Do comic book 粉丝 care too much about character images?

Okay normally what I gather from what I read comic book 粉丝 are tired of the overly sexualized portrayal of women in comics and that's understandable. Why can't there be 更多 women in full body armor 或者 why can't there be a chubby super heroine without that being her power? Both are nice to see every once in a while and it makes the comics 更多 realistic because not every person likes dressing like a stripper 或者 not eating bacon.

Then I stumbled upon this thread while searching for images.

The 评论 on there are horrible. For one the 图片 they use do not look fat. Hell even though I wear a small and need a 带, 皮带 for every pair of pants I own my stomach is not washboard flat. Does this mean I'm fat? Also why can't Layla have her weird bargain bin sense of style? For one the picture they used is from a dystopian future where it can't be easy to find designer clothes and for two what's wrong with a odd sense of style? If anything it just makes her seem better to me because it means she's confident enough to wear what she wants. Maybe everyone on that thread is being sarcastic (which is hard to convey through the internet) and I'm just sensitive to the topic because she's one of my 最喜爱的 characters.

What do 你 think?

X-Men 答案

Those people are either trolling 或者 a new breed of stupid. I'm so sick of people bothering with the weight of characters. Honestly, in older times, 你 were considered a higher class if 你 were a higher weight because 你 could afford food.

Besides that, it would be nice to see girls coming into the Institute who are normal sized teenage girls. I know I am definitely overweight (not obese 或者 anything, but I have 更多 fat than flat). It could be the start of another crappy (yes, another one) story line where these girls come out who were afraid to 加入 the X-men because they were afraid of being bullied 由 "freaks like themselves" because of something as simple as their weight.

I'm just tired of characters either being anorexic stripper-like whores 或者 disgustingly obese freaks. It's a little ironic considering society is now trying to push the whole "you're beautiful as long as 你 爱情 yourself" thing, but they still keep this bullshit going.

Onto wardrobe choices, in the words of Peter Griffin, who the hell cares? Honestly? Who cares what she wears as long as she still kicks major ass? It goes back to the whole, if she (even though she's a character, but that's besides the point) is happy, can't we all be happy for her and her fashion choices, even if they aren't something we would always wear?

But to answer the first question, yes, I believe they care too much. It's just not always in the best way.

What’s sad is even when they try to write a character that is insecure about their appearance it’s something stupid and they’re drawn gorgeously anyways. Like Madeline Berry from Avengers Academy. She makes 评论 that give us the impression that she thinks she’s overweight and she looks freaking borderline anorexic! Her biggest complaint is her boobs are too small and I guess when you’re surrounded 由 triple D’s it might seem that way but she looks fine! 更多 than fine actually! Then at the other end of the spectrum are characters like Thumbelina whose whole character revolves around the fact that she’s big. Though I guess this problem isn’t limited to comics but it seems to be an easy thing to fix in comics. All 你 have to do is draw the character differently and though it might take 更多 time the 粉丝 would appreciate the 更多 realistic characters. Well at least some of the 粉丝 because there will always be those people who focus too much on how a character looks.

I think its just females, which is sad. Once upon a time in the Comics, Nightcrawler had a hang up about his appearence, the Prof. made a device called an Image Inducer. He wore it and was reasonably happy, til Wolverine challenged him not to hide anymore. It worked out.
