Stephanie Brown and Babs Gordon both have smaller chest. S. Brown Is Pretty small in the comics!

That’s one of the things that always irritated me about fan art of superheroines and, even more, female fighters.

Take Chun Li in Street Fighter.

They will draw her with her customarily powerful thighs, most of her attacks are leg based, but then give her these bazongas the size of yoga balls. If they would just think about how much of an obstruction having breasts that big would be to fighting. The balance issues, not to mention them just plain getting in the way.

I have no problem with large breasts, but let’s keep them proportional to the figure or the character’s mission performance. They aren’t Little Annie Fannie from Playboy, these are women of action.

Yeah, this reminds me of how annoyed I get when Cyclops is drawn all jacked. His main power is in shooting eye beams, I really don’t see why he would have such a body builder body. I know, I know, they say he trained in martial arts, but to me it just doesn’t look right.

I agree with the Chun Li bit, and hate when they don’t put a pair of decent biceps on her. But that’s just my bias talking.

Now when it comes to fan art, drawing her out of comics, out of video games, and just for pure fandom. Then go ahead and give her the giant breasts, the huge thigh muscles, and maybe some nice veiny biceps. But when it comes to mainstream media? She should look like a fighter, not a porn star.

It’s a game. The idea is to entertain. Her breasts are fine. Torches and pitchforks are unnecessary.

Nerds and muscle nerds are the worst critics.

You misunderstand, for me this is an issue that runs much deeper than, “Oh look, tits and ass.” I mean look at the forum we’re all a part of, look at my DA. If anyone enjoys a naked, voluptious, muscle woman, it’s me.

The problem I have been having lately, especially with Wonder Woman, is that she’s a terrible role model for young females. These character designs are constantly geared for a male audience and are always created to appeal to the lowest common denominator. So when a woman says, “Guys, can’t they feature a girl wearing a bit more clothing in this game?” The usual response from males is, “Shut your whore mouth. GTFO. Shut up bitch. Go back to the kitchen where you belong…etc.”

Comics for the longest time have been in a downward spiral of objectifying women and DC is the biggest culprit of them all.

For the longest time i didn’t have a problem with this, because I didn’t think it was an actual issue. It wasn’t until I joined twitter and started following various news outlets that I realize how horrible the male audience treats their female counter parts.

That’s why I didn’t want to support the kickstarter for Sinnsationals. I mean, it’s great that it got funded for the fans. But the bottom line is, no matter how the artists words it, it’s a fan service comic. I looked at his DA and his “inspiration” photo wall was tits and asses. I personally don’t want to continue encouraging the mal treatment of women in the media and in real life.

However, I’m not going to go out of my way and start protesting or anything crazy like that. If people want to see WW have giant boobs and fight, that’s fine. It’s not fine when verbal insults are thrown at female gamers who want a character that look a little less… pornstar-ish.

To be taken -seriously- as a strong female character, yes.

To be placed in a fighting game series that has over sexualized female characters who are nothing more than sex objects? No.

DC in my eyes has become a joke. Now before I get burned for heresy, as iconic and memorable as their cast of characters are. The bottom line is that their female lineup is treated like tits and ass. This is what the comic industry believes a woman should be portrayed as.

I don’t agree with it, not for mainstream comics at least. I love big breasts and big female muscles like the rest of us fans, but I prefer those depictions be kept away from the younger more impressionable readers. What mainstream comics should be doing is featuring women of a variety of shapes and sizes. Fat, thin, flat chested, flat butt, medium build, heavy, short, scrawny, muscular.

Instead it’s nothing but constant porn star bodies ready to do some super powered fucking. Porn star bodies are great, if you’re trying to sell sex. But if you have readers of 8 and younger, giving girls a complex and making boys treat women like objects. That’s when I have a problem with their depictions of so-called “heroines.”

Sorry for the rant, I’m just really disappointed with how DC has been handling their characters lately.

We could say the same things about the male characters and the hyper-muscularity. Hell, on social networking sites, the majority of female friends objectify men to mutual “ooos” and “ahhs” FAR more then any of male friends do to women.

And no, this is NOT a defense, just an observation.

I got the game. I like the takedown she performs on the opponent involving her Amazon sisters.

[Nick Furry]

Kinda LARGE I think!!

[sacul]

agreed! i don’t mind large breasts of course, but i feel that making them too large simply takes away from her character.
