How to fix every Strong Female Character pose in superhero comics: replace the character with Hawkeye doing the same thing." -Gingerhaze

A blog with Clint "Hawkeye" Barton being placed in the same provocative, female poses that are featured in superhero comics.

IMO it does not fix the issue because of the more modern metrosexual male hero being like classic gay Batman and Robin parodies but still interesting.

I saw some article about Juidge Dredd being gay.

Seriously, who f*****g cares? Is it important to an action comic? I wish they'd just get the sex out. If I want to watch sex, there's porn, and no shortage of it. Pfft.

Haven't visited a news-stand in a long while... they still sell comics books?   :huh:   Still sell Mad Magazine?  One of my favorites was Spy vs Spy.

I'm not sure does it fix the issue either, but it does bring attention to it - like we never noticed ;-) but still ...
and there's a couple of great laughs there, thanks :up:

Amazons got 'em... so I guess they're still out there...

I'm with you, Renegade, this is basically a non-topic these days.   :huh:   But I guess... others feel the need to.. .. . .  ?
