Sex in the 90s

[aeka]

As everyone here knows, DC has gotten a shit tonne of criticism for their portrayal of sex in their New 52 line. Not without reason of course since the sex that has been portrayed so far has been nothing short of fanservice.

But then, back in 1990, DC got away with this...



Makes me wonder what the reactions to THIS was back then if people of today complained about the Batman/Catwoman sex scene in Catwoman #1. At best no one was in any position to complain about the scene being non-consensual. :}

And why does Ollie have a knobbly stone wall on the interior of his house? Is it to fulfil a medieval castle fantasy? Damn, that's tacky.

Well they did run a flower shop called Sherwood Florists for a while, maybe the entire building is like that rather than just the bit for the customers?

Fair enough then. I can't criticise anyone who's that committed to terrible/adorable puns.

Although there aren't actually any castles in Sherwood Forest, but whatever.

An Englishman's home is his castle, and as whatever treehouse or woven hut Robin lived in MUST have been his home.. technically you are wrong about that!

oh bb I have missed you so much AHERM, I mean what-ho old girl, how have you been?

Sherwood Forest doesn't have much of anything in it besides the Major Oak, which I suppose could once have been a castle-amongst-treehouses I guess? But now it is old and dilapidated and they probably employ a team of rangers to shoot all the squirrels off it...

Oh my gosh the Major Oak is SO DREAMY I could live there for all my life.

(MISSD U 2 laptop troubles are BUM)

So... dreamy? I can't even tell if you are being earnest or not! This disturbs me.

Last time I saw it it was 60% scaffolding. It definitely wouldn't bear the weight of Ollie and dinah's gentle but enthusiastic lovemaking, that's for sure.

[greenmask]

Completely earnest, for real! When I was a tot I read "The Hollow Tree House" over and over; trees you can get inside are the pinacle of nature's achievements to me.

No.. it probably would't. But it would make a nice shelter from the elements for afterwards?

Ollie seems to love them. I still remember a scan someone posted from a Green Arrow comic where he said something about "paying a visit to Sherwood Forest" before going down on Dinah. I think if someone said something that corny to me I might actually have to throw them out of my house.
