Apparently, the comic book world is full of womanhaters.

Female solipsism is action.

"Gee, if I see something that makes me not love myself, it must have been designed to make me not love myself, by someone who gets off on that very thing!"

McFeely_Smackup · 2013-09-17T15:04:26+00:00

Is this because she's fat?

She DOES realize that the stereotype of a "comic book guy" is not exactly a fit athletic Adonis, right?

Oh right, she doesn't care. Because the whole fucking world revolves around her and how things make her feel. She's externalizing the inner loathing she has for herself.

also, she's a comic herself. so what's up with that?

ThePigmanAgain · 2013-09-17T12:39:19+00:00

Following this logic, the "men" she mentions also love to make men "not love" themselves -- not many blokes built like Batman or Nightwing, you know. Who the "men" are is not clear. Is she whining about the creators? The men who buy the comics and therefore have a big say in how the women are depicted? Can the woman responsible for this even think straight? Tune in next week. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel for the answer to these and other trivial questions.

PS

I bumped into this while doing an image search for hot chicks wearing superhero costumes -- you know, while making women feel bad about themselves.

Neurotikitty · 2013-09-17T14:11:56+00:00

This is implying that there's a concerted effort in the comic world to make women feel bad about themselves, rather than maybe an undesirable side effect of women comparing themselves to unrealistic comic images (which can happen to men as well!). This is like, the definition of a nutty conspiracy theory.

Cthulusbaby · 2013-09-17T12:41:53+00:00

This kind of shit is real first-world privilege. Nothing worse to worry about than a bunch of drawings on paper.

ilovenotohio · 2013-09-17T13:15:42+00:00

This is fat acceptance disguised as nerddom.

baskandpurr · 2013-09-17T13:05:42+00:00

"Geeky stuff"

You know, stuff, that is geeky, because geeky people like it.

MaxMayhem · 2013-09-17T13:05:41+00:00

Hmmmm, now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it WOMEN who predominantly pay movie ticket prices for the nonsense that is the Jennifer Aniston/Gwenyth Paltrow Rom-Com's?

So, the svelt blondes in these movies isn't sending any negative body-messages to the fat asses in the seats??? Really?

But no, let's go after comicbook culture, something mostly dominated and perused by men and blame THAT for their' self-loathing. Yeah, that's it, NOT the chick-flicks with the skinny actress or the Cosmo & People magazines, or the iced cream she shovels into her depressed hole....comicbooks, yeah, THAT'S the problem.

EDIT: Spellin', gramm-ah!

dalsgaard · 2013-09-17T12:28:00+00:00

......... "Awwwwwwwwww".

What a tough fucking life.

SteveHanJobs · 2013-09-17T14:25:12+00:00

Ohhh, I am becoming that old man again!

Does anyone remember the good old days when we nerds could enjoy comics and video games, and women shamed us for that? Now we are being shamed for these things not being as accessible to women? Wtf? What's next, the programming industry? Wait.... Oh dammit'....

Terry_Bruce_Dick · 2013-09-17T13:21:43+00:00

I hate it when fat people try to make it my fault that they're fat.

Redxl1 · 2013-09-17T13:14:26+00:00

Translation: I'm a big bright shiny star, pay attention to me! Shower me with gold and compliments you rape apologist!

ArchangelleNiggatron · 2013-09-17T12:14:01+00:00

So, because a man likes it you're forced to hate yourself?

Also, I'm not entirely sure what the woman is saying, because her grammar took a nosedive in the last panel.

"because that stuff and the men that love it, LOVE to make us women not love ourselves"

Reading it again, it makes a bit more sense, but it's still RIDICULOUSLY hard to read.

Xenoith · 2013-09-17T23:31:37+00:00

Haha, what?

Because comics and entertainment in general really make fat men look heroic or desirable. /s

I wish they'd fuck off and stop making everything about their poor gender. Talk about first world problems.

2013-09-17T14:26:28+00:00

I, too, often hate the other fans of some of the things I like. however, I have learned to get over this.

kragshot · 2013-09-17T21:48:56+00:00

You know...this whole comic is ironic, considering the fact that most superhero comics are filled with both males and females who have been transformed into larger than life individuals. The women are transformed into buxom and statuesque heroes and the men are similarly changed into buff and titan-like heroes.

Captain America is the ultimate story of the pencil-neck geek who becomes the larger than life epitome of a hero...especially considering that the super soldier serum simply made Steve Rogers resemble on the outside what he already was on the inside.

I'm sorry that the comic strip artist feels that badly about her self-image, but again...the answer to this lies within. If she can draw that strip, she can draw comics with female heroes that will make her feel good about her self-image.

But again, just like gaming, film, and literature...this is not about feminists stepping up and doing something for themselves; this is about feminists complaining, guilting, and whining until men stop doing what they are already doing and start doing what they want done.

Space_Ninja · 2013-09-18T00:05:43+00:00

"How come all the women in comic books are hot and beautiful while I'm just a big fat disgusting greasy haired slob? Must be the patriarchy!"

Feminism: empowering women to wallow in their own sorrow?

They're such strong, independent victims.

QUICK_ANAL_OFFICER · 2013-09-17T16:34:17+00:00

We rape them with our eyes while they read our testosterone-coated male power fantasy graphic stories.

TheOtherBono · 2013-09-17T18:11:14+00:00

Not tumblr enough. Needs at least 4 trigger warnings on the first panel, and a picture of an indigenous woman from 30 years ago used as PROOF of why this is an important issue 30 years later in another country for a different 'problem'

and 50 mindless reblogs

inyourarea · 2013-09-17T18:49:00+00:00

I love comic books and anime, never once have I made a woman who also loves such things feel anything bad about herself. This logic makes me sick. (The Author most likely isn't really a geek)

quit reading frank millers new stuff then

Apparently now comic book nerds are so successful with women that they can afford to hate them.

Last_Years_Villain · 2013-09-17T15:24:46+00:00

She's mad that she's fat.

MockingDead · 2013-09-17T17:37:46+00:00

Lose weight.

Confidence and happiness comes by matching your expectations with reality. You want to be beautiful, then make it so. Stop bitching about idealization, lower your expectations of what is real, and then go and get it.

C0CKPUNCHER · 2013-09-18T05:03:08+00:00

How do you make someone not love them self? I can't make my son put on a pair of socks? I can put his socks on or ask him to do it, but I can't control his volition to make him do it. Stopping him from doing something (whining) is even more impossible.

fukuaneveryoneuknow · 2013-09-18T06:20:10+00:00

20+ years ago no sane person would even utter the phrase "I love geeky stuffy".

It would be social suicide.

Those same people however who were called geeks regardless, were largely male, its the reason much of what is considered geeky is male dominated.

These kind of women don't love "geeky stuff" they love to love geeky stuffy because thats whats cool to like now.

jealkeja · 2013-09-18T23:51:09+00:00

That fucking tumblr nose.

Levy_Wilson · 2013-09-17T15:31:30+00:00

What the fuck is this stuff doing on /r/mensrights. It has no reason being here.

Galaxymac · 2013-09-17T18:34:17+00:00

There was an article about this awhile back, about fake geek girls. I believe the man who wrote it was a comic book writer. I was not amused. Those, the loud minority with influence, is to blame, not geekdom nor men nor comics.
