Three things that are great.

My Little Pony x Welsh Corgis. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

A Seven-Year-Old Girl Responds to DC's Reboot of Starfire. In the wake of the sudden rush of mansplaining that has ignited all over the internet as adult male bloggers try to tell female readers that they're reacting to Starfire wrong, HERE is a voice that actually matters.

And finally, here is your Soul Eater Moment of Zen.

That's a great response! :D Unfortunately it prolly wun help since alrdy I've seen some responses to that by guys claiming that we want to censor comics, and make it "kid-safe" when it has nothing to do w/ being prudes, but being against hetero male sexual fantasies pretending to be power fantasies that should be for everybody >:\

It's funny cuz today I was scanning in pages from one of Chris Hart's terrible "how to draw comics" books for my tumblr and I came upon this:

Besides the awful Asian stereotype, there's that defense again "if you don't like MY sexual fantasy of female characters, go read Victorian novels". >:\

But yeah, the girl in the post got it bang on... she's not doing anything other than posing and strutting. -_- And she's not the only one, which is why this isn't "feminists cherry picking"... I've been looking through hundreds and hundreds of pictures and frames where female heroes are being posed for sexual reasons when they should be fighting, or twisted so they should break in half,because the artist doesn't like that punching a person doesn't show both your butt and breasts...

That's the issue... and even a 7 year old girl sees it >:\
