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/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

Zerujin submitted: Poses like this irk me a whole lot. He is showing off his “prize” to the reader and the way her arm is held it should probably hurt. The artist is notorious for huge boobs and thin waists, also likes to sexualize a lot. Maybe I’m overly paranoid but I don’t like it. I think Rogue is melting.

  6. shiitake-tissues said: I don’t know why, but out of everything here, her right arm and face shape bother me the absolute MOST. There’s just something about her expression and face I just don’t like…
