I think there’s some gally1 folks on the Fans For Accessible Conventions Facebook group

Instead of saying something is in God’s hands, say it’s in Grodd’s hands. Because Grodd.

In Grodd we trust.

When I say “diverse voices” in relation to comics, I’m talking about the creative teams, not the characters.

I want to see more people of color, more women, and more LGBTQAI+ people having stories by them - their voices - published and widely distributed. I think this leads to fans having a better, more interesting selection of characters and stories because these creators are drawing from very different life experiences and perspectives. AND I think it is what the industry needs to stay alive. That’s what diversity in comics is.  I think it’s kind of shitty that when I say “diverse voices”, so many assume I mean, “white guys writing superficially diverse characters”. That does not even make sense. Also, I am not a writer. I am a graphic and sequential artist. If you are going to criticize my work, at least take three seconds to find out what the nature of that work is. It’s not like I’ve made that hard to do. 

Chris Jones, y’all. Being a good ally, right there.

Yes, if you’re upset about diverse characters that don’t feel authentic (and you should be pretty much always if you pay any attention), look for more diversity/representation in the creative teams and in editorial. Those are the real voices in comics. Those are where we need the greater diversity. It’s not “diversity for diversity’s sake”. It’s “diversity for better characters and stories”.

I feel just a little bit left out sometimes…

I’m very pro LGBTQAI+, but the horrible troll part of my brain can’t help but point out that there’s a joke about color swatches to be had in here somewhere. Like you get all excited about seeing pride flags only to discover you’re actually just in the paint section of Lowe’s.

(If someone wants to illustrate that, I won’t stop you.)
