>>65239721
>I'd appreciate it more if they drew characters I actually found attractive
They are deliberately making the characters as unattractive as possible which is the reason I find the Hawkeye initiative petty and mean spirited.
Female characters in comics are sexualized, they are drawn in ways designed to make them look attractive and sexy. The Hawkeye initiative is not making male characters look sexy, they are drawing male characters in embarrassing feminine poses and then dishonestly pretending that this is equivalent to the originals.
If they were honest they would draw male characters in a way women find sexy to show men how it feels to be sexualized, however, doing this would show men what a minor issue it is so the SJW artists pretend that sexualization and embarrassment are the same.
>>65239981
Eh even if they were the equivalent, they're not very typical in comics. I suppose I'm fine with it if it's just a joke as anything trying to make a point however yeah it's pretty dumb
>>65239700
>Women who don't even read comics trying to punish men for liking sexy women and trying to force images of sexualized and submissive men to try to make male readers more effeminite and submissive
There is a war on male sexuality. SJWs won't rest until all men are castrated ladyboys to afraid to court women because it's "sexual harassment"
I mean, just look at how they started making Loki "sexy" a little bit ago to appeal to the Twilight teeny boppers, and have desexualized Batgirl and made her look like a little boy just to take away what little pleasure her fans may have gotten from her.
It's mean-spirited and sadistic/
>>65240327
Personally every page should be a pornographic dream for both sexes.
>>65239734
I'd slap his shitif you get what I mean
>>65239981
Psylocke's whole chicken drumstick pose wasn't particularly sexy either - that's half the point, all those weird poses that are justified "for fanservice" aren't being fapped to, they're just bad art justified by insulting the male readership.
It'd be nice if DC and Marvel swept their houses of all the consistently bad artists they continue to enable.
>>65240357

Women don't don't read comics and normal ones don't consume pornography. Why should comics pander to them?
>>65240327
>SJWs won't rest until all men are castrated ladyboys to afraid to court women because it's "sexual harassment"
Jesus christ, this. They've made it so that the only way to even sleep with a girl these days is to grovel before them and become a brainwashed beta feminist drone, because it's the only way to gain their approval. They're fucking going against the nature that's existed for 1000s of years.
>>65240327
>>I mean, just look at how they started making Loki "sexy" a little bit ago to appeal to the Twilight teeny boppers

>>65240518
Maybe you should grow up and realize that there's no reason to sleep with a girl. You're not suddenly going to become cool and successful just because you found a vagina that will have you. It's not suddenly going to make your life less shit. It's not going to make you all that much happier.
Be a wizard. Acquire currency.
Why can't there just be an equal amount of sexiness for both male and female characters? Why does this shit have to be so political and unfun?

>>65240663
Because when women admit to schlicking they can't maintain the moral high ground.
>>65239700
The Hawkeye Initiative doesn't work because 9/10 they dishonestly represent the character by putting him in ridiculous bondage gear or femanizing the costumes as a cheat to get their point across.
If the pose was as ridiculous as they claim, then they wouldn't need to do that. Putting Hawkeye or Hulk or any other male character in a similar pose would be enough to get their point across.
>>65240663
Women aren't even attracted by men's physicalities. They are attracted to men who are successful, rich, powerful, and dominant and who can provide for them.
Men are attracted to women who are fertile, which is why their physical appearances are important.
That's why it doesn't make any fucking sense to sexualize men and prohibit sexualizing women. The species doesn't work that way. Feminists are just against human nature.
>>65240528
Gillen is an SJW who was simply making an excuse to increase his Tumblr credibility by pandering to women who hate that males find women other than them attractive.

