Supergirl with a bare midriff? Makes sense. She’s bulletproof.


Huntress with a bare midriff? What the f**k are you DOING!?


Storm with high heels? Makes sense. She can fly.


Black Canary with high heels? YOU’RE A MARTIAL ARTIST for CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!





Agreed right down the line.



I read a thread a while back about how I was being ‘hypocritical’ because I defended some female characters’ skimpy costumes.


Which I do.  


Power Girl’s boob window doesn’t bother me, it fits her character. Red Sonja’s chainmail doesn’t bother me, she’s a barbarian, it works for her. 


At the same time, I hated hated hated Huntress’ belly window and railed against it in public and in private for ages until we got rid of it, only for it to be brought back later. It looks weird, AND it does not fit Huntress’ character at all. 


It is purely a matter of characters. Tigra wearing a bikini? Fine, it fits. Sue Storm wearing a thong? That is not right.



I don’t get why this is complicated.
