So comic artist Frank Cho is getting A TON of negative backlash today for drawing a parody cover of the now infamous Spider-Woman variant cover drawn by Milos Manara.

What the fuck happened? Remember when art was art and people didn't always get offended?

Why do you think you get to control what sorts of depictions of women men are allowed to see? Why do you think you get to control artists?

The truth is that this whole issue is about insecurity. ~60% of American women are overweight or obese, and they don't like getting reminded that men's idea of an ideal women doesn't look like them.

>you might as well ask hurr why are people opposed to overt racism in media, can you show any study that says making nigger jokes on TV leads to actual lynchings hurp durp

The ideal female form is one that looks like it's in shape and healthy. Fictional women are merely stylized representations of that form and figure. And as an anon mentioned, most 60% of American women don't have that form because they are overweight, thus they hate the figure represented in fictional women because they don't have that figure nor do they have the drive to achieve it even though all that's needed half the time is a decent diet and cardio. In other words, they are lazy as fuck and refuse to eat healthy. But that applies to most Americans in general.

Talk about being bad at analogies. That is the most nonsensical justification for your hypocritical demands for special treatment of women that I've ever heard. It's ok for women to leer at men, but not vice versa because men and women's positions in society are as different as tigers and apples? Fucking yikes.

>MUH FREE SPEECH NOBODY CAN CRITICIZE ANYBODY

It's really creepy how common this disdain for free speech is among you social justice commissars. All I said was that artists should be allowed to draw women of any shape and state of dress that they like, and suddenly you're raving about how pathetic free speech is. Again, yikes.

You're a nut. I'm glad people like you are mostly confined to the more laughable corners of the Internet.

You think Michelangelo made them like that by mistake? Because he didn't know any better? No. He never aimed for realism, but for idealization. a healthy person should not feel like they have to measure up to the ideal of the perfect body, but a lot of morbidly obese ones feel bad about themselves when looking at it, because it makes them realize how far they have strayed from the ideal, and that they don't actually like the way they are.

I don't really understand this argument. do you know that everything considered "ideal" is unconsciously sexuality based ? everything is sex related, wether you like it or not. that's the reason why there isn't fatass girls on fashion magazines or stuff like that. actually, let's not even talk about "ideal". A woman in good shape is just a normal fucking woman. overweight is not a standard.

it's too bad sexuality which is the basis of life is regarded as such a taboo in a society, it only leads to more shady prostitution and social disparity than anything else when it really shouldn't. it's childish even.

now, if you think a back shot of a "spider" girl is sexual, then in what fucking position would you draw her in to show she's actually one ? that she's as flexible as a spider and still looking good ? it's already a good effort to not show her crotch, which would be considered even more sexual.

you're offended right now, you big whiner.

speaking as someone who hated the original cover, i think this one is permissably funny, since it's obviously pointing out how inappropriately cheesecakey the original was. also this female is looking at the audience, she is participating in the joke and seems aware of her physical charms, instead of just being looked at.

Marvel and DC sort of dug their own grave by listening to these people and humoring them. You know why journalists stopped picking on Kamiya, Kojima, and Kamitani? Because they either shut them down, or ignore them. When you apologize, or pull your art you are validating them and they want more.

I think we are close to hitting the breaking point though. Tumblr has recently lit up due to SJW's and feminists attacking lewd art of Steven Universe and they are starting to see tha painfully blatant double standards these people have. I think people in general are getting tired of looking out for peoples "feelings".

Don't be surprised, they contradict themselves constantly.

They'll complain about how the patriarchy has enforced unfair beauty ideals, but the moment you claim that they're unattractive they immediately have no issue with adhering to those beauty ideals. This doesn't go for women, but for men in the ideology too.

They'll mention how they're able to criticize problematic content, which is definitely fine, but then they become incredibly angry at anyone who dares disagrees with them. See: >>2045673


I'm a feminist myself, but the crowd behind the ideal isn't perfect. Some use the ideology as a platform to free themselves from criticism and constantly label other folks as: "regressive", [dum males lmaooo xD], or [right wing strawman].


>>2045696

Aside from the cover being posted privately. Even if it's offensive/problematic, there is nothing wrong with it.

13+ fiction isn't obligated to teach you morals, it's intended to present variety of themes (The Stantley Kubrick films, George Orwell novels, etc). Even mandatory school books like "The house of mango street" and "To Kill A Mockingbird had the subject matter of rape covered inside of it. Problematic content in literature doesn't deter teens from reading books, so why should comic book authors play it safe?

When you get how big companies operate, you'll realize that this isn't going to change because the problem is corporate identity. If companies just gave honest responses to this kind of bullshit they'd be fine, but since their decision making process is all about creating brands and preventing damage to them, meaning that in tricky situations they give whatever answer they think is going to hurt their image the least, they're succeptible to this kind of social pressure.

They were, but we are getting to the point where quite a bit of work and money is being thrown out in the name of social justice, and that, no matter what they do, these people will always demand more work be destroyed. Hell, there are some people actually arguing that they should change Gone Homo because it wasn't progressive enough.