>>65240394
>Psylocke's drumstick pose
Honestly I question what's badly placed fanservice and what's mediocre artists going for dynamic posing.
I can get Tigra slinking down a tree being an obvious appeal to sexuality or 90% of everything drawn by Benes and Cho.
But I have a hard time believing someone said "that's gonna look so hot" when Psylocke was in that weird pose.
It's just you take a hot chick in a skimpy outfit and make her do stuff like this and of course everyone will think you've got some weird fetish.
>>65240663
I support this, quality sexiness for everyone.
>>65240394
But a lot of the things Escher girls pics on are single panels by artists that are otherwise ok. Or 20+ year old art.
Everyone has bad days and as an artist on a schedule sometimes you just have to let shit go and hope the next page is better.
A lot of the new artists that they are testing out that don't work out DO get let go so it's not like they don't notice.
>>65240817
While you are technically right, we must remember that' well, all those female costumes are designed with exactly this kind of posing in mind.
We really lack revealing male costumes.

That is because wearing revealing clothing isn't what makes a man attractive. Being strong, rich, decisive, smart, and other masculine traits, is what attracts women.
So, if women want to find attractive superheroes in comics, they already have, like, all of them. All males in comics are sexualized because they tend to have these traits.
Men are attracted to women with large breasts and round hips because they are fertile. Revealing clothing reveals their fertility. And suggestive poses show their receptiveness and submissiveness to male sexual advances.
Men and women are equally sexualized in comics (in fact, males moreso, due to feminists and gays taking over and enforcing puritan/muslim rules on female sexualization to neuter straights), but in different ways according to their biological designs and place in the natural order all things are created in.
>>65239700

They were intended to be sexy.
Which is another reason why the Hawkeye initiative is so petty and mean spirited.
The artists who made the original image were trying their best to make something good, the artists who make the initiative version are trying to make something bad to mock another artist.
There isn't a single artist in the world who hasn't made a mistake.

>>65240518
You're probably just a beta then. I've noticed the exact opposite. Feminists who whine about "patriarchy" and macho male behavior actually like being dominated sexually just like any other normal woman. It's just part of their nature.
This is why the uglier feminists try to convince the others that sex is bad. They don't want them to realize their true natures and the fact that they really DO want to be pursued by males and made submissive in bed.
>>65242141
Bug she's traveling downwards and lifting herself over a ledge.Spider-woman is totally for sex appeal, it's Milo Manara for cripesakes. But I see no actual issue with that apart from not finding it aesthetically pleasing. He's done better work.
>>65242209
No, but contrived poses that don't fit the scenario and are designed purely to make the depicted character a sexual object are.
Like, why is she crawling up a building in such a way that, despite the fact that she's just making it over the lip of the building and her legs are below her, her ass and spine are curving UPWARD just so that we can see her ass?
This is different from the Spider-Man pic, where the only reason we can see his ass is because, according to his downward-pointed position, it just makes sense.
It's like if for every action I had a character do, I had to think of a way for her to do it in a way that sexually presents her, and had to resort to contrived and awkward positions to make sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper sexy.
>>65242378
Women are supposed to be sexy because they are designed to be to perpetuate people.

Instead of citing evolution or nature for why women in comics age sexy, we are much more credible using the Argument that men are just as sexualized because of their abs and tight costumes.
>>65242099
>>Crawling downward on a ball is the same as being on a flat surface, but curving your spine so that your ass sticks in the air for some reas

>>65243874
Women didn't used to consume porn before feminists convinced them it was empowering to be rebellious/indecent and unladylike.
They don't genuinely enjoy it the way men do, though. They delude themselves into thinking so to "stick it to the patriarchy" or whatever. It's not part of their nature.
>>65243861
What kind of male romance stories would you like to read?
>>65244245
Ones with lots of blow jobs and facials. And they should have pictures. Lots of them. About 24 per second.
>>65244245
That's a good question, I have no idea what kind of romance I'd like to consume, it's never been something for me to buy or consider. I mean, a lot of stuff we watch has "romantic elements" but that's just the occupational hazards of the adventure or create a goal for the protagonist to achieve.
Maybe we already have a bunch of romanticized stuff aimed for us, it's just not directly about relationships. We romanticized war, and sailing on ships, and having super powers and solving crimes, and being apart of silly modern love triangles.
...Would Tenchi Muyo/Harem stuff count as romance for dudes? Like there's rarely any sex, the dude is just surrounded by girls which one of them will eventually be THE ONE.
>>65244119
>Evolutionary Biology Fedoratards actually believe this

