leahtardis: crochet-and-starkid: pinkiepony: thumbcramps: hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women. also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it. anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!! I don’t understand why the other girl is saying “she’s not good enough” when she’s going through the same thing. Nah, everyone was calling the original girl those bad things, not her. If you see, the silhouettes are kind to her (one has his/her arm around her shoulder). The skinny girl is judging the original girl on her costume and looks. No, that’s the original girl who’s thinking that the skinny girl is “not good enough”, meaning the others think she’s not : they are not kind to her, they are blatantly treating her like a whore because she’s sexy and they think she’s attractive and therefore seeking the attention of every males around. Which mean that when you’re a girl and cosplaying, wether or not you have the bodily proportions of the one you’re cosplaying, people will judge you.
