Because even “Hannah Montana” gets it…

F: you know I really love Miley sometimes.

Props.
Fuck Urban Outfitters.  They’re currently selling Mitt Romney shirts now.
I haven’t shopped there in over a year.  I thought it’d be difficult at first, but I’ve found better sources for clothes.  You can be fashion oriented without supporting bigotry.
 

Miley Cyrus got really cool somehow.

I’ve a lot of (very secret) love for Miley. Admittedly, she doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near as famous as she is, but she comes across as a pretty sweet kid in interviews, and seems to be more genuinely into it, less of an entitled douche and more determined to make a name for herself than you’d expect, all things considered.

Between owning her own sexuality and actually paying attention to things like principles, I think I like who Miley Cyrus has decided she wants to grow up to be. More importantly, I like that Miley Cyrus has decided she wants to grow up to be her own person. 

I can’t believe I’m typing this- I really am liking who Miley Cyrus is growing up to be.

Urban Outfitters has been off my list of places to shop for awhile now, and it’s always wonderful to see more people pointing out what jerks they are- especially someone with as big of a reach as Miley.

This is my letter to angry fanboys.

First, let it be known that I love most fanboys. When I go to a con, most of the guys there are respectful. They share a passion with me, and that’s awesome. We’re all on a rock floating through space with little connection to most of the people who surround us, so anything that allows us to bond is fantastic.

What I don’t love are angry fanboys (I wish there were a different word for them). I don’t love being scoffed at when I jump excitedly at finding a comic. I don’t love being told that, if I didn’t like something, it’s because it wasn’t “meant for chicks.” I don’t love the notion that I’m not a real fan because I have two X chromosomes and like to look at the Avengers cast. And I sure as hell don’t love my online interests (particularly shipping) being looked down on by the people who do this:

(Comment on a negative Rotten Tomatoes review of The Avengers.)

(Message in my inbox. Way to be an anonymous coward.)

(Comment on the the SHH boards.)

That last one’s fairly tame. It followed a (now deleted) comment that went something to the effect of this: “Tumblr is sick. I can’t even browse the Avengers tag because of all the fangirls posting porn.”

Well, you know what? I’m not sorry.

I’m not sorry my enjoyment of fandom is different from yours.

Maybe my time would be better spent bitching at reviewers and complaining that Black Widow made it to film before Ant-Man. But that’s not what I choose to do. I choose to draw. I choose to write fanfic. I choose to share podcasts and make comic book recommendations. I choose to be positive (when I’m not pissed of at people like you anyway).

I’m not sorry you sometimes stumble upon sexualized male characters.

You know why? Because of this:

(Zatanna’s new “costume”)

And this:

(Starfire)

And this:

(Heroes for Hire #13)

And, finally, this:

(Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, and TITS AND ASS!)

You get to ogle comic book characters constantly. You get to ogle movie characters constantly. And you know what? While I have a problem with the double standard in comics, that is your right. Women are sexy.

But if I want to put Iron Man and Captain America on the cover of The Notebook or pose them like Cyclops and Jean Grey, I’m going to do it. And I think I have the right to without being thought of as some sort of freak.

(Shameless self-promotion.)

How is the way I enjoy my hobby less healthy than the way you enjoy yours? How am I the one who’s inappropriate? I think it’s because I sexualize male characters instead of female ones.

I’m not sorry that makes you uncomfortable.

(“Leave the Avengers aloooonnneeeee!”)

(Wasp would never say this.)

I’m not sorry you’re a homophobe.

Actually, I kind of am. Exploring alternate sexual orientations isn’t “defamation of character.” It’s 2012, for crying out loud. I’m not a lesbian (or curious for that matter) but I can appreciate the Spider-Woman/Ms.Marvel pairing and the occasional Pepper/Natasha fic. The world of internet fandom has a lot to offer you if you let it.

I’m not sorry for shipping.

Shipping is glorious. I ship because it’s nice to think that these epic heroes have equally epic romances. Some of the fanfic out there is better written than a lot of comic books. Some of the fanart is better than real comic book art (looking at you, Rob Liefeld). Some of the things I ship are canon (Spider-Man/MJ). Others aren’t.

