DC Comics Releases Official Statement on Sexual Harassment Allegations

DC Comics finally released an official statement on all the Sexual Harassment Allegations that arose via social media. After having a read, it’s a pretty formal release statement that doesn’t give a shred of hope that DC Comics actually means to do anything. There are no consequences for the allegations that have been brought forward. At least nothing formally announced. Does this help with transparency? Good question, let’s have a look at the statement…

DC Entertainment strives to foster a culture of inclusion, fairness and respect. While we cannot comment on specific personnel matters, DC takes allegations of discrimination and harassment very seriously, promptly investigates reports of misconduct and disciplines those who violate our standards and policies.

As part of our ongoing effort to provide an equitable working environment, we are reviewing our policies, expanding employee training on the topic and working with internal and external resources to ensure that these policies and procedures are respected and reinforced across the company.

 

Yeah. No. Zero real transparency, just cleaned up legal terms. Does this stop me from my boycott? I did say I’d stop when DC made an announcement…

Hmm… Let’s see what Batman thinks about this statement from DC Comics…

Right. Okay so that’s a strong LOOK, perhaps DC Comics needs to take a cue from one of their own characters and actually DO something about the Sexual Harassment Allegations vs this drool statement. I won’t be boycotting DC Comics as that would make me a liar as I did say that I would stop once they issued a statement. That said, I’m going to be VERY fickle with what comics I will talk about and buy from this point DC Comics. VERY!
