Re: Hm. I wish visual media had not-stupid female characters. ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 02/08/2010 06:50:41 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.


Definitely. Heck, even when they're NOT running around in skimpy outfits and are just wearing street clothes, they are still likely to be drawn with vapid expressions and pouty lips. Sometimes they look like blow-up dolls.

It's hard to love comics and be incredibly skeeved out by them at the same time.
