Power Girl's Endowments
Mar. 16th, 2007 02:57 pmI think it's okay that Power Girl has big breasts.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy looking at breasts, but that's not why I think "Peej" is okay.
Women, including women with jobs as far away from the "sex work" industry as any person can get, sometimes have big breasts.
Power Girl's costume emphasizes her bust. That's questionable at best.
Many artists don't seem capable of drawing anything close to a human woman as they are actually found on the planet Earth. (This week, that's Michael Turner.) That sucks too.
Drawing a superheroine as a passive sex object would seem to defeat the whole purpose of having superheroines in the first place.
All that being said, the mere existence of a character's large breasts is not the problem. And no one has been claiming otherwise. So why I am bothering to write all this down?
I'm the guy all this is supposedly aimed at. I like looking at blonde women with large breasts. I am the fan who is theoretically being serviced here. And the cover to Justince League of America issue 10 does absolutely nothing for me. I'd like to see a cartoon of a flying woman that looks considerably more like an actual woman, thanks.
I'm not into whatever kind of mannequin fetish I would have to be into for that cover to work, I guess. And DC editorial has a much shakier grasp on the fundamentals of the nerd boy libido than they think they do. It's perfectly fine for Power Girl to have large breasts- as long as they look like actual person parts.
(Buffy Summers, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, used to play at being Power Girl as a kid. And she likes cheese.)
