Do comic book অনুরাগী care too much about character images?

Okay normally what I gather from what I read comic book অনুরাগী are tired of the overly sexualized portrayal of women in comics and that's understandable. Why can't there be আরো women in full body armor অথবা why can't there be a chubby super heroine without that being her power? Both are nice to see every once in a while and it makes the comics আরো realistic because not every person likes dressing like a stripper অথবা not eating bacon.

Then I stumbled upon this thread while searching for images.

The মতামত on there are horrible. For one the প্রতিমূর্তি they use do not look fat. Hell even though I wear a small and need a বেল্ট for every pair of pants I own my stomach is not washboard flat. Does this mean I'm fat? Also why can't Layla have her weird bargain bin sense of style? For one the picture they used is from a dystopian future where it can't be easy to find designer clothes and for two what's wrong with a odd sense of style? If anything it just makes her seem better to me because it means she's confident enough to wear what she wants. Maybe everyone on that thread is being sarcastic (which is hard to convey through the internet) and I'm just sensitive to the topic because she's one of my পছন্দ characters.

What do আপনি think?

Those people are either trolling অথবা a new breed of stupid. I'm so sick of people bothering with the weight of characters. Honestly, in older times, আপনি were considered a higher class if আপনি were a higher weight because আপনি could afford food.

Besides that, it would be nice to see girls coming into the Institute who are normal sized teenage girls. I know I am definitely overweight (not obese অথবা anything, but I have আরো fat than flat). It could be the start of another crappy (yes, another one) story line where these girls come out who were afraid to যোগদান the X-men because they were afraid of being bullied দ্বারা "freaks like themselves" because of something as simple as their weight.

I'm just tired of characters either being anorexic stripper-like whores অথবা disgustingly obese freaks. It's a little ironic considering society is now trying to push the whole "you're beautiful as long as আপনি প্রণয় yourself" thing, but they still keep this bullshit going.

Onto wardrobe choices, in the words of Peter Griffin, who the hell cares? Honestly? Who cares what she wears as long as she still kicks major ass? It goes back to the whole, if she (even though she's a character, but that's besides the point) is happy, can't we all be happy for her and her fashion choices, even if they aren't something we would always wear?

But to answer the first question, yes, I believe they care too much. It's just not always in the best way.

What’s sad is even when they try to write a character that is insecure about their appearance it’s something stupid and they’re drawn gorgeously anyways. Like Madeline Berry from Avengers Academy. She makes মতামত that give us the impression that she thinks she’s overweight and she looks freaking borderline anorexic! Her biggest complaint is her boobs are too small and I guess when you’re surrounded দ্বারা triple D’s it might seem that way but she looks fine! আরো than fine actually! Then at the other end of the spectrum are characters like Thumbelina whose whole character revolves around the fact that she’s big. Though I guess this problem isn’t limited to comics but it seems to be an easy thing to fix in comics. All আপনি have to do is draw the character differently and though it might take আরো time the অনুরাগী would appreciate the আরো realistic characters. Well at least some of the অনুরাগী because there will always be those people who focus too much on how a character looks.

I think its just females, which is sad. Once upon a time in the Comics, Nightcrawler had a hang up about his appearence, the Prof. made a device called an Image Inducer. He wore it and was reasonably happy, til Wolverine challenged him not to hide anymore. It worked out.
