12 o'clk
Hey! You remember when DC, did that lets show the world how sexiest we truly are thing? And proceed to request millions of people to draw, Harley Quinn taking her life. Which in the back of my mind was no different then all the other stuff they make her do from an abusive boyfriend, to the continued objectification of her body, and showing her being practically useless.
I wonder, do most men find that attractive in a woman? The strange idea that me speaking up, talking back, or voicing my opinion, is unattractive. OK, I admit that sometimes I can get chatty out of no where but when its a topic I like, I want to speak on it. Why do I have to be the meek virgin with the ideals of pleasing my future husband? I mean, look at Superman and Batman. Very too emotionally chatty men with one who has deep resentment, can't cope with lost, and anger issues he takes out on criminals. While the other represses all his emotions until he tries to take over the world, fights a super super villain, or gets some red krytonite in his system. So Superman the ticking time bomb and Batman, the resenting abusive superhero.
*Sigh*
Well, back to my original rant. I saw some of the submissions sent in by women and men who were disgusted too. I found my self proud to be a human and to know people actually care about women. Even when they are made up characters from a comic book. My sister who is twelve was outraged to see that a comic book she loved so much saw so little of her as a woman (Young preteen woman). She was crushed and requested I use my drawing skills to send in a submission. I did sketch one but miss my chance to be apart of the outraged crowd so it never got to be apart of its purpose.
Yet, months and a whole new year later. I am finally placing my art work here so the world or just me, can see it. Though, I don't believe in getting even with DC because truthfully they objectify all their women. I just believe in when I make a promise, I plan to keep it.
