hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
My media class told our teacher about this commercial so she looked it up and we watched it in class then she was like “omg they are going to fire me.”
All my love to those who serve this great nation and to the families for all they do to support them.
My dad always was so quiet after coming home on days he had to do this.
I know this isn’t love but this… This is so powerful and I want this on my blog. My sisters boyfriend is going into the Marines and I hope that she never has to get anything like this. Please stay safe Mitchell.
