Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
this looks like a half-finished poster for a wacky 80s comedy where travis is trying to teach justin and griffin to be cool
See I was gonna say a half-finished poster for a wacky 80’s comedy in which Justin and Griffin are trying to kill the others for inheritance money and Travis is completely oblivious to their constant failed Spy vs. Spy-style assassination attempts.
counterpoint, a wacky 80s comedy where both of these things are happening at the same time
One of these images is of a woman’s breasts in tight-fitting athletic clothing. The other is vacuum-sealed fruit.
If you’re unsure which is which, you should probably stop drawing female superheroes.
I WANT TO PRINT THIS POST AND DISPLAY IT IN THE CLASS ROOM. I WANT THIS TO BE A FLAG
LETS PUT IT ON THE INSPIRATION WALL
I’m all for this and want to slap big shot comic artists with this but the bra doesn’t fit her properly… so maybe find a better fitted one for comparison
^^the model is wearing too small of a size. The character should be completely contained without squishing and the fabric should be fairly smooth. Like these:
(alternatively, because not everyone has a runner’s body:)
The point of athletic wear is to keep you secure! If you want to draw boobalicious people that’s your decision-but if you want to learn a more realistic approach then here’s a start! You can make your characters look like they’re wearing properly measured sportswear while being sexy and attractive.
ALSO!!!! Writers take a look!!! The last four pictures contain women with a D cup or higher wearing ONLY ONE sports bra! A proper fitting sports bra does not require wearing multiples, no matter your chest size! (Especially if you’re working for Tony Stark/Pepper Potts and can fucking afford to buy a damn good sports bra.)
There’s nothing more ugly than the culture of having children for the sake of having them. Too many people ask “do you want kids?” but not enough ask “are you ready for the emotional, physical, and financial sacrifices you will have to make to raise children?” It’s so ugly to me that people treat kids like a commodity, like a dress or a pair of earrings they just throw on. How dare you? That’s not a new car you can get bored of or discard in a few years, that is a person, and particularly a person who will absolutely be dependent on you for emotional support, financial support, discipline, and leadership; someone who you will have power of virtually every portion of their lives until they’re ready to be adults, who you will impact in irreversible ways, who will look to you for the rest of YOUR life and theirs for explanations about life and how they turned out to be who they are, for better or for worse. If you say you “want kids” but you’re “not sure if you could handle” them needing time and attention, costing you money, or you’re “not sure you can handle” if they turn out gay, or disabled, or transgender, or any other myriad of things that don’t really make your child any less of a person but which an ugly society can have ugly views on, etc. then you don’t deserve to have children. If you “want children” but haven’t thought about literally having to be there for them for virtually everything they will go through and ask of you, you’re not adult enough to have them.
And what’s so insidious about many of these same people is that they are the ones making their children feel guilty that they fed them, housed them, and basically didn’t let them die, as if this is some meritorious act, as if parents aren’t supposed to raise their children and not kill and starve them, as if they are some type of martyr that deserves praise for doing the bare minimum.
the most insidious thing is that this is legit at least….80-90% of “normal” people? that is a terrifying concept to conceptualize the normalization of children as pets and items and realize almost everyone does this or is raised to do this in the future
