http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20070810.htmlFor anyone who believes that others who want to see diversity are just believers in making everything Politically Correct. In my experience, people who request diversity are looking to more represent the world how they see it. How do each of you read the comic above?

That comic is bad, and you should feel bad for reading it.
I'm going to write a letter that tells that author how much I hate them and that I wish them nothing but ill.
As a comic enthusiast, this angers me beyond words.
I hope the artist gets arthritis.

Well played, Shortpacked. Well played.
I, for one, say Bring on the empowered females. And empowered everyone, for that matter. We all get to be John or Jane Q. Badass here.

Is there a word for a combination of befuddlement and pity?

It's rather heavy handed satire.
South Park does it better.

The comic has its on moments and its off moments. This one is so-so. If you've gotten into mainstream comics fandom, you do run into that guy on occassion. Particularly (though not exclusively) on the internet. Sadly, he is not terribly exaggerated. In some cases, not at all. Anyway, I feel the issue of the treatment of female characters in mainstream comics is better represented by this one, but that's just me, since it sort of channels the embarrassment I feel whenever I have to confront the gulf between my personal ethics and those typically displayed by the main stream comic companies. It eventually got to the point that I just don't read mainstream comics very much anymore.

Hi Malisteen,
You just linked to the same comic I did. I didn't see any differences.

hehehe, i think both are quite funny - though i like the second one better in terms of execution of point. as a side note, it's hard to erase several thousand years of social conditioning, it's so ingrained in some that a life without is a strange and scary place. what are men when they don't have the pre-fab male gender roles? moreso, what are men to women who don't follow the pre-fab female gender roles? what are women? these questions are incredibly frightening to some traditionalists, but liberating for those who are tired of living by such restrictive and confined standards. sadly, that liberation comes long and hard in some cases, and we'll have to hear from some who are like the person depicted in comic #1 until everything manages to adjust to a new way of being. all in good time i think.
