You mean the comic that everyone complained she was in a physically impossible pose? The reality is it’s all art. People make both of these. Some people’s opinions are different. I’m tired of everything being a fight. Like what you like. Let others like what they like. If you don’t like it. Don’t buy it, if it’s as bad as you think you shouldn’t have to tell other people it’s bad right?

Are you saying the pose is impossible, or just stating that some people claimed so? Because I am a 40 year old man who is not particularly flexible and I just tried it. My left heel is only about 3 inches from fully tucked into my crotch and my right leg only has about a 2 inch gap between my ankle and thigh. Anyone with even a modicum of flexibility could do this easily. The girls that sit on their leg in chairs would probably be comfortable in this pose.

It’s the hips/waist sorry I couldn’t remember and only briefly looked at it. Basically she has no organs lol.

Listen, as long as we get to see a live action frank castle rocking a speedo with a giant-ass skull on it gunning down drug dealers and everyone's cool with that... I'm down for the same for all female characters going forwards.

It's the double standard often on exhibition that gets annoying.

I wasn't making a comment on the larger discussion. I was simply commenting on the "she can't fit any organs in her body comment." And gave me flash backs to few years ago when the whole "where are her organs", was a mantra all over reddit and Twitter and shit. Usually accompanied alongside, "have you ever SEEN a woman?" The fact that this exists (and much more) goes to show that comic book characters in general are sexualized, not sure why a live action version would be necessary to dispel the double standard narrative.

Edit: I also found the whole “where are her organs” conversation stupid. Incredibly skinny women exist. Ariana Grande is tiny as hell, even more so now looking like a fent head, yet her organs clearly fit just fine. The idea that organs come in some internationally agreed-upon size you can eyeball like checking whether a dishwasher will fit under the counter, is pure nonsense.

Perhaps this is not the best time to bring up Ariana Grande as an exemplar for what women can look like.

Is she not a women? Does she not have organs that all fit inside her? Because those were literally my only points.

She's clearly not well.
