Two comic shops ran ads on Facebook to promote an upcoming appearance to their shops of Power Girl artist Amanda Conner. Both ads were removed from Facebook for being “too offensive”.
From Lying in the Gutters:
When asked in an upcoming interview for the column “Shop of Ideas,” Amanda Conner replied, “I don’t think it’s degrading at all. I think that the person they had red flagging that ad probably knows absolutely nothing about comics, they don’t know who the character is because they said it was irrelevant to the ad when it was 100% relevant. They just set themselves up as the morality police, that’s my guess as to the reason she was red flagged. I don’t feel Power Girl’s costume is degrading. I like Power Girl’s costume, I drew it.”
My guess is that whoever red flagged the ad knows quite a bit about comics, they just get easily offended by artwork they deem to be sexist.
