Welcome to: If Male Superhero Costumes were Designed Like Female Superhero Costumes!

Aaaaa I dunno. I got tired of guys having no idea why girls find female superhero’s costumes kinda sexist, so I, um, made this?

My main goals were: 1) Make it so the first thing you think of when you look at them is sex, whether you want to or not. 2) make it so that any male human who looks at this feels really uncomfortable. 3) make it funny, because, well, it’s kinda hilarious really.

Not trying to start a war here, just wanted to poke a bit of fun.

So, here you go menfolk, welcome to being a girl who likes comics.

Really what commentary do I need to add to this?

>2) make it so that any male human who looks at this feels really uncomfortable

What if I don’t feel uncomfortable? :V

I dunno, it’s not like male characters in comics don’t already have absurd hypersexualized designs themselves. But I’m told those “don’t count” because it’s also part of the male fantasy and blah blah blah.

I dunno, I just think this kind of thing is getting super old and they’ve lost their “bite” as far as criticism and commentary on the comic industry goes.

S’all about context. You tell me Power Girl’s design is sexist and I’ll call you an idiot. You tell me Bomb Queen’s design is sexist and I’ll agree with you 100%.

We get it, you don’t like how some females in comics have sexy costume designs. But there are just as many practical and non-sexualized costumes for females in comics that seem to be ignored in these situations. Same goes for the dudes. There are tons of sexist and sexualized designs for dudes and there are just as many practical ones as well.

But without that variety.. eh, things would just be boring.

Just felt like getting that mini-rant out of my system.

There is a difference between “hypersexualized” and “idealized”.

It’s why Wolverine doesn’t fight crime like this;

Even though that’s not a far mark away from this;

Also the difference between Image’s Glory then;

And now;
