You're easily wound up and appear to take yourself too seriously.

Again says the guy who used to go around here for a long time telling us how he was an "anti-racist". I notice you conspicuously fail to address the racism parallel. You are a coward and hypocrite, mazel tov.

 

[Star Puffs]

this is just as bad:
(worst actually, you can see her ****s)

That was created by a woman as a satire of the absurd outfits and objectification of women in video games. The fact you are not smart enough to grasp that difference really says it all.

So is this now unofficially officially the Babe Thread?

A parallel between mass-manufactured Black Americana figures and a single example of some custom some guy put together in his bedroom? You are making a comparison between a single custom piece - which you declare representative of why females are turned off this hobby - and an entire genre of racist exploitation. Which, incidentally, is now being collected in its droves by... African Americans.

You haven't referenced the pic upon which your entire argument rests. You haven't given any credence to the broader comic book, sci-fi, fantasy paradigms that provide so much of the source material for the character design you are so fervently offended by - despite the example you offer being more symptomatic of these genres' portrayal of women than any great chauvinism or misogyny on the part of 1/6 hobbyists.

Instead, bereft of any real basis for your misplaced, confected outrage, you frame your statements in the most patronising, passive-aggressive hyperbole your hot little temper can muster. Instead of engaging in a proper debate you're just throwing a hissy fit. So easily wound up, too.

Now, where was that pic of that Nazi figure I've got layin' about. I need to go start a thread about how 1/6 collectors are a bunch of anti-semites. Mazel tov

Maybe she offended herself. Either that, or she hates women.

You are attempting to justify what is pure objectification of women by men because you can find similarities in how real women behave.

The woman in photo choose to dress like that, which is perfectly fine by me. I've never dressed quite that skimpy, but I did once get a 'talking to' at a job for my short skirts.

That woman has a real personality, real motivations, real sexuality and sincerely appears to be having a good time.

She is definitely not just some fetishised would-be f__k doll like the Black Widow custom or hundred other similar products in this hobby.

The fact you connect them is the problem. Women should be able to be sexy on our terms without men feeling that it gives you some carte blanche license to turn us into basically sexual automotons.

 

[Star Puffs]

okay well what about the pic above? Like I said earlier you want to point angry fingers you have to point them at everyone pretty much, the guys that own statues like that and the girls that dress up this way.

I don't even know where that other pic of the statue is from LOL I just saw it in your albums, i was trolling

I just addressed that in the post above.

 

[Wanderer]

So the OP is a woman?! Didn't realise.
I feel really sorry for her husband having to come home after a hard days work to find her in the kitchen going on like this

 

[ZaCHw117]

She looks cold.

I'll warm her up.

On the otherhand, wouldn't it be sexist to think women aren't smart enough to exploit the most obvious weakness in men? Sexual attraction between the sexes isn't an even exchange of physical attributes and social status. Superheroism in particular is a male created genre... Why not just laugh it off like we do your Twilight/Christian Grey/Sex in the City/Jane Austen entertainment?

 

[crows]

Good Point! I don't think anything in the history of comics is as perverted as 50 shades of grey.

Yet women LOVE that crap...

Isn't it like one big rape fantasy? lol

from what I was told it has to deal with BDSM as well, but yeah pretty much the guy is rich though, so that might be why the story is so loved by some lol.

This is a better example of everything that's wrong with this hobby. Not only does their armor not hide their squishy parts, they've also been reduced to the status of large breasted animals (housepets, even).

 

[crows]

The Iron man custom she got so mad about didn't even show her ****s like that, Yes it had heels but the guy put a T Shirt on it, Didn't even make a red metal bra or anything,

I agree that one is more weird.

I can see their catnips.

 

[King Darkness]

As a cat owner, I am offended and disgusted.

As a doll collector, I think this thread is dumb as fork.

 

[fosing]

i am offended by those ***** on display.
