Comics have had an exaggerated depiction of humanity, period. That’s both good and bad and it cuts across gender and culture. The hyperbole makes for good stories, but nuance is lost, and it paints in broad (teehee) strokes. I mean, because from what I’m gathering here, you believe that comics only show a fair and

And yet Simone (who I loathe) didn’t change her outfit. Because there is more to the character than that. And, as I said, if you or anyone else thinks that the costume is the sum total of the character, that onus is on you.

Also, the concept of something of value/worth that can only be given or obtained by those that

It’s almost as if sex were part of her character! But seriously, if you want to reduce a woman to just tits and ass, that’s all on you. Most RS fans are fans because of more than that, but maybe shallow is all you can muster?

*sigh* Somebody creates something, they create it for one of two reasons: they create it to be consumed or used by an intended audience or they create for themselves. The “sexism” that you so blithely point out is a “result” of that: the creators of various heroes said, “I want to make this idealized thing that

Darick Robertson? You mean this guy? Are you SURE he’s African American? I mean, he might have some African American in him, but just by looking I’d have to say that he’s probably of Caucasian descent, primarily. If you have sources that say otherwise, then by all means. Not, really, that it matters in this case or

Are we getting new female heroes? I mean, there’s Guillotine, but...who else? I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head. Then again, I’m pretty done with the superhero genre, so...eh.

Anyway, the reason I mentioned Marvel (and one Image character) was because I don’t like DC.

Also: I used to like Squirrel

I guess you forgot Storm, Jubilee, Jean Grey, Warbird, Tigra, Wasp, Angela, Sif, Witchblade, Marrow, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Gamora, Crystal, Rogue, Valyrie, Sharon Carter, Misty Knight, Elektra, Spectrum, the Bloodstone girl that isn’t as cool as her brother, Emma “The Bitch” Frost, Moondragon, and we could this

You know, if you are going to bring up Red Fucking Sonja, then I should point out her male counterpoint doesn’t get the benefit of a top OR metal.


...ever since a mysterious utterance from manipulative super-spy Nick Fury left the Son of Odin unworthy to lift his magic hammer...

What are you talking about? Apparently any dipshit can pick up a mallet and gets called Thor now, so it’s not like it’d be vacant for long. I can name a half dozen people off the top of my head than can pick up the damn thing whenever they want.

I’m just so, so glad I’m moving away from Marvel and DC now. Yikes. This is gonna be a trainwreck.

Except when some feminists say it is? But NAFALT, right? See, here’s the thing about belonging to an ideology and basing your identity on it, ESPECIALLY when it has no way of policing itself: you are just as good as your worst member.

See, remember how gamers are suddenly...what was it...oh, right white, racist,

My friend a few years ago told me he was giving up on superhero comics because they just weren’t doing it for him anymore. I love superhero comics, but...I think it’s time to give up the ghost. There’s just so little content, so little that’s new. They are just going to keep playing musical identity chairs with

You know, the term “stepped on” in relation to coke is supposed to just refer to quality and/or purity, it’s not something you are supposed to actually do to it. So wasteful.

Take heart in Allison Road, bruh! It is the Way and the Light.

As I said, people can see things differently, doesn’t mean they see things that are there, and it doesn’t mean they see things that are correct. That goes for me just as well as it does anyone else.

Which argument, exactly, is lazy? I can shore up anything I may have missed, because I have that capability as someone

I run into people on the internet who make bad, knee-jerk reactions to things to, and just because it makes someone happy doesn’t make it good or right. Making a change for the sake of convenience or sales (and that’s all this is) is not a good precedent. Retcons are, generally, met with disdain because they very

Or, hear me out, let’s go with option C) the whole thing is a fucking debacle, there are awful people on all sides doing shady shit, there is so much muckraking and shit flinging that the notion of “truth” and “objectivity” are nebulous concepts at best and IF the resulting memoirs of ONE PERSON’S perspective WHICH IS

DO NOT DISAGREE WITH OUR LADIES AND SAVIORS!

Oh, man. I am going to need my stomach pumped after I make a drinking game out of whatever this celluloid abortion/hackjob is gonna be. I can’t wait!
