Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, Sting like a WTF!?

This is a blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, specifically how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

Was shown this today. In the words of the other person, “Oh, just f—- you.” The French translates roughly to “Touch both sides. Twice the sensations.”

I love the link of “playing video games” with “groping boobs”.  I thought the addition of touch screens, etc are meant to increase the appeal of gaming to a larger audience, but it appears the assumption is yet again that the only people who’d want to game are a very specific subset of hetero men.  And apparently ones that a) really want to grope women’s boobs and b) don’t think women’s backs are sexy because it’s just wasted space that boobs could be in. XD
