Hm. I wish visual media had not-stupid female characters. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 01/08/2010 10:02:20 AM
Yes, I know they exist, but they're rare. By stupid I mean women in medieval settings who run around in chain bikinis.

Granted, in the context of superheroes everyone is stupid, because they never wear armor. But still, it would be nice to have a female now and then who did not conform to hypersexualized stereotypes.

Don't really read comics, though, so I guess my opinion doesn't much matter on the subject.

/feminism

EDIT: Wonderful nerdy exceptions: Zoe from Firefly, Kerrigan (at least while human; debatable while infested) from Starcraft, Hilde from Soul Calibur.

i have a feeling that's the constant state of emotion of comic book fans *NM* LadyLorraine - 02/08/2010 09:41:43 AM 282 Views
