Click here for this special “Ask a Feminist” episode of Feminerd!
Katie Tregs, Jessica, and Robin answer the questions:
What’s the difference between the DC Bombshells (and other sexualized art) and over-sexualized comic book characters (and their costumes)? Why is one more offensive than the other?
Why do women complain about unrealistic depictions of women in video games when men have a very similar issue?
Isn’t it getting better? There are more representations of women in video games, comic books, and movies, so why are you still complaining?
We also discuss:
Batgirl’s new costume
The Hawkeye Initiative
Playable female characters in video games
The Trinity Syndrome
There are spoilers for “How to Train your Dragon 2”
The “friend zone,” which we saved for the very end because it’s not really about nerdy stuff, but it’s something we hear about a lot
