me: stop comparing movies and comics!!!! not everything that happens in comics needs to be in the movies, they are different media and should be appreciated as such as long as the characters are respected! also me: if this exact shot does not happen in mcu canon

i’m going to kiLL EVERYONE AT MARVEL AND THEN MYSELF

i’m a total mix of “we did it kids” and “congratulations you played yourself”

The alt-right and conservatives don’t mind strong female characters… so long as those strong female characters are ones they can objectify and ogle. Alita is literally objectified and infantilized by her surrogate father figure in her own movie, whereas Captain Marvel is never seen in a revealing or skimpy outfit. Brie Larson also made fun of trolls who told her she should smile more, and was openly outspoken about harassment she had received over her role. Is it any wonder that the alt-right would not take her side?

PS: I knew the connection to the alt-right was strong, but upon researching this topic again I realized that the guy who created the “alitachallenge” hashtag in the 3rd panel is the same troll who managed to get James Gunn fired from Disney.

So… I made this a week ago, and in that time a NEW story has dropped which only goes to confirm what this comic is talking about.

And yup. Sure enough, the same people who complained about Captain Marvel are now going after Birds of Prey. Why? Because they’re unhappy with how Harley Quinn looks in the film, and because the film is being directed by a woman. Which again goes to prove this point. They don’t mind strong female characters, as long as those strong female characters are dressed in a way that they approve of. Harley’s outfit in the new film is far less objectifying/infantalizing and has a lot more personality.

And here’s some evidence for good measure:

Hmm and I wonder why...

Reblog or Repost

Some people don’t know the difference obviously. Especially people, who are new to tumblr.

Reblog: Just hit the nice arrow button at the bottom of a post on your dashboard. It helps creators to be seen.

Repost: Download/Stealing stuff from other peoples blogs, twitter, pinterest etc. Upload to your own blog and posting.

Does not help content creators. It makes them sad and anrgy and discourages them from creating new stuff.

And without content creators, tumblr will die.
