Random thoughts.

In light of this, I thought I'd post my own opinion on it, but really, my opinion's pretty indifferent. It is after all, only one fan's opinion.

Personally, I'll summarize this fan's opinions right here: I like Power Girl's boobs. Phantom Lady's however are a little scary. I admire the variety of female bodies in comics, I think they're under appreciated, but there could always be more variety. I disagree that all racial characters are white-washed, sure Connor Hawke looks pretty damn white, but Michael Holt, Onyx, the Crimson Avenger, John Stewart and even Storm under the right artists definitely don't look white to me. And they're certainly not the dehumanized exaggerations from very early cartoons. (There's a balance, really. What makes those early depictions racist is the dehumanization, I think. People should look like *people* damnit.)

And as I recall, there was a huge stir from many Chinese people when Mulan came out because of the offensive stereotypes...though considering I'm 90% sure the fact that Mulan was a *Mongolian* figure NOT Chinese (Yes there *is* a difference) also was part of it.

(Random fact of the day: The reason the Qing Dynasty was so interested in ruling Tibet was because the Mongolian tribes actually swore fealty to the Dalai Lama in Lhasa.)

Oh and people who disagree with you and protest the lack of variety of female figures are not proponents of censorship. They're also not women who are "jealous". (Tell me something, what the hell do *I* have to feel jealous of about Power Girl. She's two-freakin' dimensional! Now the woman who *plays* Power Girl on that Classified fan video...I could be jealous of her. That woman was gorgeous. But I digress.)

You know what I'd like to see, a relatively flat chested female heroine using, as her super hero disguise, large inflatable boobs. It'd be hilarious. Seriously and there could be comic misadventure when one pops in battle. But no one would *ever* figure her out.

Hey it beats a pair of glasses. :-P
