I wouldn't mind if Geo-Forc...I don't know. I wouldn't mind if Geo-Force were to be killed off, because I simply can't STAND him. I also think that I'd hate him if he were female, but that's just me. <br /><br />Nevertheless, there are some women characters that I don't like much. Maxima for example. I can't even explain exactly WHY I don't like her...I just don't. <br /><br />I do have to say that your "How I learned to stop worrying and love the BombQueen" line made em laugh out loud.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-62618473278365674782010-12-05T04:03:16.272-05:002010-12-05T04:03:16.272-05:00Exactly!

The Sharon hate is not only tied to gender, but supported by the run of a single writer and extremely strange in rhetoric, just like my old Jade posts and probably the much worse Cassie ranting (that was all done in message board time, and CBR doesn't have archives that far back or else I'd show you).<br /><br />It's like the sexism of writers has oozed onto the characters themselves and is provoking a reaction. They're designed to be hateful women, so we hate them.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-33328689171623692692010-12-05T00:09:06.304-05:002010-12-05T00:09:06.304-05:00What concerns me is how focused this is on female ...What concerns me is how focused this is on female characters, both in your post and in general. I absolutely agree that it can be based on the core concept, but how often is that core concept either "she's a woman and she does things I don't like!" or "she's a woman and she doesn't do things I like!" Male characters only seem to generate this level of hate if they're a really major character (Wolverine, Hal Jordan) with several books of their own. There's no hordes screaming for Foggy Nelson, say, or Luke Cage to die because a fat sidekick or a black guy who is bulletproof are just so inherently offensive.lilacsigilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776762040144477840noreply@blogger.com
