the devolution of Misty Knight

[derien]

Stages from kickass Woman to star bimbo... (thanks to inscrutable for bringing my attention to this.)




(Here's her stats page.)









ETA: A note of explanation - I used to collect comics when I was 11 - 18 or so, and Misty Knight was a character I could see as a role model. What they've done to her pisses me off.

Eor's been trying to cheer me. He sang to me, "My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold..." He says she's still a role model, just a role model sponsored by DuPont. "You too can have breasts that look like the front end of a ballistic missile submarine! Shouldn't Sean Connery be in there somewhere, pretending to be a Russian?"

Someone knows the song! :) I laughed uproariously, thinking of that black turtleneck in the first picture as the "soft, fuzzy sweater, too magical to touch."

I dunno about men, more like adolescent boys - Eor's a man, and he seems to totally get what's annoying me. The pictures attract the eye, but it's more a train wreck sort of thing, I think.

By men I meant the coarser gender in general.

I understand, I just have a need to point out stereotyping. Everyone does a certain amount when they're talking, and I know I do. You can poke me any time you see me do it, because I want to be reminded. :)
