The Bullshit Police in “Friend Zone”

Written by SungWon ProZD Cho

Illustrated by Jackson Siro Wyse

Guess what, fellas, girls are not OBLIGATED to date you, and if what she perceives as a friendship results in you being a whiny piece of garbage because she won’t date you (because how DARE she!!!), then TOO BAD.

Jackson took my “GO MAKE ME A SANDWICH YOLO” shirt from my original script and went all out with a MENAGERIE of terrible clothing.  Good job, Jackson.

pssssst new comic new comic

I can’t stop laughing at the law eagles

that james gunn article is so disgusting

othothegreat:

buckycaps:

the art he chose in general, especially for the female heroes, is really gross and terrible, but here are a few more sexist, misogynistic, sex-shaming gems:

  1. “for those men that love rude bitches, [emma frost] the white queen is the way”
  2. [on natasha romanoff, the highest ~debut] “considering she’s fucked half the guys in the marvel universe, that’s quite a feat”
  3. [on elektra] she’ll “give you a nice, ninja-trained blow job”
  4. [on black canary] “i used to think she was the hottest chick in the dcu, but then i remembered that she fucks green arrow”
  5. [on dazzler] “a friggin’ great vagina”
  6. [on kitty pryde] “i want to anally do her”
  7. [on choice of art for jade] “i picked the one with the big tits”
  8. [on batwoman] “i’m hoping for a dc-marvel crossover so that tony stark can turn her; she could also have sex with nightwing and still be a lesbian”
  9. calls tigra ‘easy’ for no discernible reason along with calling stephanie brown that because she’s a single mother
  10. says that he’ll blow a load onto jessica jones’ face so he doesn’t have to look at her

This same article  also includes such charmingly puerile humor as calling Gambit a “Cajun fruit” and sharing his vivid imaginings of “my balls slapping against Gambit’s” which, he immediately points out, “makes me sick to my stomach,” just so you don’t get the wrong idea.

He goes on to make fun of Dr. Manhattan’s penis size, and then, ”Many of the people who voted for the Flash were gay men. I have no idea why this is. But I do know if I was going to get fucked in the butt I too would want it to be by someone who would get it over with quick.”

And he STILL manages to treat the male characters with more respect in general than the female ones.

This is the man that Marvel chose (and Joss Whedon endorsed) to direct the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Awesome.

Christopher Sebela and Matt Fraction weigh in on the latest comic industry drama centered on Tony Harris’s recent outburst re: fake versus real nerd ladies, their choice of cosplays, and who exactly should be allowed to do what.

Awww lordie, I missed a “real nerd girl” neckbeard rant? DAMMIT THOSE ARE MY FAVOURITE.

you’re not a REAL NERD GIRL if you’re not willing to exist as just a sex object or if you make nerd guys in any way uncomfortable SIMPLY BY EXISTING DUH

Welcome to: If Male Superhero Costumes were Designed Like Female Superhero Costumes!

Aaaaa I dunno. I got tired of guys having no idea why girls find female superhero’s costumes kinda sexist, so I, um, made this?

My main goals were: 1) Make it so the first thing you think of when you look at them is sex, whether you want to or not. 2) make it so that any male human who looks at this feels really uncomfortable. 3) make it funny, because, well, it’s kinda hilarious really.

Not trying to start a war here, just wanted to poke a bit of fun.

So, here you go menfolk, welcome to being a girl who likes comics.

Okay, I’ve become rather irked by how much the boobs-n-butt pose is so harped on, as if it’s some hilarious, impossible thing. These were done on a whim, so I apologize for the small/crappy photos and sketchy outlines. Once I find my camera again, I’d like to take some shots that show the whole body and how this pose actually works.

These are all practical positions, and they were all relatively comfortable to do. Even though the boobs-n-butt pose looks a little funny, it’s entirely plausible and anatomically correct (although it can be taken too far). So, don’t be afraid to draw it. Hopefully these photos help a little with drawing such positions! 

Yes! thank you for doing this and proving that these poses are actually possible and they don’t break your spine like a lot of people say.

Interesting post.

