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.

I HATE that my role model for being a kinder and more generous person has been sexed up.

TBF, Starfire in the comics was always highly sexualized. It was part of her alien "culture." But it was also portrayed as a part of her joie de vivre. She had lots and lots of sex and wore skimpy outfits because she was comfortable in her body and felt no taboos about being sexually promiscuous.

Starfire having sex and wearing a skimpy outfit isn't the only reason that people are upset about the reboot. It's more about the other failures - her sudden emotionless fucking, the way that she just stands around in sexy poses instead of actually doing anything heroic, etc.

THAT TOO.

I kinda meant this Starfire as a whole, in addition to what's going on now. I don't know. She was just so awesome, even without a gigantic bosom. Why do many superhero women have to have such big breasts and tight, skimpy-ish outfits? (Don't answer that.) I'd be (sorta kinda) okay with this Starfire if it really was a part of her alien culture, but I just can't imagine Teen Titans Cartoon!Starfire being so promiscuous.

Blergh. This is why me+comics never really work, I guess. And sorry, I know my sentence you quoted was unclear. My bad. X\
