Someone called for heroine cheesecake done right?

You know, in the vinyl world, with things like the Big Barda and Emma Frost and Supergirl statues (and the Mary Jane one, for nostalgia's sake), and the negative reactions they received from feminists, and the negative reactions those feminists received from those who Just Didn't Get It, I'd say the sculptors and fanbrats defending the

IT IS ALL SO TRUE. Everything you say. I hadn't seen that stupid Supergirl one before your link and man. It really just makes me so. Angry.

Plus, I'm not fat or ugly! Therefore, my opinion actually means something, right, boys? *tee hee*

[vejiicakes]

Gyeh. I mean, I think the sculpting on her face is cute and everything, but she's just so "Teehee I'm a widdle Supergirl aren't I precious? ♥" which GAG.

And shoot, even if you weren't not Fat and Ugly™, that's so non-issue and just- it- really pushes along this idea that if you don't fall into the narrow definition of what's "hot" (by which I mean "acceptable") that people just don't want to hear from you. Ugh.

Teehee I'm a widdle Supergirl aren't I precious?

Exactly! I mean, her body is ridiculous but it really is her face that makes me the angriest. I love how comicbook guys can always - ALWAYS find ways to reduce even thhe strongest female characters into bimbos.

Isn't it funny how the world works that way? I mean, I hate to say it, but sometimes even I find myself doing that whole "Out of all these opinions, the only opinion that's truly valid is from the fit/pretty/appealing person". Guh, it's creepy how ingrained into society (at least, my society) that belief is. *tries to shake behaviour out of head*

HAHAHA I was wondering where Remy came into the argument. But naw, all crushes are happy and rainbow sprinkles and sizzlin' hotness ^_^

Oh DAMN did this remind me of some forum floorcrawlers a while back who were wailing amongst each other that, "OMG fangirls are so superficial and think all boys should look like those stupid girly bishounen they see in the manga and liek they don't know what a REAL MAN looks like! So they're turning us down because they want to fuck some hawt fake Japanese girlyboys who don't exist even though we're what REAL MEN look like and WHATEVER BECAUSE ALL THOSE GIRLS AND FAT AND UGLY AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO FUCK THEM ANYWAY."

Only slightly paraphrased.

Revy's crazed sneers make me weak in the knees X3

Came here via glockgal, and man. I mean, all the statues you linked to are terrible, but at least Emma and MJ have very long histories of cheesecake stupidity, and Supergirl has been torso'd for several years. But the Barda one *kills* me, because I always think of her as this strong, badass woman who probably carried her husband over the threshhold. To see her in a, "Come and get it, boys!" pose makes me want to punch something.

[vejiicakes]

Exactly! I mean (okay, the fact that they've been served not so well in years past isn't an excuse, for one, but I'm sure that wasn't the focus anyway) HOW much of a stretch would it have been to get Barda, in that outfit and thus still providing plenty of wank material or whatever it is those busts are made for... DOING something? They have no excuse! None! Even the Powergirl bust showed more personality and proactivity than her, and talk about long histories of cheesecake stupidity-!

[errantimpulses]

See, the thing I hate about those statues is, at some point, those "ladies" stop looking even human!

[vejiicakes]

Word. That thing some men get when they see another guy get kneed in the balls? Symapthy pains? I'm an A-cup and the Emma makes my torso SCREAM in protest.

*makes gooey eyes at your icon*
