why does mark ruffalo have insane chemistry with literally everyone except scarlett johansson

it’s almost like Joss Whedon forced the pairing in an insanely protectionist way with Banner as his self insert and ScarJo and Ruffalo both knew full well what he was doing…..

Or, hear me out… He’s a geek at heart who still gets tongue tied and withdrawn when he’s around the person he likes?

Joss please, we’re trying to have a serious conversation

Male robots: “I’m a machine, but I’m also a person. I’m more than an object. I have values and dreams and desires and, while I’m different from you in ways that might be strange and frightening, I’m an individual and I want to be respected as such.”

Female robots: “I’m a machine, but I’m also a person. In fact, I’m even better than a real woman - I don’t sweat or poop or age, and yes, I am fuckable. I can also kick ass, but like, in a sexy way. I can seem emotionless and cold, but that’s just because I haven’t yet realized how much I want to be your girlfriend.”

And? I don’t see the problem here.

Female robots are designed by male humans, and they serve their masters well. If users wanted more dynamic robots, the market would reflect that.

The free market has spoken - female robots only have one purpose.

Be honest with us my guy, you fucked your toaster and now you think you’ve got it all figured out. Do us a favor and take a bath with it

While playing telestrations, someone had to draw ‘same sex marriage’ and if the other person’s guess isn’t typical of how everyone views lesbian relationships, idk what is.

this is what the rise of pedophile culture looks like–little girls are being indoctrinated into beauty rituals at earlier and earlier ages to feed the misogynistic pedophilic male gaze.

this is what the intersection of capitalism and misogyny looks like–fashion and beauty products are being marketed to females no matter their age as long as is generates profit and feeds the male gaze.

this is what porn culture looks like–due in part to the widespread availability of porn, females are considered sexual objects before they are considered human beings and so no matter what, a female must always be sexually available and presentable to men.

^Exactly. Please, when you see young girls who look like this, remember not to blame the literal children for their own oppression. They’re just trying to “fit in” and be accepted by their peers. Blame the fucking adults who sell them this image and profit from it.

Thank you for explaining what bothered me about children looking like that. I could never quite put my finger on it.

Trans women are proof

Feminists should be pointing at successful trans women as examples, instead of trying to exclude trans women from womanhood.

Why? If trans women didn’t get the bullshit that vulvasaurs get when they were growing up, they’re the only women who possibly aren’t fucked over by all the patriarchal bullshit.

When I was growing up a trans girl, I was praised for being good at math and science, and pushed to exceed in them.

When I was growing up a trans girl, I wasn’t sexually harassed in high school by teenage boys or creepy men.

When I was growing up a trans girl, I wasn’t expected to grow up and get married, I wasn’t expected to raise kids.

I got to grow up in a time where women I looked up to were astronauts, and politicians, and scientists, and powerful business women, and doctors, and rock stars, and writers.

I got to grow up unburdened by the bullshit that gets thrown at every girl in the world saying that she’s not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough and needs to find a man to take care of her.

Trans women are proof that unburdened women can be everything.

Should have know it would be long.

This is illegal. The Supreme Court made decisions against compulsory actions and recitations as far back as 1943. They revisited this type case in 1990, even affirming citizen’s right to burn the flag. This school board won’t stand a chance when the ACLU gets a hold of this.

this was happening in the 00s when we didnt wanna stand for Bush. 

i sat during the pledge in NY, and the teacher called the principal. then he came, made vague suspension threats, i challenged him on it, told him to buck, then he’d call security and they’d loom over me, and i’d let them know just what would happen of they put a hand on me. every day they did this. and every day i’d remind their BLACK asses that i came from a country where this shit was illegal for this very reason.

just a reminder that hugh hefner leaked marilyn monroe’s nudes, which she then had to apologize to society for, and only she was shamed, and it could have ruined her entire career, and then after she died, he paid thousands so his grave could be beside hers, so he could further claim ownership and victimize her even after death 

he also called the drugs he made his bunnies take “thigh spreaders” and would pass these drugged women around to all types of men at his parties, including bill cosby. hugh was even question after being directly accused of helping bill r*pe one of his victims 

it was a fire-able offence to gain more than 5lbs of their hiring weight, which hugh used to help pit the girls against each other for constant in-fighting until it was time for the nightly drug induced orgy 

 just a few lil facts, but you know… “what an icon!” 

rot in pieces hugh

He was an activist who inspired millions to fight for their rights. He knew what was wrong with our country and risked his life to help his people achieve equality.  In the society where black were treated like animal he did everything possible to change this. His brave soul, his will and courage changed the history of America , changed the people. He made us believe we can win this war. He payed for it with his life. He will always be remembered.