(Not canon.)

There’s a misconception that fangirls are only interested in male/male pairings. Some of them are, and who cares? That’s their right. But the assumption just isn’t true. There’s a reason Natasha/Clint is popular among movie fans. There’s a reason Tony/Pepper is popular. Those characters have boatloads of chemistry.

Then again, so do Loki/Thor, Tony/Bruce, and Tony/Steve. Don’t want ladies to overwhelmingly ship male characters together? Make a movie with more than one female lead. We can’t help it that The Avengers is a sausage party.

We are going to ship. We are going to ship loudly and proudly and there’s nothing you can do about it. I suggest you stop complaining and jump on the bandwagon. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy fangirls when you get to know us. We have a sense of humor. We have a sense of fun. We just happen to also have a strong sense of romance and a thing for attractive men.

So sue us.

*STANDING OVATION*

Bless this post

So much this

Oh, I’m sorry, are people sexualizing your gender and then putting it on the internet in a way that makes you uncomfortable?  Welcome to every single day for women.

^^

i like it when the boys kiss

This is REALLY interesting to me, and extremely well put.  I personally am not a big non-canon shipper. I don’t ship Steve/Bucky, I don’t ship Steve/Tony. I ship Bucky/Tasha and Steve/Sharon (and a little Tony/Steve unrequited IT WASN’T WORTH IT abloobloobloo poor Tony) and oh God I ship the shit out of Billy/Teddy. So mostly I’m a fan of canon, and canonically in comics, most of the characters aren’t gay. More’s the pity. But what the He-Man-Woman-Haters Club that is 90% of comic fans on the internet don’t get is that THAT’S NOT THE POINT. The point is shut up. And the ultimate shut-down-your-argument reasoning is pointed out with really stomach turning elegance in the images the OP used.

Look at what comics do to women. Look at what comics use women for. We have no say in that. All we can do is not buy that shit. And you think you DARE have the right to tell FANS what they can and cannot create or enjoy in a space like the internet? Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you.

You can strip this argument of many interesting and important facets- the misogyny and the homophobia, mostly- down to one very simple point: If you don’t like it, do the same thing we have to do all the time. Make the choice. Either suffer through it to get to the things you like, or fuck off and spend your time elsewhere.

I find it hilarious that it’s only now that these fellas are finding out that slash exists.  Because really… it’s been around for ages.  (Seriously. Dates back to Star Trek TOS)

People will slash anything and everything.  Sometimes it doesn’t take much effort at all-

Just try to read the novelization for Revenge of the Sith and not walk away with the notion that Anakin and Obi-Wan were in LURVE.  (Seriously.  After being knocked unconscious, one recognizes the other’s butt)  BBC’s Sherlock put plenty of winks and nods to the Holmes fandom that ships Sherlock/John.  And let’s face it, X-Men First Class was practically a love story between Charles and Erik.

I personally wrote femslash in Kill Bill.  I loved writing for Pirates of the Caribbean because let’s face it- Jack probably would bed anything so long as it was up for it.  (And I ship a lot of canon pairings too- it’s usually the dynamics that interest me more than anything)

I feel no sympathy for men who feel threatened that fictional men are being sexualized in a way that they don’t approve of.  Especially since I’m pretty sure that most of these guys have watched a scene with two women in it on a TV show or movie and wanted them to kiss.

Nobody is forcing you to read anything or accept a pairing as yours.

Don’t like it?  Don’t read it.  That’s pretty much the first rule of fandom- ignore the ships you just don’t understand.

Homophobic Heterosexual gents, time to grow up and accept that other people have varied sexual interests and are just as capable as seeing subtext as you are.  Nobody is “ruining” anything.  You can turn to any TV show, movie, or comic and get the female objectification that you crave.  Don’t assume you can dictate what’s on the internet, too.

ETA:  But seriously, so long as edgy redesigns give classier characters like Zatanna the most ridiculous “biker chick” outfit… you guys have no reason to complain.  DC & Marvel are convinced that straight men are their audience.  Check your privilege.
