I'm guessing that the short-term results will be a wash; DC's sales will go back to about the same as they were before. The real long term damage is all the old readers who have been turned off of DC forever, all of the new readers who have had all of their stereotypes about comics confirmed, and all the talent who will never work at DC again. That will take longer to play out.

Thrive to spite them
I did the survey and said I bought a title when I hadn't. I was planning on starting to read just 1 title but after what they did I've decided not to.
So, I said that I've always been more of a Marvel fan, but I liked some of the DC characters and was going to use this reboot as a way to get back into DC comics. But with the changes to the female characters it felt like a big "No girls allowed" thing so I was going to oblige them and spend my money elsewhere. Like maybe spend more money at Marvel. (Not that I'm reading comics, it got to expensive because I kept buying more and more titles and back issues).
After the survey I realized it feels like the female characters went from being well rounded, interesting people to Real Dolls.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I haven't seen tonight's episode, but that's been my impression.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The new DC is crisis free. Or something.

Young Justice: An episode with Captain Marvel, and The Brain, and Monsieur Mallah, and Tawky Tawny, should have been much more fun that it that, right?

Hmm. Finally saw last week's Young Justice. Blonde kid Artemis surprised me. I would have expected bleach.
Interesting episode. Seemed too short, which I guess means it was fast-paced. So now I wonder if Red Tornado was actually the mole. Unless they just realized Artemis was way too obvious and are trying to psych us out some.
