This is supposed to be funny but it’s not.  1) The only problem highlighted seems to be that it’s a man wearing it, not a woman.  2) There’s no point lampshading something if you don’t fix the problem you highlighted. e_e

What a perfect example that the reference to double standard is not yet a joke… especially when the punchline so eagerly adheres to the status quo (“LOL, it looks good only when a lady wears it, LOL!”)

It’s also a great example of the double standard where female readers are expected to be happy about looking at women in ridiculously sexualised costumes shoving their sexy bits at the camera.

But let one superhero have a realistic sized bulge in the crotch of his costume and brodudes and the industry in general will panic!