>>65243727
Truth.
Men are oppressed in this society. Women are the dominating sex.
Women these days are sainted for emasculating and rejecting men and it is considered "cool" to give men fake numbers when they court you if you don't like how they look, instead of giving them a chance.
>>65242737
>>65242786
I never bought that argument because really I don't care that much to look like a super buff and clean cut super hero. I'd rather look like pic related. I think that's why the term "Man's man" exists. Just as women and men differ on what they believe to be the perfect women so do they differ on what they think the perfect man is. I think comic book characters just please the opposite sex with their physiques and not really the same one. The difference is guys just don't care that much while some women seem to be throwing a hissy fit over it nowadays.
>>65243509

>>65247578

>>65243658
>When a girl goes on a shooting spree because she hates men,
I doubt it will ever happen and if it ever does it will be an anomolay. Biology dictates that men are larger and stronger than women but the down side is we're also much, much more physically violent. If a man hates women he might just go on a shooting spree or become a serial killer but if a women hates men she'll probably just cut her hair, stop shaving, and publish papers and books on why men suck while also being kind of a bitch to men irl.

Well if the man had the courage to do it and was very polite, it would be pretty rude to just toss them aside.
But that's the norm. Girls over boys. Men are taught to fear their own sexuality and never express it, because asking out a girl at the wrong place at the wrong time could get your sued for harassment. Hell, even if you are married, your wife can still charge you with rape or sexual assault, despite the fact that she married you and you aren't some stranger who doesn't have the right to touch her, but her own husband.

Why, your sexual prowess, might've even been called in question - as though that actually had jack shit to do with your actual worth as a human being - in connection to it.
But. You know. Fuck what any an all judgemental jackasses may think of it; it's my fucking hobby.
You know?
Then a couple of Johnny-come-lately jackasses come around and starting to throw around some shit about how not only you're a bad person to like that shit, but, y'know, you're responsible for the suffering of other, actual flesh-and-bone human beings who are probably worth more than you by the sheer fact that they're breathing the same oxigen as you?

HEY, STOP SEXUALIZING OUR SUPERHEROINES.
WE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BAD BY SEXUALIZING THE MALES AND ONLY POSTING THE NEW ART ON TUMBLR SO WE CAN HIGHFIVE EACH OTHER BECAUSE THIS IS HYPOCRTITCAL AND POINTLESS
HOWEVER, WE SURE SHOWED YOU... Wait what do you mean no one cares?
I hate how they go on these crusades but ONLY on tumblr and they feel good for accomplishing nothing.
>>65239700
So long as we get good art this time around. The Hawkeye Initiative was 90% people who couldn't draw for shit.
Still we need the Power Girl Initiative to come back as well.
>>65249075
Yeah, you know what? I want a little fucking recogniztion and respect for staying true to myself and enjoying something despite these assholes trying to make me feel bad about it.
It sucks. GIRLS LOVE COMICS *apparently* according to Tumblrism but I still can't have a conversation about them with a girl without being called a dork or creepy.
But yeah you ignored the part where I was talking about how they ruin our hobby by over sexualizing. Why don't feminists go complain about football, I mean an all male team while the girls look sexy on the side lines? Shouldn't that fuel feminist rage?
>>65252269
Yeah exactly. The sexualization of super heroines is only an issue to them because it stirs up the most power evil on earth -- female jealously and insecurity.
Oh what the fuck is the problem with this pose?
>>65253828
Awkward anatomy?
>>65252454
No, because of the head injuries.
>>65241412
Time to fap.
The difference is. Im not offended that men are drawn this way.
Women and SJW's and feminists just need something to complain about every week

Sure, that's exactly why there's so little male nudity on romance novels, right?
>>65241067
How'd you get this clip?
>>65243291
Eh, I wouldn't say men are as sexualized though they still typically depict an unrealistic standard of beauty regardless of who it's supposed to appeal tonot that that's a bad thing
But I think the best tactic is admitting some of these poses are sexual and there's nothing wrong with sexuality in the right context. Also what are quality issues rather than sex issues.And yes admitting sometimes there are poorly placed t&a from some artistsTrying to pretend there isn't a definite sexual edge to most superheroines is stupid but I think acting oblivious or ashamed of it is just giving them more ammo.
An artist drew a pin up cover, so fucking what?
>>65241259

Every time you bring stuff like that up it always is some weird exception from male driven marketing machines or some shit.
Women kinda lie an awful lot.

