she wasn't say that at all... you missed the point... i don't bother to or care to explain it to you because you wouldn't understand. this has been made painfully obvious by your most recent comment... that aside... lemme attempt to correctly parse her quote:
"I have to ask myself "Is this how you see us? Is this what you want us to be?" And then I say "Fuck that!" Because I am not a sexual object."
it is not about men seeing her as a sexual object... it is about men seeing her, and by extension, all women, as sexual objects and only as such. yes it is a fantasy. yes it is only a drawing. yes we know all that because we aren't stupid. Cookie said she would have had no problem with the art had it been part of a hentai doujin. It wasn't. It was part of a main stream comic publication. It isn't the art that bothers her at all. It is the context in which the art is placed and that it is being marketed to the mass comic audience rather than as niche comic porn. It is entirely about context. I know from personal experience that Cookie has no problem with comic porn, and if you had bothered to read ANY of this journal before posting aside from this entry, you would have figured that out. You missed the point.
let me say this simply. Men. Don't. Get. It. I don't expect you to take that kindly. And I don't care.
