    Also: Compare Chris Hemsworth (who usually stars in movies made primarily for men) with Robert Pattinson (Twilight, among other movies that he’s less ashamed of).

    But, let’s not pretend that the Schwarzeneggers and Hemsworths (and male-targeted comic books) don’t fuck up male body image. Sure it’s a power fantasy, but for most men it’s not attainable (in part because a lot of (if not most) of these action movie stars take PEDs … I mean I guess normal people can take PEDs, too, but they shouldn’t, it’s quite unhealthy). Especially if we consider how much modern western society promotes behaviors that make people obese.

      Patriarchy and objectification harm everyone? Like, can you think of someone who says otherwise? The problem is that when someone says “This comic is not for me because it objectifies someone like me” is usually the only circumstance that others respond “it objectifies someone like me too!” Like yeah, you maybe should have thought of complaining about that, rather than using that rebuttal as an attempt to stop the conversation.
