Women read comics. Anyone at all engaged in social media knows this. Women read comics and are a driving force behind fandom. I think I could call them the driving force behind fandom and put up a convincing argument. Just think about it: what fandoms have driven America crazy in the last decade? Could anyone dissuade me from saying that they were Harry Potter, Twilight and the Hunger Games? “Avatar” may have put butts in theater seats, but you don’t hear about it… ever. No one is immersed in the world of “Avatar” except James Cameron and people who enjoy wearing Na’vi Zentai suits. “The Avengers” was pretty darn huge and, if Tumblr is any indication, a whopping portion of the people driving that fandom online do not possess a Y chromosome. Women engage in fandom to levels that men do not. When women get behind something, their sheer numbers and passion force it into the mainstream. That’s why you can name the actor who plays that werewolf kid in “Twilight” and probably sing at least the chorus to one Justin Bieber song. What do tween boys like? I have no clue. Sports? Probably sports.

Brett White, Comic Book Resources (via wandrinparakeet) and yet men remain the most marketed demographic for just about everything. (via ohhoechno) I’m pretty sure the only men who spend more time thinking about DC than women on Tumblr are the men who actually work there. (via touchofgrey37) ^^^^ And evidence shows the men working at DC suck at it (via chaneldancegrl) |
Rebecca Sugar’s Steven Universe Pilot!
Notes on this short:
- The characters feel very realistic, as do their relationships. The only unrealistic element is Lars, and he has the girl next to him as a realistic counter-character.
- This is perhaps the only show on CN right now where we will see girls get beaten up on the same level as boys. Adventure Time has its moments but usually they’re tiny.
- The art style is very much Rebecca’s, as the characters smile and such in the way she draws even compared to her Adventure Time expressions.
- Even though Lars isn’t realistic in personality, for the first time he doesn’t have a position of power or status above the character he teases - he is an underdog, an underdog jerk, which is extremely rare on cartoons where jerks tend to be in better social positions.
m-83:
I hate those “What Character Are You?” quizzes because you can always tell what answer goes to what character.
Like,
- What’s your favorite color?
- Baby blue!
- I like red (;
- Pink!♥
- Yellow/Orange
and it’ll be like, “Well, my favorite color is green but I know Princess Bubblegum…
