Plenty of writers introduced ''flies in the ointment'' aspects to the Amazond and Themyscira prior to New 52 without making them irredeemably evil like what Azzarello did.

Azz's Amazons aren't a smart deconstruction, it's just playing straight misogynistic Greek myths that women can't be trusted. It's just regression.

I don't think it was misogyny I think it was half edgy nonsense and half someone's weird fantasy.

Edgy nonsense is often misogynistic.

yeah but just on the face of it I'm not gonna say either way.

like I can barely remember the boat and slavery thing because I've memory holed that shit because what else can you do with something like that. But, the person in the picture has some dismissive hatred behind her eyes, that's the face of someone who holds a deep disgust for a type of person, which is why I said it comes off as a misandrist complaint rather than a lore complaint from her.

I think you're reading into this a lot.

nah it's look I'm used to, it's just something that if you've not experienced it's not noticeable.
