Sigh. How come every time someone comes out with a tall, curvaceous, butt-kicking female superhero... it turns out she's really a lesbian? I mean, please, not all the time... who's going to represent the tall, curvaceous, strong, independent hetero women? (like me ) of course, this probably has something to do with the fact that guys are running the show and know their audience likes to fantasize about chicks getting it on with other chicks for some reason...
I can't believe there are so many people in their thirties who actually read comics. That's just very disturbing to me for some reason.
The straight ones are all super-villainesses. :drool: Come to think of it, there ain't too many women in comics that aren't tall and curvaceous.
What about Rogue. She's tall, curvy, Southern and sexy. The movies really dropped the ball on her when they cast that mousey Anna Paquin in the X-movies.
In Japan, comics and animation have been geared towards adults as well as children for a long time now.
I think our level of geekdom has reached an entirely new level when we begin drooling over drawings of cartoon characters, discussing the mis-casting of them and critiquing the use of s&m overtones and lesbianism in comic books. I mean, we are talking about 2-dimensional drawings of fake people, right?
lol... I have friends who get off to anime p*rn pictures. Sigh. And then they go and complain about how unrealistic the proportions are. Well, yeah, they're cartoons, guys, and when/if you get some experience with the real ladies, you'd better not complain when it's not quite like you imagined. (of course, you could say the same about the airbrushed supermodel-types who are technically the "real" people that you see pictures of)
Not sure what the big deal is. Every woman is a lesbian waiting to be coaxed out of their shell. The ones who deny this is true are the ones most likely to give in to these desires.
Yeah totally agree.. Anna Paquin doesn't look too bad and all but casting her as Rogue, even a kid version training at the academy, is too much of a stretch. Although I have no better ideas.. Angelina Jolie? As for the new and "improved" Batwoman, all I can say is I would like to get Catwoman and the Black Canary involved too, maybe in an "all-animal" issue of sorts.. get it done DC Man, just revealed I'm a pervert AND a geek
What was that line someone once said to me... Every woman is just a few drinks away from being a lesbian.
OK, that explains why I've never felt the slightest inclination that way. I don't drink. Funny, though... you make that same statement and reverse the genders and I bet no one would take it nearly so well.
What are you talking about? If this happened on a regular basis there wouldn't be a news story about it. I'm a huge comic geek and I can't think of another lesbian superhero in all of mainstream comics. And if I'm wrong I'm missing maybe one. There's a lesbian cop that plays a supporting role in Batman comics and, strangely, also a lesbian cop that used to be featured in Superman comics, but every single female superhero before this new Batwoman was straight. Your post just doesn't make any sense.
Why don't you become a superhero. You could get a spandex suit a cape and a mask and become Isabel-Estrogen Queen with the superpower of being able to converse online with geeks without being disgusted.
Estrogen Queen - I like that. See, I'm not just an ordinary drama queen; it's my super-feminine estrogen overload kicking in. Batman Jones - I guess I wasn't just talking about actual comic characters, but: popular entertainment overall, and also the rumors that have swirled around various supposedly straight female characters in various media. So... all kinds of stuff, in other words. Meanwhile, back to our new realistic superheroine: Butchwoman. She has short hair (on her head, that is, but it's also the same length on her legs and under her arms). Lots of tattoos and piercings, wears flannel, and used to play in the WNBA. One of her disguises is as a man. When she's not out fighting crime, she's chasing after some of those new, curvaceous, stylish lesbian superheroines (who play the "femme" role in relationships).
