Comics - Responding To Sexism
I understand trying to make comics female friendly, but aren't you guys
worried that you're going to lose your core audience which is male? In
the X-books you've had more focus on the likes on these females like
jean and kitty while it should be Cyclops who has been the star of the
X-Men comics for years. What warrants these characters more page time
than him? Jean and kitty are secondary characters. You guys listen too
much to women bitching. They cause so much freakin drama in comicdom. -Anon
Wow. you are the first person who I am kind of glad asked your question anonymously because I don’t want to know you.
As a reader of my work I want you to listen to me very carefully:
you have major major issues. almost every line of your question reeks of
complete misunderstanding of yourself as a man and of women in general.
It’s okay to find yourself more interested in something than others,
of course it is, it’s okay to like Cyclops more than Jean Grey, but
for you to draw the line at women characters not being interesting to
you because you are a man or that you think I am being manipulated by
some bitching women is really out there.
And as a reader of the X-Men whose entire philosophy is about tolerance and understanding… you are missing the point.
