I don’t know how much merit this has but I’ve heard this theory before
I had heard that this is also why the excellent Thundercats reboot was cancelled
“I’d rather cancel the show than have too many girls watch” is a very weird point of view
===============================
Does it ever feel like Warner Bros. thinks girls are icky? Here’s a story that may lend credence to that theory......
Dini goes on to mention how the Young Justice stories were much more teenager-oriented but the trend is to hit younger audiences with the newer shows.
He said, “They’re all for the boys, we do not want the girls! I mean, I’ve heard executives say this, you know, not where I am but at other places, saying like, ‘We do not want girls watching these shows.”
When Smith pointed out that was a strange move because, well, women are 51% of the population, Dini said, “They don’t buy toys. The girls buy different toys.”.........
