"We sell overly sexualised covers for our female heroes because it's what people want to buy." Really? That's your conceit? Because that's the same thing drug dealers and gun stores use. "People want to buy it, let's sell it." Sometimes, Tom, you have to sit and think about what you're releasing. Decency over money? That too difficult for you?

I think that there’s a world of difference between producing art and selling drugs or guns.
And you don’t have to like all art. That’s kinda the buy-in. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have validity or shouldn’t be made.
I think anybody who doesn’t like that particular cover is completely entitled to their opinion. And they’re under no obligation to purchase or support it.
Everything else, though, starts to sound like a slippery slope of censorship to me, and so I recoil from it on principle.

Saying that sexism sells is not a good excuse for that cover. It’s actually more offensive than the cover itself. Because it shows a lack of understanding of how serious sexism is, and how it impacts women in real life.

So far we women have been told that Captain America isn’t for us, and now Spider-woman isn’t for us. What books are?
