Louis and Violet
TWDG College AU.
Clem dated Louis in her junior year of high school (at the time Lou was a senior) and left him before he graduated because she had to surgically amputate half of her left calf. So she vanished without a trace, worrying her friends. Lee, Carly, and AJ kept quiet about her whereabouts. She was embarrassed to reveal her appearance to anyone close to her. She was heart broken and depress.
3 years later, it took her forever to evolve self love and care into her life. She moved out of her grandparents (Leeโs parents) place, back to Lee and Carley. She reunited with her childhood friends. Crying happily for her return.
Meeting her ex, Louis, felt so weird. And he wasnโt any better since he took her disappearance to the heart. Love was the last thing on their minds.
They had a rough start with mix emotions and reflecting to the past and present. However, they know thereโs mutual chemistry between them and their story never ended. Took time to figure it out and realize they canโt live without each other.
Now this is a story I can get behind
God bless nurses forever
The alt-right and conservatives donโt mind strong female charactersโฆ so long as those strong female characters are ones they can objectify and ogle. Alita is literally objectified and infantilized by her surrogate father figure in her own movie, whereas Captain Marvel is never seen in a revealing or skimpy outfit. Brie Larson also made fun of trolls who told her she should smile more, and was openly outspoken about harassment she had received over her role. Is it any wonder that the alt-right would not take her side?
PS: I knew the connection to the alt-right was strong, but upon researching this topic again I realized that the guy who created the โalitachallengeโ hashtag in the 3rd panel is the same troll who managed to get James Gunn fired from Disney.
โ
Soโฆ I made this a week ago, and in that time a NEW story has dropped which only goes to confirm what this comic is talking about.
And yup. Sure enough, the same people who complained about Captain Marvel are now going after Birds of Prey. Why? Because theyโre unhappy with how Harley Quinn looks in the film, and because the film is being directed by a woman. Which again goes to prove this point. They donโt mind strong female characters, as long as those strong female characters are dressed in a way that they approve of. Harleyโs outfit in the new film is far less objectifying/infantalizing and has a lot more personality.
And hereโs some evidence for good measure:
#OP is right and deserves to say it
I think it important to note that the one they considered exemplary of female virtue was literallyโฆa robot designed by a man.
??? They donโt think HQ in Birds of Prey is sexy?
Are they blind and deaf?
Just backwards as all hell and probably donโt wash their butts
Me reading all these idiot menโs comments be like:
Note that the whiny pissbaby fanboys came out in either greater droves for Captain Marvel, amping up their campaign of abuse and vitriol than they did for Wonder Woman. They did embark on a hate campaign for Wonder Woman, but not with the same level as what they brought to Captain Marvel. Why is this?
The reasoning is obvious: with Wonder Woman, they still had the hope that this movie would fail like most of the other female superhero movies of the past and then they could take comfort in knowing that it would be decades before they have to :gasp: suffer the indignity of seeing of seeing a female superheroine in the lead, kicking ass and taking names, her plot :gasp: being about something besides getting a man or being fetish material they could jerk off to.
Because when a male hero fails, Hollywoodโs like, โWhelp, shouldnโt have gone with that script/director,โ and hero gets a reboot before too long. When a female hero fails, Hollywoodโs like, โWhelp, guess people donโt want female superhero-led films,โ and women have to wait years, possibly decades before they get another film.
Before Wonder Woman, the last female superhero movies were Elektra and Catwoman. Do the math to figure out how many years separated those movies and Wonder Woman. While youโre at it, count how many male superheroes we got in that time period. Freaking Ant-Man got a film before Wonder Woman, even though Wonder Woman is part of DCโs trinity and is a hella much more prominent character than Ant-Man.
It never seems to occur to Hollywood that maybe people would go to female superhero movies that didnโt suck. Nope, must be the female hero. Thatโs clearly why the film failed. Women pretty much had to do constant โPlease donโt let this suckโ prayers/dances to the movie gods because if it failed, itโd be decades before we would ever see another one again.
The whiny pissbabies could also reassure themselves with the knowledge that the DCEUโs quality had been incredibly uneven at best. With all this in mind, they werenโt too scared about Wonder Woman.
But Wonder Woman didnโt fail. Wonder Woman brought audiences in droves, the film critics adored it, and it is still seen as the best DCEU film by many. Basically, it proved their beliefs to be bullshit. People can and will see female superheroes and might, nay, prefer those movies over ones with :gasp: :choke: :pearlclutch: male heroes.
So now theyโre running scared and itโs for this reason, they redoubled their efforts to try to sink Captain Marvel. Iโm afraid weโre going to have to put up with this for a while.
Hereโs hoping Hollywood continues to cram as much diversity into these fuckersโ faceholes as possible. The way I figure, either the pissbabies will scream themselves into apoplexy or theyโll be like, โHey I like and relate to this character, even though they have [a different gender identity/higher melanin count/orientation] than I do,โ and grow the fuck up. Either way, the world would be a much better place for it.
Though frankly I thought that Black Panther was even more radical in its usage of female characters, almost as radical as their usage of Black characters. By virtue of :gasp: :choke: having more than just one character to represent women as a whole, we were able to see, relate to, and understand women with a wide variety of viewpoints.
The multiple female characters was also another reason why Birds of Prey was so great. Having multiple female characters allows them to be actual characters with flaws, ambitions, and actual personalities, rather than token representations of half the worldโs population.
Itโs insane how rare this phenomenon of multiple female characters is.
In addition to this (which is a spot-on observation BTW), thereโs the added fact that Wonder Woman and Alita are presented in a more โconventionally attractiveโ sort of way. Both Wonder Woman and Alita follow the โborn beautiful yesterdayโ trope, and Alita is infantalized in her own film. While they are strong female characters, theyโre also easier to objectify too.
Captain Marvel on the other hand goes out of her way to signal that sheโs not โavailableโ so-to-speak. In Captain Marvel thereโs literally not a single shot of her that could be taken as objectifying. She is never in a skimpy outfit, shown naked, has her skin exposedโฆetc. And the actress is vocally open about sexism and misogyny in the industry.
The idea that a woman could be strong and powerful and NOT be openly available to them is the root fear and cause of so much of their outrage. Like I said before, they donโt mind if a female character is strong and powerfulโฆ provided that theyโre conventionally attractive to men.
This is something we discussed before, in regards to Strong Female Characterโข/โweaponized femininityโ/Fighting Fucktoy trope. Women are basically expected to pay a โfemale representation taxโ by seeing female bodies in media framed almost exclusively through male gaze, even in woman-centric stories.ย
Movies that include female characters being badass without objectification are scarse, and the few that exist get cyber-dogpiled by the whiny manbaby alt-right trolls even before theyโre released. Often in favor of just another Fighting Fucktoy film that undermines its heroines with creeper-friendly framing, regardless of how well theyโre written.ย
I think this comic and the subsequent commentary thread (especially @godloveyellโs addition) perfectly summarize the systemic problem of dudebros telling us womenfolk that weโre not allowed to see ourselves in movies (and comics/games/etc.) without their โhot enough for a cishet guy to masturbare toโ stamp of approval. And how they insist that the rare media in which women arenโt sexualized just so happen to be much worseโฆ because they say so and no other reason, really.ย
