I don't want to beat this dead horse much more. The coloring book that Docucopies chose not to print was handled by a local Las Vegas printer. It sold very well at Anime Expo last weekend.
I'm glad that Docucopies decided to clarify their position on what they will or will not print in this blog post. However, I take issue with this reply they placed in their comments:
"Regardless of when the term "disturbing" was first used, it should be clear that the woman who used it felt that way before it was divulged that all characters were male, otherwise she would not have raised issue with the job in the first place."
This is not true. Lynn called the pictures disturbing after I told her they were all male. I posted our email exchange in the order it happened in the May 27th entry about this.
There's some misuse of terms going on. Slander is untrue spoken statements that harms the reputation of a person or business. When these statements are in written form (such as comments to a blog post) it's called libel. Harmful statements are only slander or libel when they are untrue.