Romance novels are porn. You're comparing comic books to porn. It isn't the wicked burn you think it is to say that it's ok that comic books are just as bad as the things housewives use to masturbate.
What's the whole point of this backlash anyway?
What is the endgame here?
Completely sterile "respectful" poses in comics that most of these people will continue not to read? Did they judge this book by its variant cover?
>>65256731
>Romance novels are porn
No, they're not. They sell books like that at the local Wal-Mart.
They don't fall under obscenity or pornography laws. Not porn.
>>65256809
>Completely sterile "respectful" poses in comics that most of these people will continue not to read?
God, I hope not. All those forced non-sexy female poses are so dull and lifeless. But it looks like the feminists are winning. Take a look at what they did to Batgirl.
>>65256809
I think the endgame is just artists paying more attention to human anatomy when drawing characters, and specially when drawing women.
>>65253573
Exactly. Why do women get jealous about the hot girls in our comic books, but then refuse to date us nerds and call us creepy? It's not fair. If they won't give us a chance, they should let us have the one sexual outlet we do have. If we can't have those, then they should start giving us chances instead of always going for assholes instead.
>>65248630
You've hit the nail on the head. The Hawk eye Initiative is one of the most infuriating things on the web. The spearhead of the SJW war on men. We are minorities in the society we built now. If a white person says anything, it's "racists"
>>65248072
AWAKEN MY MASTERS!
>>65252454
>t sucks. GIRLS LOVE COMICS *apparently* according to Tumblrism but I still can't have a conversation about them with a girl without being called a dork or creepy.
Girls don't read comics, they only want to ruin them because men like them, so they must be destroyed.
It's working. Tumblr comics are flooding the market, like Batgirl and ms marvel. Completely sexless, like some Muslim country.
I'm glad that marvel had the guts to give Angela a costume that isn't sterile and boring. She's what a female comic book character should look like, not some flat chested little boy like Batgirl.
>>65255794
And you're either really mad, or really bad at trolling.
Either way.
It's not even MY hobby. I don't give a fuck about capes. Haven't given a fuck about them for some 15 years now.
It just gets really fucking tiresome, having to deal with idiotic bullshit from imbeciles that apparently are incapable of understanding things like "you are not entitled to be specifically catered to by publicly owned, for-profit entertainment corporations" whenever I want to read anything even tangentially related to comics.
And while it might surprise you, but I actually agree with the "identity" bit; just so long as we're also applying it to those oh-so-victimized people who just want to get into capes, but can't because boob windows and the Patriarchy and stuff.
>>65258385
Interesting you should bring up Angela in that context. This is what her writer said.
>>One of the original thoughts for the Angela: Asgard’s Assassin pitch was that I wanted Angela to scare the shit out of people. [laughs] She’s not a friendly presence; when she walks into the room, she makes people feel uneasy. The fact that she has a provocative costume is not part of it for me; there’s no cheesecake poses… she’s literally, a really scary motherfucker.
One of the artists has also made a point of saying that there will be no cheesecake. But she's keeping that 90's-as-fuck costume.
>>65239981
I don't even know or care what the Hawkeye initiative is, but no way mainstream comics could showcase heavily sexualised males without manbabies flipping the fuck out.
>>65259175
They do. Dudes don't flip their shit about it like women do.
>>65241624
You must be joking. Money and confidence trumps all.
>>65259252
OK, show me some panels, then. Keeping in mind that "muscles" is not a sexual characteristic. I want to see eyes, lips, nips, crotch and ass.
>>65259175
Dat american bulge
>>65259350
Guess what, virgins: not everyone is attracted to the same thing in equal measure.
>>65259373
Will a cover do?
I mean, clearly what we have here is blatant, obvious sexualizing and objetification of the character, for the purposes of reader titillation, isn't it?
Because if it wasn't, well geez, we'd have one of them "double standards" on our hands here, wouldn't we?
>>65259617
Rejected as not being heavily sexualised. The only thing it's got going for it is a tiny bit of ass, not very prominent in terms of exposure, angle or page position. Is that really the most sexualised male you can find? I was expecting a little more than that, even.
Check it - lips and bulge, enticing nudity, provocative position. This is a print, not a panel, so don't count this as evidence. It's not like this kind of thing is hard to spot - just look for something "porny".
>>65259850
Failed on the picture.
>>65259791
Address the point, please - that being, namely, the fact that it's the exact same pose as Manara put Spiderwoman in, that sparked this idiotic "debate".
But all right. Say I concede. Women are typically depicted in sexually suggestive poses in a comic genre that has had a primarily male (you know, a demographic that generally has an interest in sexy women) for the last 60 years or so.
What of it?
It's "mysoginistic"? It's "teaching boys that women are objects"? It's "corrupting our youth", Dr. Wertham?
Well, you see, that's the thing about the free market. Companies can sell whatever product, and target whatever demographic they see fit, as long as they do it within the law (and unless you live in some absolutist theocracy, sexy women aren't against it); and on the other hand, you aren't under any sort of obligation to buy anything you object to.
And please spare me the "but they will go out of business" line. Do you work for Marvel or DC? Do you own stock on Disney or Warner?
So how is that any concern of yours, again?
Aren't you the consumer here? If these companies' products aren't meeting your expectations, take your business elsewhere.
Here's a gender-swapped White Queen. Notice how the face is drawn.

