This isn’t representative of all comic book readers, or even superhero fans. But Jesus Christ, this is one seriously disturbing thread:
The fact it’s about female characters isn’t, itself, that bad – you could easily substitute “male hero,” “X-Man,” “Avenger,” “villain,” “mutant,” or whatever you like; for whatever reason, superhero fans like to talk about killing characters, even though they seem to become completely aghast when a publisher actually does it.
So even though the idea of the thread isn’t all that bad, it gets ugly fast. As in, the first post:
I would have Luke accidentily roll on top of Jessica Jones crushing her lungs so she cant be retrofitted into anymore continuity.
We soon move into important questions such as “How Slutty is The Wasp.”
Sometimes, superhero fandom is fun. Sometimes it puzzles me. Other times, it annoys me. And sometimes, it seems like it’s composed entirely of misogynistic, close-minded fuckwits.
This is one of those times.
