Especially if you dedicate your time to the actual study of Marx and Lenin and make leftism more than just a contrarian personality trait. Now go outside!

Seriously go fuck yourself. What I’m talking about is the bad faith bullshitting about “this isn’t objectifying” by pretending that they don’t have the most basic media literacy. Your comment right here is actually the most perfect example! I never said a single thing about the attire of actual women. I am talking about a drawing! (I’m also not even talking about the wardrobe in the drawing, but that’s too difficult a concept so we will set it aside).
There is a profound difference between how a woman expresses herself with the clothes she wears on her own body versus how someone draws imaginary characters. Equivocating between disliking waifus and insisting on burqas is the most
- tier rhetorical bullshit imaginable. These aren’t real women in the real world, how does this need to be explained?
Not only was it not a lie, you demonstrated that exact point again in the part I previously quoted by again conflating the politics of personal presentation vs art of fictional characters.
I’m not complaining about something that is a complete non-issue. If it was an issue, perhaps I would complain about it, but the people characterizing my argument as though this non-issue was my issue are mistaken.
I think the more liberal attire is suitable for the USA waifu just like Eliza’s costume in Skullgirls suits her character (for mostly-different reasons). There are other waifus for whom it would be more gross, as there are Skullgirls characters for whom it is very gross (though these reasons only partially overlap).
I never said you said anything about actual women! You’re lying again.
What I said is that two people can both oppose your puritanical bullshit for different reasons, and I used a real life analogy to illustrate that point.
So you can dissect every piece of art and if you find one single element that you consider horny, the rest of the drawing is completely irrelevant? What fucking bullshit standard is that? Completely unreasonable.
You go fuck yourself
The question of restricting dress in real life and criticism of fictional characters are wildly different. I never said you said I am talking about real women, I said you are conflating these two subjects, which you continue to do. Pin-up girls (such as are painted on bomber jets or whatever) are typically not feminist, and indeed are typically misogynist. Forbidding women from dressing the way pin-up girls do in that art would also be not feminist, and indeed is typically misogynist. This is not a contradiction. I have no problem with women dressing as they want, and I also think the way women are portrayed in media should be scrutinized because of deeply-embedded cultural sexism.
“Why would a communist have tolerance for some kind of ‘ruthless criticism of all that exists’?!?”
More seriously, there is a difference between diegetic and non-diegetic sexualization*. The central point I made in my original comment is about non-diegetic sexualization, through the process of choosing which details to remove and which not to in the highly abstract medium of cartooning. Choice of dress would be a diegetic method of sexualizing the character which would much more strongly suggest the characters trying to appear sexually attractive, which I think would make the art more overtly creepy, but that’s not the only thing that can possibly be criticized and not especially worth mentioning in the line of criticism that I took (though I humored it with the aside about the US waifu).
*If a decent feminist with media criticism abilities (so not you) would like to contend that sexualization is necessarily non-diegetic and I am therefore talking about sexualizing via character writing vs audience perspective, that’s fine.
Do you understand what analogy is? The point I was making is that you can’t write off criticism just because someone bad makes a similar criticism. You’re being deliberately obtuse just to accuse me of shit.
Sorry I just find it really comedic how you put those two so close together
At that point you probably shouldn’t have made the comparison with an incomparable situation about how real women dress and instead just talked about how both racists and communists hate Kamala Harris or something. As it is, the radlib argument and the skullgirl closet-incel argument are basically “the curtains are blue!” “you are basically policing how women present,” and the much-beloved classic “it’s all in your head”.
Did you not see the US waifu? She would have honestly been the best line you had at an actual attempt at refutation instead of just calling me a creep and a liar over and over.
Why shouldn’t I say what’s true?
There’s a block button if you have nothing to say
Oh but I do:
Fuck off creep.
If this is just a last word thing, I can stop. You don’t seem to be offering arguments anymore.
