So they don’t make changes to be more like successful franchises and they’re idiots. They make changes to emulate success factors from other franchises and they’re idiots.

I’m not ignoring the older photo, they’re different in ways that are important. And it’s not about raw numbers, it’s means to draw your eye to what the other white girls are doing in the old photo. The other two establish that the racial visual isn’t just about the short white girl being a prop. And it’s not about…

Wow, you think it’s just about representation?

Not arguing the math, and neither is the Madeleine or the people critical of the current photo. Highlighting the numbers is meant to draw your eye to the the fact that the *sole* black girl in the current photo is inactive and appears as if a prop, whereas in the old photo there are two other white girls (besides the…

Context is a thing. You know that, right? Did you read the criticism of the current photo?

I am sure that i read a story once about brain-eating bacteria getting into someone’s brain via the nasal passages via a Neti Pot, to which I say: Fuck. That. Shit. Even if I just imagined that wholesale that’s enough to keep me from using it forever.

I like that your username ends in “bot”. Very fitting given the content of your post.

All the man-baby tears over losing one butt . . . there’s just not words for it, but here goes. There are literally other butts *in the same game*. The person who made the original post didn’t ask for no butts ever, and Blizzard did not remove all butts from The Universe. The person who made the original forum post…

“Many very vocal and prominent atheists teach that if we just forced everyone to be atheists and banned religion then there would be no war or strife.”

““Cis-dude-bros” won’t be able to touch themselves whilst gazing upon her visage! Take that misogyny!”

Let’s continue the conversation like adults, said the boob window afficianado who cares enough not to listen to women and their silly thoughts on how they’re portrayed in media. It’s all fantasy! (But not male power fantasy, which of course doesn’t exist like those naked Greek warriors do!)

Let’s see, who introduced “combat”? If only there was a way to see what had been previously written in this series of posts. If only . . . .

“Peasant hoplites may have only carried a shield and maybe a helmet or secondary weapon” != naked. Just admit you did shitty research undone by a 5-second Google search. The second link says it all. Naked combat was a Greek artistic style. By all means, though, keep going.

All of which are relevant to combat, and benefit their user. Keep digging.

Even buck naked, still no stripper boots.

“And this whole “functional” argument is total bullshit. Superhero costumes have always been ridiculous, not to mention that the things they do are impossible, so it is impossible to define what super-hero functionality would be.”

So you’re saying I’m actually close-minded because I listen to women who speak up about how their gender is portrayed in media rather than a bro who likes his super-heroines in boob windows, stripper boots, and painted on costumes. Check.

I should prioritize your opinion when trying to learn about what women think about how their gender is portrayed in comics and in comic-based movies? Seems legit.

“Oh, and I LIKE Power Girl’s boob window. I LIKED Spider-Woman’s old costume.”
I know you do. I know.

Right, they have breasts whether you put them in what would pass as a functional costume, or something a stripper would wear. So if you have a woman who is supposed to be fighting, she’ll have breasts whether you put her in an appropriate an functional costume/armor or not. And the reason they’re given stripper boots…
