I’m actually a little offended because if there were ever a male Strong Female Character
it’d be Nightwing
Isn’t that right Karen?
IM A LITTLE BITTER NEGL dick grayson was doing the strong female character thing IN CANON way before anyone knew who clint barton was but WHATEVER FANDOM
WHATEVER
did I mention this isn’t fanart
really printed
ACTUAL POSE IN AN ACTUAL COMIC BOOK
tits and ASS
gratuitous and inhuman
losing clothes since 1980something
yet fandom still decides that CLINT BARTON is a better male Strong Female Character than this flawless prince smh
idg why or how that snub happened but I am protesting it
WE ALL KNOW WHO THE REAL WINNER IS
and did I mention CANON because
CANON MALE STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER
CLEAR WINNER BY A LONG SHOT
DICK GRAYSON PERIOD THE END
I love Hawkeye, and the Hawkeye initiative, but this post never fails to crack me up.
Artists, what are you doing?
I
STRONGLY
AGREE
WITH
EVERYTHING.
Not to mention a villain actually says “I’d know that ass anywhere” when seeing Dick Grayson from behind.
While it remains debatable how much Nightwing’s amazing body and empowered poses balance out how women around him are depicted, Dick Grayson undoubtedly is the closest that superherocomics have to offer for us as fanservice for readers interested in men.
The last, “I’d know that ass anywhere” image comes from his solo series that could easily be renamed "The Comic With Actual Male Objectification":

edit: Changed the Greyson comic montage to a vertical, more readable image.
A Marvel representative decided to blame the rich representation of new characters, particularly women, LGBTQ+ folk and people of color, in their superherocomics as a reason for their recent sales drop. They’re making a bold claim that it’s the readers and retailers who didn’t really want diversity.
Incidentally, we discussed the potential of scapegoating the strive for diversity in media if said media is unsuccessful in our “Go make your own!” article.
What a spectacular way to ruin an otherwise cool costume design and the introduction of Tessa Thompson, a woman of color, in a role of Norse-inspired character.
So apparently Marvel has finally reclaimed the movie rights for Namor, the most empowered superhero and apparently Donnie Yen and his fan base have a great suggestion for who should play the lead!
I have to say, I can’t think of a man who could bring more empowerment (x):
Now that would be a comic book movie worth seeing!
Was scrolling through @bikiniarmorbattledamage and was inspired to do a couple of redesigns. First is Cat from Gravity Rush (which I’ll confess I haven’t played and it seems kinda fun but how does that outfit even work) and second is Wonder Woman because I saw what she looks like in the movies and just thought ugh.
