I always got the impression that some artists put as much effort into making me sexy as women: Adam Hughes, Steve Rude, Mike Allred.
Of course these days, Adam Hughes is almost exclusively covers - and those are almost exclusively of female characters - but back on JLI it seemed pretty even to me.
After what this forum flipped their $hit over, enough to shut down the whole forum, should this even be a surprise? Not that I am trying to be an jerk to you Kirby/ed. Merely 100% agreeing with your observation.
This reminds me of Chris Redfield's DLC costume in Resident Evil 5.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the event that happened when Jonah but what shut down the forums mostly dealt with one or possibly two "fans" getting mad at a female CBR columnist and doing things that were outside the forums. Illegal things like hacking a personal account, making death threats, etc

Devlin Waugh. He's a gay vampire from the 2000ad comics.
People took a comic book cover way too seriously. It should have never gotten to that point to being with. And what was done outside this forum wasn't Jonah's responsibility. But what happened, happened. And I will tread lightly now as every time it seems I bring up the past my posts disappear or are edited.
My original point was I agree with Kirby, because it is a double standard here that is unmistakable to observe.

I don't think the issue is anti sexy either. Maybe what people think is sexist is a double standard? Is objectifying fictional homosexual men in comics any moral difference than objectifying female heterosexual characters? Both situations to different groups of people can be sexy. But is either situation sexists to others? And if so how is one different from the other?
Hmm. I would think me of all people would remember a cheesecake thread. :-) I guess my memory ain't what it use to be.