I need to learn how to draw a decent Batman pic.

So what you’re trying to say is that women people prefer well-drawn pictures of their favorite superheroes over really shitty indie comics about boobs?

Sounds right.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for the person whose humor comic featuring a disembodied pair of breasts on the cover is getting passed over? Incredible.

this feels like it should be a parody but it isnt and that’s hilarious

maybe try not being sexist unfunny douchelords next time

HEY, WE DO A HUMOR COMIC ABOUT [SOMETHING THAT LOOKS EXTREMELY SEXIST] HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING

No, no way is this a serious complaint (I said to myself). No one’s that un-self aware. This has got to be a parody about gross “indie” comics skeeving up the con atmosphere, and the schadenfreude we’re totally intended to feel at their failure.

So I went to the OP’s tumblr to check context and.

This was just supposed to be a comic about how hard it can be for the unknowns to find their audience. Anything else you see is your own interpretation of the page.

They are serious.

That is more hilarious than any punchline actually in the comic. I’m honestly crying with laughter right now.

wow cry me a THOUSAND tears about how hard it is for white men to get into the comics industry by drawing tits

I can think of very few female comic readers who wouldn’t choose the Green Lantern image over a comic with nothing but boobs on the cover :P If the OP wants female fans as their target audience, they need to make some changes or expect not to get any of their money.

Oh god… he edited the original post to “Apologies to anyone offended by the cover.”  … Not “Apologies, I made a really gross and alienating statement.”  He does this in another post, as well trying to justify it all.   /facedesk

Wow, this is a perfect example of the creative blind spots I’ve been talking about. This comic was not intended to be satire. The OP completely missed the significance of having just a pair of boobs on a magazine cover and its effect on a female audience. In the OP’s own words: “In the original script I said there was a comic being held up without specifying what was on it, so Paul just drew a pair of breasts and I put the page up because at the time I saw nothing wrong with it, and when I put it on tumblr, the unfortunate implications never crossed my mind until they were pointed out to me.”

There was no sexist intent behind this comic (or clever expose of sexism), but this clearly illustrates how so much offensive content gets released in comics, games, and other media. It looks okay to the people making it. This is why we need women, PoC, and LGBT people in industries that are dominated by one POV. We need to start viewing content through more than one lens. I talk about it at length HERE.

okay but you should really read the full response to this though:

I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this letter. I encourage you to reread it and to ask yourself that time-honored question, “Do I sound like a villain in a Reese Witherspoon movie?” You are, presumably, sympathetic to your own situation and are invested in making sure that you come across as reasonable and as caring as possible, and yet you have written a letter indicting yourself at every turn. This girl is “like a daughter” to you, and yet you want to shove her to the side of your other daughter’s wedding just because she walks with a limp. Your daughter’s wedding will be perfect with Katie as a full and honored member of the bridal party. A limp is not a fly in the ointment; it’s a part of Katie’s life. It is not only wrong to have asked your daughter to consider excluding her best friend over this—it is ableist, and cruel, and it speaks to a massive failure of empathy, compassion, and grace on your part. You must and should apologize to your daughter immediately, and I encourage you to profoundly reconsider the orientation of your heart.

i think often how there’s a direct correlation between a woman’s ability to find financial freedom and the divorce rate of a country. how the leading factor that makes people in abusive situations stay is because of financial control. i think about the life my ancestors lived, and how they’re thrown in my face time and time again. people ask: why can’t real love like that exist anymore? why aren’t people just happy with who they choose. marriage is work, i’m reminded, and these couples found ways to work through.

oh, i’m sure true love existed before me and will exist after my light snuffs out. but i also know for every story about how wonderful it all turned out, there’s another one sitting at the bottom of a river, full of rot. 

i think about how divorce rates are seen as a failure of society. how recently that rate been going down, markedly. i think about how somehow it seems shameful to say our divorce rate reached 50%, right around the same time birth control became prevalent. and i think about these things and how they link hands, how maternity leave effects job opportunities, how money forces people to stay in a family, how the spike in divorces correlates so strongly to women in the work force getting their foot in.

oh, i know it’s not always the case. but did you know millennials are getting married at a much slower pace? oh, it might be nothing, but now women are a majority in college, are silently and slowly equalizing the workforce. it’s easier now than ever for women to choose work first. she is no longer her husband’s property. her property is now hers, not her family’s. you know only a few generations ago that would have been an impossibility. 

someone tells me love is dead. “there’s no more longterm love like in the 50′s”. i don’t know about that. i see plenty of happy. it’s just that sometimes happiness looks more like leaving.

Forget “a few generations ago.” My mother was 26 years old when she was legally allowed to have her own bank account. Until then, her father owned her money.
