seriousficSo, if you've not been following this recent Catwoman/Starfire controversy (oh, for a world where the controversy is that Selina and Kory have pulled a Xena & Gabrielle), one of the things that crops up a lot in the articles is that the sexuality on display isn't depicting a sexually liberated woman, but appealing to straight male readers. And that's true, but the thing is, I haven't noticed many straight men liking it. I checked the comments on that mailing list I told you about and my Fempop article and while there is some ambivalence and naysaying and trolling and "this comic is aimed at boys!", I don't see anyone saying "This is a good direction for the character" or "I find this appealing."
Just praise for the art. I have to say though, 1. why would someone that curvy have visible ribs? and 2. Is that a little kid taking a picture of her in the background?
Let's face it, not all of you are here for my insightful commentary and exotic good looks. Some of you are here because I wrote about the cast of Sucker Punch having an orgy. And that's okay! We're pervs! I'm proud to be a pervert. I'm good at it.
Now, speaking as someone who would "tap that," I find myself in the familiar position of being insulted, insulted, that this is meant to appeal to me as a sexual fantasy. I may be a pervert, good sir, but I have my principles! So I was thinking of writing an article from the pervs' POV.
No, less racist.
If you're someone with a vested interest in sexy, sexy Starfire, drop in a comment with your feelings about the reboot. I'll see what I can do about whipping it into an article. Feel free to comment anonymously. I'll practice some smidgen of journalistic ethics, even if it means I have to retire my catchphrase of "What am I, a journalist?" (Nothing feels better than to bust that out when someone asks if you even did research on Wildstorm superhero Voodoo's background).
Let's put one in the Real World section of the Chivalrous Pervert TV Tropes.
