remember how Mairghread Scott considered one of the greatest achievements of TAAO to be…..a plotline about a gay character brainwashing his crush into thinking they were in a relationship
like she really thought that was the pinnacle of positive representation
remember how Mairghread Scott, an irl Reylo shipper, was blatantly shipping IDW’s most prominent female character with a male character who was overtly threatening to murder her
remember when Mairghread Scott made a beloved gay ship from another continuity canon and then immediately established that half of that ship routinely bullied the other for being disabled
actually let’s just compile these all into one thread
remember when she thought it’d be really cool writing to introduce windblade into the rid cartoon and immediately, IMMEDIATELY, have a semi-onesided rivalry between her and strongarm, the only other woman in the group, who couldn’t stand her and one reason was definitely because sideswipe, that absolutely delightful character, had a crush on windblade?
like remember how this was very necessary and not cliche and sexist writing at all
That Windblade introduction episode in RID cartoon is so UUUGH I thought it was written by some dudebro living in his mom’s basement.
Remember when she acted like it’s all her effort that IDW TF is becoming more LGBT
and women friendly when she frist got the WIndblad mini but in fact it’s James Roberts and John Barber’s hard work, introducing CD/RW as
the first openly canon gay couple in TF comics (if not the whole TF
franchise), writing Arcee as her own character instead
of that pile of transphobic and sexist shit written by Simon Furman, allowing future female transformers character not to be the result of some “failed transgender experiment”. And IDW/Hasbro willing to improve despite not always being
very clear of what they should do, so they decided to lauch a mini series with a female tranformers lead (the first time in the TF comic history) written by woman.
Really, it’s great that things are getting better in the TF franchise and we have more and more good female characters and women in the creative team, but really, it’s not her effort, she just follows it (and often then not giving out cliche at best, ff.net bad fiction at worse “ships”)
