I’m sure all my superhero fans here are familiar with the male gaze and female gaze concept. And to those of you who aren’t, male gaze is defined as “A way of looking at the world through a masculine lens that views women as sexual objects”. And recently women have been complaining a lot about this. So to all my Marvel fans reading this, isn’t the whole point of superheroes to look big and muscular. Like you wouldn’t read the comics or watch the movies if every man like looked like Steve Rogers before the super soldier serum lol. And neither would women. And same goes for the female superheroes. Like we want to see attractive women on screen. That doesn’t mean we objectify women. And these days a lot of women are saying stuff like Black Widow was too sexualized. Like I admit Scarlett Johansson has faced a lot of sexism but the reason she was casted is to appeal to the male audience. It’s the same with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth but they were casted to appeal to the female audience. Now when you mention this they say that the scenes of Thor and Captain America showing muscles are male gaze like what? That’s bullshit. 90% of the female viewers wouldn’t watch marvel if it weren’t for those scenes. And these characters have been drawn this way since the comics. And the women still go on to say stuff like oh but that’s for the male gaze because it represents power and blah blah blah. Like of course the comics were drawn to cater to men because 50 years ago literally no woman read superhero comics. Now I’ve literally heard women say “Omg I don’t know anything about this superhero bullshit but Chris Evans is so hot”. But on the internet they will lie and tell you that they are only attracted to “feminine” male characters like Loki. And if a man dare say he finds Scarlett Johansson hot, he will be crucified. I just wanna make it clear that I don’t think women should be treated like objects and should be treated like humans, but we can’t even admire a woman’s looks without being called misogynists. What do you guys think?