Their image isn't being hurt nearly as much as these people are making out. Hell, journalists have being trying desperately to tarnish Nintendos reputation for years and people still don't give a fuck. Sales are coming back from a lot of the comics and just about all their progressive gimmicks have dropped considerably in terms of sales aside from Ms. Marvel. As I said, I think it's coming to an end. I could be wrong, but the whole "gender" and "sexuality" climate seems to be fading, much like the Christian mom thing before, and the evironmetalist one before it. These people got what they wanted but, much like predicted, still weren't happy and still didn't support the things they said they did and as a result many of the people who did have now stopped. Even that religious freedom bill in Indy is showing them just how little their kicking and screaming online really matters.

Now I just wonder what the next horrible thing will be.

Robbie Rodriguez is the artist who designed Spider-Gwen.

I don't think I've ever seen a more overblown response. I don't see anything wrong with the OP cover which was private and NOT a Marvel cover. Also, he does know people are drawing legit porn of her, right? This upsets him more than the porn, futa, being raped by monsters etc etc.

My theory on why there's so much fucking backlash over this shit isn't so much as feminists needing shit to be offended about as much as it is there isn't any good comics targeted at the female audience.

Thanks to all the popular movie franchises, tv series, and cartoons there's more of an interest in comics around the board but DC and Marvel haven't figured out what the new demographics are looking for. So you're getting an underserved audience complaining that they;re underserved but can't quite put their finger on why, and now you have professional complainers go "muh objectification" and the masses go "eh, i guess we can go with that."

Please stop talking about what you do not know. Seinen is not the Japanese version of "young adult". It was originally conceived as a target demographic spanning males from 20 to 30 year olds, and nowadays has become a broad term defined more by content than target demographic. Its target is certainly not "15-17 year olds".

That is not the original meaning. Since you know Japanese, you can just read the jp wikipedia article that says exactly what I said in my previous post.
>かつては主に20代~30代の男性を対象としていた
It literally says that originally it was intended for people in their twenties and thirties. The meaning of the word seinen itself can refer to people up to their thirties anyways. In case you don't believe me:

Because that's what they're drawing. Western art since the Renaissance has relied a lot on staged posing. Models can't hold off-balance poses, or stay in midair.

They also can't hyper-flex, which the body can sustain for only fractions of a second when in motion. This is why you get a bunch of idiots saying "this pose is impossible!", while people with animation backgrounds go in the opposite direction and "push the gesture."

Fatness was sexy for that exactly reason a few centuries ago, as was pale skin (as tanned skin was seen as a mark of a laborer). What fat bitches don't understand is it was a phase and the logic has nothing to do with today's society where calory dense food is cheaper and easier to eat than nutritious food.

Evolution isn't directional. There are no universally good traits, only traits that are useful in a certain environment.
Whatever genetic ideal you're thinking of, it's mostly a mess of ancient, obsolete mechanisms repurposed to tasks completely unrelated to what they originally developed to do.

The ability to store a shitton of calories as subcutaneous fat used to be useful back when starvation was a real threat to the human race.
Since then, we've invented farming and started living in cities, making it something of a liability.
That doesn't mean that people genetically liable to become fat have better or worse genes. They're just genes optimized towards a different environment.

>Even female comic artists like AWitt are sick of this shit.

It's funny: you'd think reading this shit that it's mostly women complaining about sexy drawings, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be mostly chubby dudes who are doing the complaining.

The outrage over sexy drawings of female characters seems to come primarily from these chubby whiteknights like *nods respectfully* guy (pic related) and, to a lesser extent, fat women who feel insecure about depictions of female beauty that don't look like them.

I wish I was just as good and cute of an artist as her.

At least the skill part is possible, I guess.

See, of course she isn't insulted by sexy drawings of spiderwomen, because she doesn't feel threatened by them.

Only ugly people get upset about sexy drawings. Ugly women because they feel insecure, and ugly men because they think they can get chicks by towing the feminist party line.

Lol you sound fat. Obesity is undesirable. Anyone who is genetically liable to become fat has objectively worse genes than someone who is not. Obesity scores poorly on any rubric you set it to, except for the one or two that you mentioned that have absolutely no use in any civilization for the last few thousand years. It's like saying " oh there's nothin wrong with being a mouth breathing fucking retard, after all it came in handy back in the days where smarter people were burned alive for fear of being witches!"

No, you retard.

There is no such thing as "objectively worse genes". Biological traits are only good or bad in a certain environment. Saying that genetic tendency towards obesity is "bad" because it's useless in an environment where food is abundant is like saying that having white skin is bad because of the thinning of the ozone layer in the last few decades. Yes, it's less useful in an environment with more ultraviolet radiation, but there's nothing objective about that environment.

A short hand for 'only useful in certain very specific conditions' is also known as 'bad'.

Not him, but fat-to-mustle ratio is tied to testosterone levels, so a man genetically predisposed to higher body fat percentage is an inferior male specimen. Same goes for women. Your actual fat is determined (disregarding activity) by your caloric intake, but a man with higher test will have more of that intake used for building and maintaining muscle, thus being less fat.

There is literally no environment or set of circumstance where low test is anything but bad.

That's pseudoscience, even if it wasn't a genetic predisposition towards gaining weight like a slow metabolism actually makes it easier to pack on muscle.
For example, mohamad ali was genetically inclined towards being fat as is his daughter who appreciates it much less.
