender split (like Teen Titans)?
Whenever I argue this, I get attacked by both feminist and MRAs. It's the same when I argue that you can enjoy a show about characters of the opposite gender. I eventually stopped arguing after it became obvious I'm fighting for something nobody wants.

what the fuck are these bodies??

The people who troll around specifically looking to get triggered, MRA, feminist or otherwise, are not representative of the overall market. Most people would be fine with a split genders show/comic if it was entertaining

>Marvelfags shit up a thread with their shitty company wars
Can’t you cucks stay in your Black Panther containment threads?

>GASP! How dare women have their own superhero team! They should be in the kitchen making sandwiches! Only boys can have their own teams!

>Only boys can have their own teams!
Name one team-based series currently running that only has men on the team.

The difference between the two is that all-male teams are recognized as a flaw that's made up for in other qualities, like good writing, etc.

With all-female teams, not only are they used as the selling point more than half the time, but the inequality is somehow seen as progressive.

That, and there are few teams nowadays that don't have at least a token female character.

I agree. It’s worse than the holocaust. How dare all female teams exist.

Girls are icky

It's the designs they use for LEGO lines that are supposed to appeal more to girls.
You can see it in their Elves line and other older stuff.
I'm looking at a catalogue I still have from 06, but they just have names like #5940 Doll House.

oh sure, red head jumpsuit is my favorite ninja turtle!

...

I could say the same about you.

>posts team from '81

DC is sexist against Males! Why can’t there be animated work focused on Males! This is discrimination!

Why does Wildcat look like the cosplay of Goofy's son? You know the one.

It's kind of relevant, but why can't toy companies learn from Lego? They were on board with gender neutral toys back in the 1980's but have now divided their line due to boys wanting one thing and girls wanting another. It's probably why DC Superhero Girls exist, it's DC accepting girls wanting something different from boys.

I'm not really one of those hardcore feminists or anything but to be fair this is actually a franchise aimed specifically at young girls and not shoehorned feminist agenda in an otherwise apolitical piece of media.

They went out of their way to get third party help from feminists, which is quite pathetic for professional creators.

Toy companies already accept girls and boys like different things. The only people who don't are fags who think gender is a social construct.

It's just progressive pandering to get shekels, nothing more.

That's true though, a lot of them will choose to be camwhores.

We know the bookstore sales are solid from the sales reports: comicsbeat.com/tilting-at-windmills-257-looking-at-bookscan-2016-more-than-10-million-sold/

Guess we'll have the 2017 numbers in another month or so.

But there's stuff hidden like Scholastic sales numbers that we don't have. And I don't know how much Mattel releases publicly about individual brands like that so we don't get toy data. Not sure how people compile DTV sales and shit either.

why is Sonic there

I don't see gender as solely a social construct but I think we should show boys & girls as friends & comrades, not segregating them despite wanting to achieve the same goals.

I'm a girl saying that both boys & girls should be fighting together. It is part of the appeal with Teen Titans, Young Justice, & non-DC Avatar.

Companies only exist to make money. If that's your concern then you need to be teaching or something, but you can't exactly blame DC and their collaborators for doing what gets them the most revenue. They market researched and asked the kids what they wanted and this was the result.

She's been the fifth fighter in every incarnation since 2k3, which was the one immediately after they tried adding a female turtle. Except the Micheal Bay movies, as far as I know.

Beast Boy is pretty prominent in all the material. Barry and Hal also show up in the shorts a lot. It's just focused on the main female characters who have the various dolls they're selling.

>Companies only exist to make money
I agree, people need to stop attaching politics to marketing. These decisions were never about establishing "exclusive spaces" or provoking societal change. It's about raking in the cash. Simple as that.
