Re: Actually I wanted tp post an article as well, Might as well jump on board

[feotakahari]

I want to challenge this in particular:

"This is why so often marketing professionals, which includes commercial artists and cartoonists, will say 'she’s empowered!' and 'she’s just enjoying her sexuality!' What they mean is, 'I wanted to draw someone I wanted to fuck, who I could fuck if she were real, so I drew someone who wouldn’t say no to me.'"

I'll set aside the specific context of Frank Cho because I don't know who he is. But speaking broadly, I've seen this used as a bludgeon before, and there are times when I think it's frankly unfair. As a porn writer, I portray idealized men and women having sex with each other, not with un-idealized folks like me. You can argue the different kinds of idealized--"If this woman is hot and fuckable, shouldn't this man also be hot and fuckable, not just strong and brutish?"--but I think there's room for idealized, "sexy" settings where everyone's hot, and saying "Oh, the writer just wants to have sex with this character" often gets into sexuality-shaming, virgin-shaming, and general sex-negativity.
