This is why we can't have nice things. Part 839.

Yeah, no one has been saying the artists can't draw. Headdesk.

Seriously? Because drawing Oracle like she's looking up ready to suck your cock isn't objectifying her at all.

They’re all good drawings. Again, not [sic] the anatomy, the clothing and the lighting; really, note the clothing-how often is Oracle seen just wearing a skintight boobsock-style

Until Batman is drawn like a porn star, don't try to defend this to me as just good art.

Moreover, until Batman is drawn like a porn star as frequently and as prominently as female characters are drawn like porn stars. On the cover. On the splash. Whenever he takes one of his frequent showers. Whenever he's tied up by the bad guy, or shown slipping into or out of his bat costume.

[amonitrate]

Yes, thank you. That's a very important point.

When Batman is nearly always drawn like a porn star about to moan your name, on the cover of his own title, yeah.

Oh god, Mr. Wesley's response to you.

*puts head on desk, breathes through nose.*

It's not even a contest.

[amonitrate]

wow, way to miss the point... again.

This guy is serious?

About how our arguments boil down to saying the artists can't draw, but he's going to prove they can, silly girlies?

Even with the attitude to women prevalent in those post-war days, which looks like a competent, professional reporter?

yep, that's exactly what he's trying to argue. It's a new one for the bingo card!

[amonitrate]

it's apparently too much to ask. At this point I'd settle for super models. We get porn stars, most of the time. At least on the covers.
