The Escapist : The Big Picture : Tropes vs. MovieBob

He brings up good points but then again, exactly as he says, Male dominated industries.

I loooove comics! But yeah, I get bored of seeing all the baddass male characters, then looking at the slutty females who win by most cleavage/ass shown in each panel.

I want some scantilly clad men.

Also, I fucking love Tank Girl. All them comic bitches should be more manly.

Read Transmetropolitan.

Thank me later.

WITCHCRAFT, HERESY, AND MUTATION!


Cause Sisters of Battle are bad ass.

Yet still have giant bloated boobies with crosses on them!

They're stuffed.
(The armor is produced in one size fits all)

Transmetropolitan (and Warren Ellis) is genius. Spider Jerusalem is my hero.

Indeed



Getting back on-topic, I'm sort of coming to the conclusion myself that the solution is just buy better comics if you hate superhero women- well, superhero comics are almost universally shitty, commercial, male-power-fantasy, traced over porn (yes, really) by Godawful artists who are hired primarily for being able to churn out a page a day.
To compare it with other media; it's like trying to find interesting. realistic female characters in a Mills&Boon, or porn. Of course there's exceptions, and outliers, but 90% of superhero comics are extensions of a Revenge of the Nerd type fantasy; which includes arm-candy-girlfriend.

Also, for relevance and because Hark! A Vagrant! is awesome:

LOL Kittrina, that female comic thing is hilarious!

Omg hahahahahaha Kitt rofl that comic was hilarious!!!!

bwahaha she drew another one ^^ again, relevant

Totally awesome

as JP stated, stuffed...
Regardless, you don't want to mess with these women. They'll fucking torch your ass. So what if the armor has breast slots? Like most comics, WH40K was pointed towards a male audience. But there's not really much sexism over the SoB. They don't need to be space marines, they'll kick your ass for the Emprah regardless- cause they're simply that god damn awesome.
