hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.

also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it. 

anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!

Fantastic.

The Creepy Cull of Female Protagonists 

“It’s a sad problem that deserves to be examined and shouldn’t be accepted.”

And excellent video looking at the problematic role of women in video games and perception of gender in the video game industry. I don’t think people realize just how bad it is.

It falls down at the end by implying that being gay or closeted is something to be made fun of or a legitimate insult, but otherwise, there’s some good stuff here.

“For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.”

“It doesn’t get better.”

Now, for all of you who are part of the “It Gets Better” project, this video doesn’t rip on it. It adds to it. 

i really fucking love this guy jesus christ. i don’t know if i want to be him or if i want him to be my crazy uncle.
and i love his face. i want to pet it. 

I wasn’t going to watch this but then I did and you should really, really actually watch this. No matter what you are or what you do or how you feel about literally anything, watch it, because it’s gonna make you happy and happy is a good thing.

Now this. This genius. This I stand behind. This is real, and not these little close-minded hug-it-out groups here on Tumblr. Bless this man and his vision.

OMG I LOVE THIS GUY. I’VE FOUND MY SEMPAI!

I could barely make out what he was saying over the sound of his iron testicles clanging together.
