Zombies, vampires, the Loch Ness, goblins, werewolves, the spirit and keen intellect of former President George Bush Jr. - that's all fiction, my friend. What is a fact that there is a large population of us women out there who enjoy comic books and action figures, other wise known as the illusory "fangirl is."
I know it is difficult to arrive on time, because through our deceptively long hair flowing, a bit 'of strawberry shampoo, soft smells are camouflagedLips, hips swaying from side to side when we go, and last but not least, our glorious breasts! are often ignored, that taking our eyes, stunning visual artistic delights, don the pages of comic books to love. Often ignored, the brain is in our heads that angry, shocked and fascinated by the persuasive words in small vesicles, enclosed by panel by panel floating.
These are the commonalities we share as human beings and as fans of comics. Our anatomical differences should notand separate us, to unite our community and joy for us this media. For some reason, but in the past, we have supporters hiding in shadows and dark corners of the comic shops go virtually unnoticed by us standing flowing through the comics. The whole time watching with you fanboys gather your little cliques for discussion before the bench several key events in the comic universe, and giving your opinion about this and that. We, as fans of femalelooked with envy, the heated conversation, and we want to enter into this discussion that makes flare tempers. Sharing our thoughts, feelings and passion of our favorite characters with the surly Fanboy.
When we read a box of shit, do not complain and complain about the same as you? If the art of shit we do not see shrink and complain about the same as you? If a writer does not do justice to our beloved characters, so to say, "What the hell!" strong as you. Yes, women not only putOthers
Fangirl You are a very important person. But the law of reading comics, you have the power to influence change, because more women read, comics are comics for female readers, published, then in turn means that women are more writers and artists working on is the "big titles". Let's face it, comics fandom is falling now, if you compare it with film, television and even traditional literature fandoms. The way around this is allStill more female fans on board. Women have one in comics for various reasons, we remain faithful to the average for a number of reasons, but basically you want to use as talking to the boys things for fans to be the same and in a fair and intelligent Manor represented. By sacrificing strength or compromising femininity.
Women have fought and still do to find a club championship in this testosterone driven guys, we call it fandom. If sports, cars, or comic booksfangirl must speak only a little 'louder to be noticed and taken seriously. The perception of women in comics has to reflect the opinion of society as women. Women are not yet in a mansion full and complete that not a fair trial, so we have come a long way, but the road is still far away. We are still sexual roles also have the weaker stories in the mainstream, and we are still seen as the victim in some comics, all is not presented, but a few. I know you superHardcore fanboys out there saying "what is the chick is walking around tons of great female comic heroines" and I'm sure you can all name. However, any normal girl do the same?
I'm sure the average little girl who knows little about comic books knows, Superman, Spider-Man and Batman are. The only iconic female figure that many women can relate to and it seems that love is Wonder Woman, and that can be attributed to Linda Carter. UsSuper heroines are many out there in the universe that are simply not funny marketed in the same way as the male characters and I think that is coming to marketing women in a positive light. This is surprisingly well made by Indy comic art, but the big mainstream publishers still the way to go in that department. Take for example the early Marvel seems Diva. male and female fans are actually very angry with the lid, and press release of whatyou can expect from this story. Here we see an example of how women are no traffic our strength, but our sexuality. In a recent refutation to this question, publisher and chief Joe Quesada said Mr. Marvel, and I quote.
"When [the reader] Marvel and feel really, we are sexist, then why have you read our books? Well, maybe you do not have a Marvel reader, then, if this is the case, I'm not sure what you criticize when you do not read our books?
This was completelyprofessional response to my humble opinion. His answer was not sympathetic to the views expressed by some of his readers, the sunlight seems to ignore the suggestion or thought that does not put women on an equal playing field in the comic industry. What is most disappointing is the fact that Mr. Q is the power and influence to make a change! He has the ability to put fourth a new image of women in comics, has the opportunity to invite a much wider audience to participatein comics culture, and crush the stereotype of the old school "comics nerd. But not because it is inconvenient. Who is to blame?
It is the fanboy who claims to be fair? The editor for the adaptation and development? Or is it us female fans? We are to blame as well? I say yes, why? Why we chose to be in the back seat, you choose not to stand up and say that must change the image of women in their comics. You do not become active owners of comicsLibraries. We hesitated to express the site and put up blogs that we feel. Where are the female fans on You Tube? We should be out there hosting our own shows, which is the sector that we yearn for so much of. If you're a comic book out there for conventions and show your portfolio, dammit.
If you are a writer, I encourage women to do the same this, hell to publish your book and market themselves. We will stay in the shade when you choose to.The voices crying on the Internet and other media, the more noise we make, including Mr. Q and others like him should take note of us and do something. That no doubt be a community that is hard to be accepted by burdens, but things change Every day, slowly but surely, we just need to be persistent and continue to view and listen through Various types of media. Can I buy Marvel Diva? Maybe not, Marvel will take care of my miserable $ 3.99? Maybe not, but what if the otherfanboys and girls did the same and the title bombed.
