I’ve learned that there are many levels of feminists and I tend to fall in with the “I believe in equal rights, but I don’t freak out and scream about men’s magazines” camp.

I even appreciate doors being held open for me. It’s just a nice thing to do.

And all armour does is constrict movement!

I read the LJ link where the girl mentions that it looks like spooge is on the left girls boobs. Looks more like saliva to me; also, did anyone notice the tentacles are covered in that same sort of saliva/slime?

I do agree, it’s hard to tell that those girls are ass-kicking super heroines, and I probably would think of it as an adult comic (Professional perv here.) But a querty for those people who think you need concealing armor to kick ass: Why soak up the damage with armor when you can avoid it by not wearing armor? A tank might need a lot to take it down, but it’s pretty damn easy to hit a tank!

Anyways, just my two cents. I like this site ya got goin’, though I’m not too thrilled about the whole Feminist webring (But only because I’ve only met one feminist in my life, and she was a femnazi. No matter what I did, it was wrong with her…so that one experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth, ya dig?)

Erk, sorry for the rambling. I do that. A lot.

I totally agree with this.
I’m so sick of parents just blaming the media for “corrupting” their kids cause they don’t want to take responsibility for being bad parents.

It’s the same with blaming violent youth crimes on “those damn video games” or movies.

It’s ridiculous. If children are more affected by the media than their parents, there is a bigger problem than what’s on t.v.

Tentacle porn…wow. What’ll they think of next. Anyway, while I will usually fall in to the line of “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” I’ve got to agree with you here, especially with the whole bondage and phallic column they’re chained to.
And the fact that parents don’t take enough responsibility for what their children are reading to me is so frustrating. I’ve seen what happens at my LCS. I’ve seen parents literally drop their kids off on as if it’s a daycare and then turn around and verbally lash the owner after they see their kids are reading something as above. And they were the ones that came in and bought it for them!! It’s high time that parents started taking responsibility for their children. Don’t get me started on the whole “Free Comic Book Day” thing. Sheesh.

Conversation on this topic with my husband over IM:

Me: Cover for a Marvel title called “Heroes for Hire” which is on stands: http://www.pinkraygun.com/wp-content/uploads/Articles/HFH13-.jpg

Husband: that’s very japanese of them.

Me: *nod* That’s supposed to be The Brood. Everyone else is going “Uh, yeah right.

Husband: apparently the brood have gotten more japanese also.

Me: So people complained to the editor that it looked like tentacle porn, and he goes “people are reading too much” “they’re the Brood, they have tentacles” “the concept came from a female artist” “the book overall is about strong lead female protagonists”

Husband: that’s not the full quote. it’s “the book overall is about strong lead female protagonists getting raped by the brood” apparently, strong lead female protagonists draw their power from the amound of sun that is absorbed by their cleavage too. “well’ i could put some armor plating over my lungs and heart, or i could fight the alien tentacle monsters in a sexy low cut spandex top…hmm….which is more practical…
