I hate how some people are all like “we need comics to be more female friendly”

And we don’t, they just want comics to be more female orientated.

When they could you know, go read more female orientated comics.



But because they’re saying things like “Make it more female friendly or you’re a sexist!” People start handling the comic with kids gloves and the writing turns into shit like Young Avengers.

It’s not cool.



Do they realize the more often they do this the LESS female characters there’ll be?

Just like in video games, how people don’t like making the main character for most violent games female for the fear that they’ll be called a sexist.

Its just, so much stupidity.

God damn is there ever a lot of bullshit in this post. Holy hell.

Like NONE of this has happened. At all. Anywhere. Nothing described here is a problem that is happening.

What people want are comics and games to have real-world levels of character diversity without predictable, stereotyped roles and designs.What are you even defining as “female orientated(sic)?,” what is a “female oriented” comic like, and where are they? I’m pretty sure whatever you’re thinking it means, it’s not what anybody wants. People of all genders have always been just as often into the same comics and games. They respectfully request that the industry understand that instead of marketing every single thing like they only believe white, straight, cis, horny teenage boys are ever buying it.Nobody is shying away from female characters for the reasons you are describing. They can’t be because female characters actually are booming in number and quality, especially among indie games and comics. Female creators are also seeing more success. The kinds of critique you so sweepingly demonize are having only the positive effects they’re intended to, and the only reaction from you dorkuses is to just loudly pretend something entirely different is happening.
