THIS! And sadly it never seems to come up in these articles or half the discussions in comments on these articles :(
EXACTLY! And as you pointed out his girlfriend he felt the need to defend is freaking Wonder Woman?! Really? Wonder Woman can't hold her own against Dr. Light and therefore needs to be protected by Superman which comes in the form face melting...
LOL I can imagine dude. Good work on the Kotaku article regarding the sticker debacle. I would have engaged myself but the rage has made me impotent :(
Oy... at this point you are talking in circles and how exactly do you know that the people enjoying Azzarello's WW run outnumber the people who do not? Sales of the book have been dropping steadily, that IS a fact, one that you just write off to 'entropy'. From what I've seen on various forums and comment sections on…
Yes she has existed longer than she became a feminist icon, my point is that she wouldn't have become that icon if it wasn't for her mythos. Much like Batman would be totally unrecognizable and would arguably be a different character if his parents didn't meet their untimely end in the way that they did the same goes…
LOL You think Diana's mythos was a front for a softcore bondage comic and that was all there is to it? Oh you sweet summer child. There is a reason she has been a feminist icon for decades and it has everything to do with that mythos that you seem to feel can be easily brushed aside.
But that's my point, in order to make people like WW who wouldn't give her the time of day before Azzarello had to fundamentally change the character by gutting her origin so she is no longer what she was created to be. What you refer to as her 'weird little mythology' is fundamental to her character and what she was…
Yeah...no. I'm glad that people are reading Wonder woman, but the Nu52 version of Diana is Wonder Woman in name only as far as I'm concerned and I'm not the only fan of the character that feels that way. The change in her origin story alone completely nullifies what she was meant to represent and what her purpose was…
Here is a link explaining what Ten Earth Imps is talking about http://www.themarysue.com/disney-merida-… they heard the outrage over the change but they're still sticking to their guns unfortunately. I'm hoping the petition continues to gain steam. I HATE the redesign and feel it goes against Merida's character and…
I have to agree. I don't dislike Beyonce but some peoples placing of her as some kind of feminist icon is rather perplexing.
I really liked this article and I thought Lindy's take down of Temptation was truly fabu but I think yvanehtnloj is correct. Jez really should get a POC view on this (and in general), even if its just a guest article and the writer isn't regular/permanent Jez staff. I love Jezebel, I read it pretty much every day…
LOL you win the Internets for using the word 'steez' that almost wiped out the rage I was feeling because of this article. Thank you for the small rage reprieve.
It will be heartbreaking for her to be separated from the people she knows as family but whether it will be traumatizing for her in the long run we don't know because neither of us can see into her future adult heart. Being able to group up surrounded by her culture and tribe will undoubtedly be a benefit however in…
It is cruel and the adoptive family is not, from what I can see, at fault at all but unfortunately it may be necessary that the little girl be removed and places with either a Native American adoptive family or the father because of the alleged violation of the ICWA and the need to make sure that it is enforced to the…
I'm sorry but I disagree. It's heart wrenching for the adoptive parents and for the child if it is decided that she should be with her father or adopted by Native American parents however this law was put into place to protect Native American people and their culture and Veronica is Native American so it could be…
Yeah that's the other thing that really bothers me about this. It seems the father disputed the adoption almost immediately but it took two years for the case to be heard and that is ridiculous.
Unfortunately it seems that the ICWA was NOT followed properly this is why this poor child and her adoptive family could be torn apart. It is extremely sad but there IS a good reason.
Awesome on you for trying to be as informed as possible and do things the right way on your journey to adopt, I sincerely wish you the best of luck dude! :) You bring up some very valid point that I think some in the comments either do not realize or are allowing their initial emotional reactions to gloss over. There…
I get what you're saying and I don't think that the father should necessarily get custody back. However The Cherokee Nation also has a vested interest and a legal stake in this case that cannot be ignored just because the father is a moron. As you said, the risk of Native American children losing their ethnic…
