“you’re against censorship, but you complain about how women are drawn in comics, that’s hypocritical”
well you see friend, the problem here is you have mixed up CENSORSHIP and QUALITY CONTROL
i don’t think the government should stop you from drawing whatever you fucking well please, even if it’s spider woman’s cameltoe in a pose you traced from porn
please do feel free to draw and publish your own special comic “all the female heroes strung out on E and ready for anal” on your own time
just like i feel free to write the winter soldier sucking captain america’s dick on any given day, that is how fans do, it’s totally ok
but don’t be surprised when people can tell it’s your special fanboy bathroom reading even if you’re a paid artist for marvel or dc because buddy we know what that looks like and you’re not fooling anyone
CENSORSHIP is when your art is illegal
QUALITY CONTROL is when they hire david aja instead
THIIIIIIIIIS
Voicing feminist criticisms is not censorship. You know what is, though?
According to the ACLU, the act of censorship implies the use of coercive pressure to prevent the expression of an opinion (be it in “words, images, or ideas”).
Some examples of coercive pressure include:
Launching large scale harassment campaigns with the intent to frighten and silence feminist critics. Doxxing, swatting, or otherwise threatening the privacy and/or quality of life of feminist critics’ and their loved ones, as punishment for voicing feminist criticisms.
These are all very real and tangible forms of censorship that make it unsafe for critics to express their opinions freely.
Not only are Gamergaters and the like not victims of censorship – they are frequently perpetrators of censorship.
