Have you ever wondered why do comic book
artist think and write about these kinds of heroes that portrayed such a
masculine type. What were their thoughts and how do they write about these kinds
of comics where in real life there aren’t any superheroes who are buffed. Are they
really men? Or some of them are female illustrators. What if all of the
problems disappeared, and no one gave a BS type of answer, will some people
think about that?
When I was browsing through the net I
saw an article that intrigued my attention on an article titled “When AreComic-Book Superheroes Gonna Be Objectified Like Wonder Woman?” written by Dan Avery
in the Queerty. In his article he wrote about his opinion on about the comic
books that have been selling through decades. He cited on how men superheroes
looked like in dressed in comic book, he also said that men are barely drawn
sexy in any way, poses, clothes and even on the story. As the men looked buff
and wore skin typed clothes, women often wore sexy big breast clothes. In his
opinion he is troubled by the fact that on the side of men, they do not usually
please the same type of straight men in their comics. In fact men would be glad
to draw women clothing rather than drawing muscular guys for muscular guys. “It’s
too easy to say comics are created by straight guys for straight guys. Entire
communities of gays comics fans have popped up nationwide” said Dan, when comic
books were a hit there was also the time gays shined. He thinks that these kinds of comics where
muscular ideal guy’s women believe are straight guys who write it for them.
On the other hand when talking about
women being objectified in different kinds of comics I would rather say one
article made me smile. In the article “What Would Female Superheroes Look LikeIf They Weren't Objectified?” written by Elizabeth Plank on Arts.Mic. She showed
illustrations of another work of an illustrator on female heroes if they weren’t
objectified. First is about super woman who doesn’t even need to wear spandex
to show her strong side, second power
girl who’s big breast made her look awesome and fierce, there are a lot more. “Although
female superheroes such as Wonder Woman are often considered bold feminist
icons epitomizing female strength and duress, they’ve also been the targets of
criticism because of their sexualized facade.” said Elizabeth. She wanted to
make people see after all these sexism on super hero women if these problems didn’t
exist super hero women would be freely recognize
Women are highly sexualized in comics
and real life. Fit women in yoga pants, leggings, skirts and shorts attract men’s
attention. I think if you can look at a woman sexually and appreciate her mind
personality and courage. Wonder Woman is a sexy and strong character but yeah
the way she is drawn does show the pig in us. Good thing there are people who
would see her differently. I refuse to pretend like sex is not on the brain of
men and women whom ignore it. When I was still a child I would watch Wonder
Woman and I will probably to grow to want the sexual attention of men because
of what I saw in her that men liked so much.
