God, I hope most of us don't.

What you don't seem to be getting is that these were isolated incidents, as you yourself point out; what women deal with is not isolated at all.

Not a 'latent rapist', perhaps, but certainly "Schrödinger's Rapist."

Obviously. There's also women/minorities being put in their place by more talented-but-tortured white dudes. There's actually a whole range of angry-white-dude-acceptable programming that could have filled this tournament and probably made a lot of people much happier.

"Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes" for the win, motherfucker!

"Time of Death" or "Suicide Squad" for me. Indeed, "Time of Death" is probably my pick for the series' best episode to date. But then, I think ARROW is… not very good, even at its best. It's one of those shows I just don't get on functionally any level.

Over at Image or other creator-owned places, it has become typical for a team to do a few months on, a month (or two) off. Marvel and DC don't see that as an option; they need to put out a certain number of books each month. Consequently, they regularly utilize fill-in artists or rotating teams.

I disagree; the first artist they had, Javier Pulido, did absolutely AMAZING work. They're willing to put good people on good books, even if those books don't sell at superstar levels.

Just to repeat: Never, ever preorder.

Let's not be ridiculous. Batman is obviously a power bottom.

Oh, apologies. No, I meant that it was typically reductive of the female role in comics to have a woman's rape end up being about pretty much all the men in her life, but never herself.

Why is it a problem for the book to ignore the female character who actually got raped in favor of the way the big strong menfolk use the sexual assault to be horrified about someone learning about their secret identities?

They are. But part of the problem is that it treats the violent rape of a long-running female character as the impetus for a moral crisis among the Justice Lads. And it's even worse when you learn who did it, and why, at which point it just becomes almost satirically offensive.

Yup. Daily Burn sometimes works for me - it's cheap enough and flexible enough - but even that's a little too advanced given how out-of-shape I am. I'm honestly having better luck just doing Weight Watchers and fucking off about the exercise. No one makes fun of me AND I'm not miserable.

Oh, I straight-up refuse to exercise in public. I'd rather not exercise at all than spend my time sweaty, miserable, AND getting fucking laughed at by every jack-ass out there. Fuck that shit.

I hope the series ends with the Iron Bank collapsing under the weight of all their risky investments in the Noble Houses of Westeros, causing a worldwide banking crisis.

And, weirdly, Tywin.

That's… actually creepier. Way, WAY creepier.

It also makes things less creepy when it comes to the '14 year old and 8 year old falling in love' plot.

Ooops, my bad. She is, indeed, not off Batgirl, I just though she was because of the random fill-in issue from Marguerite Bennett and because her work suddenly started improving elsewhere. I just assumed she had finally escaped from whatever cage DC had locked her in.
