Ohhhhhhhhhhhh SHIT, you guys! I have spent several months bitching about the fact that Daredevil is all about an angsty white guy with brown hair, and Gotham is all about an angsty white guy with brown hair, and Flash is all about an angsty white guy with brown hair,...
I'd like you to do an experiment. Go to Google image search, and look for the following in order. Note how many sexualized images you see before you have to scroll down. Here's my total: Wonderwoman: 1 Maybe she's not a good example. Most pictures are of the TV...