You haven't followed the quote tree, evidently - start from >>65259175, which was a response to >>65239981. Also you're getting awfully defensive - I never said any of that shit.
I have no problem with sexy pictures in principle. I do say that using them in the wrong context, or sacrificing decent anatomy etc for a tit-shot, can be detrimental, aesthetically speaking. I also say that if Marvel and DC catered more towards females they could probably expand their fanbase and improve their profits.
>>65247980
>Men are taught to fear their own sexuality and never express it, because asking out a girl at the wrong place at the wrong time could get your sued for harassment. Hell, even if you are married, your wife can still charge you with rape or sexual assault, despite the fact that she married you and you aren't some stranger who doesn't have the right to touch her, but her own husband.
Nobody is taught that.
In fact, pretty much everything I was taught when it comes to how to treat women was put through the context of, "Because women are smaller, weaker, and less capable than you."
You don't come off too strong- not because the woman might sue you for harassment- but because you're likely bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than her and she could be intimidated and made uncomfortable.
>>65260067
No shit, Sherlock.
>>65247980
>Hell, even if you are married, your wife can still charge you with rape or sexual assault, despite the fact that she married you and you aren't some stranger who doesn't have the right to touch her, but her own husband.
Holy shit, does this guy honestly think he should have the right to rape his wife?

>>65258147
I don't want to go too off topic but I suspect some women don't like alternative sexual outlets for men because it reduces male dependency on females for sex just like how some men don't like career oriented women because it reduces their dependency on men for wealth.
Why does a woman need a man if she can provide for herself and why does a man need a women if he can fulfill his sexual needs elsewhere? Granted, this is an oversimplification and even in a world where women can be independent and where men have a great variety and quality in sexual outlets there will still be many people seeking companionship from the opposite sex but my degree in broscience leads me to believe it has some validity.

This one's problems aren't even the proportions (well, save for the arm) since it's based on a photo of Schwarzenegger.
The thing is in the original Arnie stands at an angle towards the viewer but Liefeld fucked up Cap's neck and shoulder so they indicate he's standing in perfect profile while his chest is still at an angle.

The "Spider-Man Initiative" part, or "Hawkeye is the new Aquaman?" part?
The former because, well, he DOES go into really weird poses. You could probably sell the point better by showing how narrow the line between parody and actual cover is, if you use him.
The latter? Made fun of by casuals who only know him as "lol X". Aquaman was "lol, talks to fish." Hawkeye is "lol arrows".
