There is an article over on Jezebel concerning the inability for gamers to modify their breast size in DCU Online. Of course this has become the latest Drama Llama among the internet. In fact, I don't understand why I'm even making a blog post on the subject. I guess I'm writing in order to collect my thoughts. I understand that it would cause a fuss if the female superheroes were not busty, just as much as it would if they were. And, let's not be coy about the subject, superheroines have been "traditionally" drawn with giant breasts. Hell, a vast majority of people (well, let's hope it is the minority) read comics simply to get their rocks off because they actually want the comic world to be theirs.
But I mean, come on. There are super-boobs, and then there are these things, beings whose very existence kind of skews the conversation towards "or maybe you have a good point there".
I have to steel my resolve as not to comment on any of the 50 million "but that's what comics ARE" posts in that article's comments section.
Merry Christmas!
