Hey Crankies, who where remembers The Hawkeye Initiative? That thing that went viral about putting men in 'empowering poses' usually reserved for women on comic book covers? That started with some Hawkeye fanart by Gingerhaze?

Anyone seen the fanboy tears today that the new She Ra isn't 'sexy enough'? Guess who the showrunner is? It's Gingerhaze! She also did a lot of Marvel and LOTR fan comics a long time ago, before starting her own original comic Lumberjanes.

Aaaaand all the fans in my MCU fandom spaces are too young to remember her massively popular fanart or the Hawkeye Initiative. This is a big thing, but no one knows what I am talking about. I am so happy for her! But I also feel so old and lame right now

I remember the Hawkeye Initiative! I did not realize that was that long ago. I am glad to learn that the person behind it has this new opportunity.

Ok, I am definitely watching the She-Ra reboot now.
(I mean my gecko has aspirations of posing for the Hawkeye Initiative!)

that's awesome! And I only heard about the hawkeye initiative a couple of years ago so it's strange to me that anyone would be too young to remember it XD

I loved the Hawkeye Initiative, it was so fun while it lasted. I was already going to check out She Ra, but now I'm even more sold on it. Thanks! :)

I didn't even think of the fact that the HI was such a while ago now but good that she's getting new opportunities.

I had completely forgotten about HI, and that Gingerhaze was behind it! Definitely didn't come to mind when I heard about the new She-Ra (kinda strange how I just forgot H.I,??? Even though that's what led me to Nimona and following Noelle Stevenson on twitter...)

I remember the Hawkeye Initiative- it was DELIGHTFUL! I'm also a fan of Binki Armour Battle Damage!

I didn't realise the connection to the new She Ra. That is very cool.