I mean, go ahead and draw them if you want to contribute to the continued objectification of women as nothing better than sexual property. Continue to draw them if you want to toss logic out the window, because these poses are a) fucking ridiculous and b) have no basis in the reality of ass-kicking women. You know what the problem is? All of these poses prioritize displaying the body as a sexualized object, not as poses that allow for like, punching or kicking people — you know, things that superheroines do, and often.

OP missed the point so hard they might as well skyrocket into the sun.

I believe you missed the OP’s point pretty hard yourself. Basically she’s speaking specifically on the part where other people make fun of “T and A” (I guess we’re calling them that?) poses as if they’re physically impossible to do. Her qualm seems to be with the fact that the poses (though unpractical) are possible and can be done,

Nowhere in her post do I see her condoning the oversexualization of Women in comics.

#IS IT SO HARD TO READ SOMEONE’S POST AND THEN POSSIBLY ASKING THEM THEIR OPINION BEFORE YOU THROW A BITCH FEST?

And I quote: “These are all practical positions… don’t be afraid to draw it.”

Okay.

“

I mean, imagine opening The Sun every day and finding page three adorned with a photo of a pouting specimen of masculinity clad only in his Y-fronts. Imagine naked men sprawling sensuously on the bonnets of new model cars at the motor show. Imagine having to listen to some sweaty and repugnant female version of Bernard Manning telling an endless string of Father-in-Law jokes. Sure, it’s funny once. Maybe it would be funny twice. But three times? Four times? Five thousand times? Can you imagine having to live with something as insulting as that every day of your life? No wonder so many feminists are cranky.

And comics are, in their way, every bit as guilty as other media in presenting a distorted vision of women to their readers. Maybe more guilty in some respects. After all, comics tend to be aimed predominantly at a young audience, an audience that may very well be going through an impressionable stage of their lives and desperately trying to make sense of the world in which they find themselves.

Alan Moore, Invisible Girls and Phantom Ladies, 1983

It’s pretty amazing how you could apply this just as readily to the comics industry of today as you could 30 years ago.

SRSLY

SRSLY 

Uh? Am I not allowed to apologize? I realize, in hindsight, that I did sound judgmental. D:

lmfao gurl it is such a non-apology i can’t even 

As much as women are not at fault for looking like purely sexual beings to men, we have to be aware that there is stuff women purposefully do in order to make themselves desirable to men in a negative way. Stuff that goes beyond looking and dressing to be conventionally attractive, and that stuff can change how men treat other women.

“…we have to be aware that there is stuff women purposefully do in order to make themselves desirable to men in a negative way.” 

A+ VICTIM BLAMING. 

It doesn’t matter what I do with my own body, men can fuck right off. That sentence is blaming women for how men treat them. “If only you did xyz, men wouldn’t do abc.” 

So do I disagree with purposefully associating your boobs with your comics? Yes. Yes, I do. I’m sorry, but this photo doesn’t do women in comics many favors.

It’s ONE BOOB CREEPING IT’S WAY INTO THE FRAME. Everything is covered! What are you even going on about?

But seriously, it isn’t bad to question our behavior as women in comics. So thus, I questioned (in a very judgmental manner) whether or not this was the right thing to post on this blog. Because we, as women, cannot just run rampant through the world with no negative consequences, and not *everything* is a man’s fault.

MORE. VICTIM. BLAMING. 

YES. IT IS THE MAN’S FAULT. 

WHAT I DO OR DON’T DO WITH MY BODY IS MY BUSINESS. WHAT THIS GIRL IS WEARING/HOW SHE’S POSING WHILE SHE HOLD’S A COMIC IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. 

NOBODY would have noticed OP’s fucking breasts if you hadn’t said anything. 

There’s no right or wrong way to behave as a woman. Unless you’re spewing your internalized misogyny all over the place. 

And the tacked on “hope she read that cover to cover” bullshit, do you add that on to everyone’s pictures? Or just the ones that you think are too “provocative?”

And you’ve had other bullshit on this blog about “Sexy” cosplayers doing it for attention, as if cosplayers like this Starfire aren’t “real” comic fans, she’s just doing it for attention. 

For a blog that’s supposed to be helping the perception of women in comics fandom, you’re doing a piss poor job. 

Ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary identified people: check out my friend Merg, being a straight-up badass.
