I truly hope she has realized how she helped cause the destruction of the industry. I love the Hearher Antos clip of “if you don’t like my politics, don’t buy my book” only to talk about years later how comic book shops are closing and the industry is hurting.
Gail Simone annoys me because she was the one to whine about “fridging” and acted as if no stories existed where a woman seeks to avenge the death of a husband, boyfriend, brother, father, etc. I think she also shares some blame for the agenda of crapping on male fans and pushing women into comics despite the data showing they don’t have the same interest level as males. They could’ve very easily made some comic book like Twilight to appeal to a female audience.
Anyway, I hope she has truly learned her lesson.
Hm, let's look that up.

Losing the will to live at this point.
So basically she exclusively writes female centric comics, often riding on the coattails of bigger names, almost only ever writes supplementary characters that have spun off in some way from something far more recognisable, and going by the publication dates of her entire works hasn't published anything since The Variants that ran from March 2022 to December 2022.
She wrote two of the best episodes of Justice League Unlimited... which admittedly were fairly female-centric ones. But that's all I know her for, really.
