Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Holy crap, that's depressing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My poor sweet Kory. Let's hope it's just a head injury and she'll come back round.

The author was accused of slut-shaming with a previous piece. This article contains her rebuttal.

Okay, I think I misunderstood what you posted. I thought that by
Interesting article about Catwoman and Starfire's sexual escapades. And why it's not slut-shaming.
you meant that the article was about how DC's current writing of Catwoman and Starfire isn't slut-shaming.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's how I read it and was confused as well.

Sorry, the "it" was the article, not the women and DC's writing thereof.
I wonder if there are women with healthy sexual appetites not designed for the male gaze in the reboot. Jury's out on Batwoman for me, since her sexuality makes things different. Also, Wonder Woman is effective not of our culture.
A range of appetites, even.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Nice (and, I agree, depressing) article.
Random tangent, WTF is up with Red Hood's lower body in that action shot? It looks like he's wearing inflatable pants.
