Avaritia & Sexism.

-  I cut my fore-finger pretty deeply yesterday, right on the tip too.  So typing is kind of a bitch right now.  Not that I normally write a TON on here anyways, just saying.  Guess I can kiss any guitar playing goodbye for at least a good week (probably more).

-  I wish I could write a ton though, the new CASSANOVA is badass.  Matt Fraction is back on that title, returned from the depths of the mainstream heroes, and it is a pleasure to read.  Very, Very good comics:

-  BleedingCool has an article titled “When A Seven Year Old Girl Reads The New Starfire”.  (DC, in their infinite wisdom, has been accused a bit lately of sexism in their company-wide reboot.  A combination of a tasteless appearance of Starfire wearing a translucent bikini and Catwoman turning into little more than a man-hungry tramp.)

This is what she thinks of the old Starfire.

“She’s like me. She’s an alien new to the planet and maybe she doesn’t always say the right thing, or know the right thing to do. But she’s a good friend, and she helps people. She’s strong enough to fight the bad guys, even when they hurt her. Even her sister tried to kill her, but Starfire still fights for the good side. And she helps the other heroes, like Superboy and Robin and Raven. She’s smart too. And sometimes she gets mad, but that’s okay because it’s okay to get mad when people are being mean. And she’s pretty.”

This is what she thinks of the new Starfire;

“I can see almost all of her boobs… Well she is on the beach in her bikini. But… she’s not relaxing or swimming. She’s just posing a lot… she’s not fighting anyone. And not talking to anyone really. She’s just almost naked and posing.”

And when asked if the new Starfire is a good hero, replies;

“Not really.”
