There was a post on Bikini Armor Battle Damage the other week about some dude who freaked out because there were too many ‘females’ in his game. In response I have done this cartoon.
Small aside: personally I like to make the distinction between using ‘female’ (and indeed ‘male’) as a noun or an adjective, the former being less ok than the latter. So ‘I know a female/male pilot’ is fine. ‘The plane was piloted by a female/male’ just starts getting a bit nature documentary and dehumanising. Especially when you could just say ‘the plane was piloted by a man/woman’, which implies humanity in itself.
I’m sure Jackson the Sexist Elf will make more appearances in further cartoons…

In response to the ‘females everywhere’ post from a couple of weeks back, man it also gets my goat when people refer to women as ‘females’. When I saw that dude’s comment, this scenario played out in my head. So not a commentary on skimpy armor per se, but still hopefully ok.
WOW, thank you for submitting something so awesome!
This comic is as hilarious as it is accurate in its portrayal of misogynist dudebros. Also, very nice artwork. We can always count on your comics to be on-point!
And do I smell a reference to my own commentary in that pinecone line? 😉
Appreciated!
