Random Thoughts — Page 453

I think this is about as good a time as any to reiterate that I, personally, am not fond of highly sexualized images of women in comic books. Since the '80s/'90s, comic book women have become more and more “idealized” by the artists who draw them, all the way to the point where most of them look and dress like anorexic strippers with fake tits. I wish this would end, that superheroines/supervillainesses would be drawn with more diverse/realistic body types. If I were a comic book artist, I assure you this is what I would do.

But if anyone criticizes me – or anyone else here – of misogyny for posting a drawing of a woman – not because we like the way her body is drawn, but because we like the clothing she is wearing – I’m going to tell them to take their self-righteous, condescending bullshit and go straight to the Ninth Circle of Hell.

Read Dante’s Inferno.

Lol, she wasn’t wearing clothing! She was a purple nude sticking her “titties and ass” out.

Maybe I should have grabbed a woman’s ass. If I’m gonna get called a misogynist, at least it should be for actions that are actually misogynistic, not for posting a goddamn image of Catwoman.

You might not realize this, but there’s a difference between misogyny and sexual harassment.

We’re criticizing the actions, not the people.

Which is why it’s useless to call people immature misogynists. It only puts them on the defensive, and they won’t be receptive to anything you (not you specifically, the ‘royal you’) say after that.

Anyone who’s going to call me a misogynist can go fuck themselves.

There are very few people who can be called a misogynist or a racist. For most other people, you really have to say that a certain action or viewpoint is misogynistic. Don’t criticize the person in most cases.

So…love the sinner, hate the sin?

Hahahahaha!

Yep, whiny brats who bitch about comic books that they’ve never read are privileged as all hell.

Why would I read that garbage? I’m an adult.

You’re a conceited asshole who thinks he’s better than everyone else.

No, but I am better than people who like sexist portrayals of women and think THEY’RE the persecuted ones.

Yeah, continue your condescending missing-the-forest-for-the-trees schtick.
