In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.
וכמו כן, צריך לעצור את רצח העם בדרפור.

morin for giving me a great birthday present!!!To any of you wondering who this is... it's melody_kitty... only now I'm eumelia - which is "melody" in Greek.
About a week ago I talked about changing my user name and as you can see. I did.
I'm very pleased with it :D

Because my righteous rage has been, for the past few months, been a little too much and since I enjoy having people enjoy my writing I was trying to cool off on the whole "I'm angry and this is why..." posts.
It was working.
Until I saw these:
( Cut for hugely objectifying images of a comic book character who should NOT be objectified in this manner! )
Now I've read the many... very many... livejournal entries, blog posts, newsletter issues and more, about this for sale image of Mary-Jane of Marvel Comics.
I wasn't sure I had anything to add.
Other than the fact that I'm, uh, outraged?!
That this, this! is how the Big Wigs (which includes Joe Quesada the Editor in Chief) at Marvel decides to approve the portrayal as one of the best known non-superhero/heroine characters of the Marvel Universe.
This is, by the way, just the latest incident in which they deform a female character in order to titillate the "target audience" into buying these God awful statues.
( They did it to Emma Frost )
And if you thing Marvel are the only ones... well, shall we see what the DC Big Wigs (Dan Didio and Paul Luvitz, are who I'm thinking about) do to their Heroines. Or more to the point, allow to be done and approve it for sale!
( My own personal heroine, Catwoman )
( Supergirl... lucky she's wearing a cape... otherwise she'd be showing cleavage on both ends )
This, my readers, is such bullshit!
It is in fact, as the icon says: "...bullshit, guano and horseshit all dumped together in wasteland".
And no, I don't think the outrage is "too much", it should spread like wildfire, the Internet must be awash with girls, women, boys and men, furious at the literal objectification of female characters to nothing more than cheescakery, T&A images made, to promote the company and not the actual characters who all happen to be women.
I'm not being over sensitive, I'm being totally serious.
It's all fine and dandy that the heroines wear skimpy outfits and are at times (most of the time) posed and sexualized, I don't like it, but it's better than it used to be and I do believe the Big Wigs are listening to a certain extent and are trying to see that their "target audience" are not just teenage boys, who really don't need to be encourages to view women as sexual objects.
They do it just fine with the rest of popular culture showing them that this is the fact.
However, since Mary-Jane is not a heroine. She is in fact the spouse of Peter Parker, one of the most if not The Most Popular Hero in Comics, Spiderman. And as such she obviously does his washing and cleaning and presents herself to him as the "little woman" she is.
Yes, that was sarcastic.
