Re: Sorry
Date: 2011-11-12 07:13 pm (UTC)I think it's pretty understandable if women feel protective of women characters, given how rare they are and how seldom they're the center of cultural narratives.
Equality would be nice, but I'm not going to judge these situations now as if we've already got it, when we don't. Or that as the less powerful gender in the equation, the onus is always on me to be high-minded and turn the other cheek no matter how much this shit pisses me off.
If we don't speak up when dissymmetry bothers us, how will there ever be equality? The powerful will just continue to claim that they didn't know there was a problem since nobody ever complained.
Also, I really don't recall seeing tons of jokes about how Peter should be killed because he's being written OOC or drawn poorly. If they've been abundant on the Spiderman threads, I'd really like some links, please.
One more time: In the context of misogyny in comics, jokes about killing off female characters for the "crime" of being badly written, drawn, or unliked by fans is gross.
