So, he gets pissy abut a french comic award, cause it does not honor women?
I did a quick wikipedia research on it. Here is what I got about Le Grand Prix de la Ville D'Angouleme
1. The award is handed out since the mid 70s.
2. It is only given to comic artists who are still alive and because it is a french award, it was given mostly to french artists anyway or rather the most attention is given to them originally. And for comparison: European artists are more willing to do social satire/commentary in their comics than american ones. Nothing against the american industry, just an observation.
3. While the award also goes to people who are from other nations (Bill Watterson won it in 2014), the number of foreign
winners is very low. Will Eisner, Crumb, Spiegelmann and the guy who did Akira come off as the other non-french winners I can identify at first. And guess what? All of them involved in social commentary in comic form.
4. It is a "lifetime achievement" award with the following criteria to even earn their attention: Work for at least 20 years in the industry and make sure most of what you produce is not generic garbage, but social, not tumblr inspired, commentary. And no offense against women here, but can anyone name one successful woman who as a writer and artist has created a socially challenging comic?
5. In 1982 the female artist Claire Bretecher won the award. Bretecher worked in comics since 1963 as an artist with Rene Goscinny, co-creator of Asterix, did feministic and social comics since 1969, got her own comic series that satirized french society and the feminism movement in germany and france between 1975 and 1980 and did many other(minor in part) things after 1982, till she retired in the early 2000s.
And here is a tadbit of information for you about europe: Female comic artists? They barely exist in France.
I am not saying that there aren't some working here and there and we have also a handful of female artists who do their own, more comedic thing nowadays. But I can't name one who has done really anything socially challenging or more artistically over the years. So no reason to hand out the award to a woman as off current.
And nothing agains the likes of Gail Simmone, but as long as the woman is not leaving the mainstream market and goes to france, she is not going to get an award either, even if her writing isn't bad.
On a plus side, Squirrel Girl will never be awarded by the French.
collaborate with all sorts of other people - and enthusiastically promote the work of artists whose stuff they admire.
