I'm so confused, is that guy on the right supposed to be iron man? That would make the guy in the middle captain America but that still doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that the girl on the left is a type of supergirl, a DC character

The drawing looks relatively more recent style in the US.
I want to guess maybe around 2010?

I'm surprised they allowed Starfire to keep her hair that way. I expect her to have to get a side buzz or something to be allowed to remain attractive.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Anita Sarkeesian actually is cute. She uglies herself up on purpose for her vids. If you can find her first few videos, she looks nice. Incels jumped on her videos and she realized there was far more potential in embodying everything they hate.

After that, she became intentionally overreaching and basically just trolled addled males. It's a shame because her first few videos had legitimate heart and valid criticism. But I can't blame a person for running a successful con when the opportunity is right there begging them to take it.

Try looking for the first episode of Feminist Frequency. She had her hair down and wore a bright green shirt. She was trying to be funny and friendly.

The way people STILL get worked up about Anita Sarkeesian, you'd think she was some kind of feminist provocateur with an angry, anti patriarchal message or something. It's almost shocking to look back at her old videos and see how much they're just middle of the road takes, politely delivered, pointing out the most obvious examples of sexism in gaming that everyone already knows about. She was some milquetoast feminist commentator, who said to her viewers, how about you donate money and I'll give some milquetoast commentary on games, but somehow she was a "con artist" or a "grifter" when she did exactly what she promised. And now people are calling her milquetoast feminist videos--that always started with a disclaimer that she wasn't condemning the whole gaming industry, and always ended by pointing out exceptions that she thought were positive examples--"epic trolling"? Give me a fucking break!

It's wild that someone so inoffensive and mild was able to get so much anger that over a decade later some people still aren't over it. Gamers are indeed fragile.

She wasn't Megan Fox, but that is the look of someone who cares about their looks enough to want to look pretty. I would date someone who looked like that.

If it was natural aging, the bulk of it must have taken place after the first three episodes or so. She went from hair down, bright colors, and cracking jokes to flannel, a ponytail, and a stern librarian attitude.

I don't really see having your hair tied back or changing clothes as making yourself look uglier... but again, that's your opinion, and I'm not judging.

Honestly I don't follow this shit at all but what I heard is that she ended up not finishing the series and keeping the money. But that could be wrong, I don't care enough to check.

It can absolutely be done to make oneself look less flattering. Look at all of those romance movies made for teen audiences where someone will wear beetle glasses and a striped sweater until the script calls for them to find their true self. Then, all of the sudden, they're beautiful.

This is the same thing, but in reverse. The new look was accompanied by a new personality. She went from dropping references to video games and cracking jokes to being stern and offended by everything.

Okay, you want to discuss comic book heroes? Let's.

I'm surprised that Starfire is still allowed to have long flowing hair. People usually complain that it's impractical because an opponent can grab it -- unless a woman shaves one side of her hair. Somehow, the impracticality of long hair doesn't apply to women with side buzzes or tumblr hair.

And it kills me that Harley canonically has larger breasts than Ivy.

Poison Ivy is supposed to be Jessica Rabbit, dammit.

Now you're talking about hairstyles that were popular 7 years ago. Like, you're using Tumblr as a reference as if it's in any way a relevant site in 2023, and these days you're much, much more likely to see a girl with an actual buzz cut than the side buzzcut.

Changing hairstyles in comic books is just about updating the character for modern audiences, and 7-8 years ago buzzing one side of your hair was the go-to edgy cool girl haircut. It's not feminism, it's just fashion.
