>>111741458Yeah I think that argument doesn't have any water, but it's more that to a female audience it's signalling that they're afterthoughts. Which isn't inherently bad, making different things for boys and girls is totally fine. But imagine a comic genre where literally every guy looked like Leo Dicaprio in Titanic or Edward Cullen, and the majority of protagonists are women. Most boys probably wouldn't feel very spoken to by that. It's not bad for that comic genre to realize that, and then also make things that speak to boys.
I think the conversation about this gets muddied by people who want EVERYTHING sanitized to get rid of male-gaze-centric designs, which is ridiculous.
