        The homosexual editors at DC dropped the ball hard there.
        >Jones also too slow for a monthly and got caught tracing.
        It's true she got caught tracing but did that really kill her DC career? Greg Land traces and still is fine. I guess the combo of tracing+being extremely slow and not meeting her deadlines killed her. Land is famous for always hitting deadlines.
        >then she was from Iowa or some shit
        This was fricking stupid. She should have been a native Amazonian raised in the Amazon, not an American on vacation in Brazil. Yara has a great design but everything else about her is shit-tier.

              It’s because they gave her leeway to take her time to work on her book, and she just never delivered. And then the tracing thing came out. I don’t think she’s black;isted, but they aren’t rushing to give her jobs because that’s a one-two punch on an artist who hasn’t really built a fan base. Seemingly, they’ve already ditched her catwoman costume already

      If you want us to like a brazilian character you gotta make sure to specifically promote said character extensively in Brazil (Zé Carioca, his debut animation had him voiced by one of our greatest musicians), or make them interesting enough so we will actively look for works they appear in even though it isn’t officially available down here yet (Eddy Gordo from Tekken, although nowadays Tekken has been officially released in Brazil for over 14 years now).

      We aren’t easily pleased with representation appeal, many Latinos aren’t actually, we love Saint Seiya and Dragonball for frick’s sake, I wasn’t wondering where was the Brazilians in Goku or Seiya’s world (although we have Aldebaran in the latter’s case, a massive jobber).

      Why would they dislike her? She was a character that just happened to be Brazilian and actually used some of the lore. IE diversity done right.

            I actually really like Donna's origin where she's an orphan saved by wonder woman and raised by the Amazons. It's the kind of stuff that sounds sort of fairy tale like and what a girl what find fun. Even before crisis it became convoluted with her being sold into a trafficking ring- which is too fricking dark.

              DC seems to have gone back to that origin in that Tales of the Titans mini, and Phil Jimenez keeps teasing something on twitter and instagram that included a pic of her first family so I think we're getting a oneshot or Titans annual about Donna's origin again.

              No. Brazilian fans were mad that she ended up being from Idaho, spoke spanish instead of portuguese, and was basically a white girl.

              >Yara Flor is written either as a White Girl from the United States (as in Future State: Wonder Woman) or as a Spanish speaking Latina girl (as in Future State: Superman/Wonder Woman), but never as a Brazilian girl who grew up speaking Portuguese.
              >Why doesn’t she sound like a Brazilian girl? Because she’s from Idaho, the same state as Jones herself. Before that, the only real thing keeping the character from achieving greatness, in my opinion, was her voice. A skilled writer who knew how to write an Indigenous girl could turn her into one of the best and most culturally important characters DC has ever had. In the aforementioned piece run by Polygon, Joelle talks about how she felt an inaccessibility in relating to Diana as a character despite loving her, due to the fact that she’s a beautiful goddess. The irony of that is through creating Yara, Jones unintentionally translated that exact same feeling by creating a character who’s almost Brazilian and who Brazilian and Indigenous girls will ONLY almost be able to identify with.
              >Her ethnicity is being treated as a mystery besides being played for aesthetics. Her mother is a Themysciran Amazon and her father is a “River God”, and she’s going to Brazil to rediscover her origins after growing up in Themyscira and Idaho. It’s infuriating how the character isn’t allowed to be herself, and how they’ll go as far as possible to make her relatable to the White audience instead of committing to what makes her unique.

              and tbh I agree with them because if the writer attached couldn't try to research brazilian shit DC should've at least attached a co writer who was brazilian because Yara was so... incomplete. They wanted the brownie points of having an indigenous latina with barely-there-brazilian-folklore but didn't want her to actually be a unique character.
