Thor-ette and ComicGate

I've been vaguely aware of the tempest-in-teapot that is the whole Thor is a Woman brouhaha going on. For the first time though, I got to see what the new Thor looks like, courtesy of Didact. Be warned, along with the three comic pages are some extra images that are real doozies: Batman as Franken Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. (Some things cannot be unseen.)

The Sackless Thor

While I'm no Thor-comic-book-fan, I have to admit: the comic comes across as pretty fuckin' sad. It's no wonder that the real die-hard Thor comic fans are spitting about the whole thing. Even I'm thinking "what the fuck?" Here's why:

First page: the Anti-hero gripes about a female Thor "Thor's a dude - about the only real one left" and "feminism screws up everything". I found it dryly ironic that that line's actually the best part of the three pages.

Second page: has Thor-ette mentally pissy because the anti-hero used the word "feminism" like it was a four-letter word. (Reality check: feminism is the new leprosy. The "I don't need feminism" women recognize this. When will the rest of you twats get a clue?) She mentally calls him a creep (ooooohh creepy dude!)

Third page: the anti-heroine knocks her partner unconscious, doesn't throw-down with Thor-ette because of "grrrrl power", and then lets Thor-ette knock her out. How limp. Plus Thor-ette has some serious body-language issues, at one point standing with her arms like a man's. Butch dyke lezzie, anyone?

Thankfully, Didact makes it up to the persistent reader by showing several pictures of the REAL Thor. Thanks man. You saved my sanity. As did the music by Amon Amarth.

I dug around via google and found the first four pages of comic #1 in a Blastr article/review. It also comes across as very limp. More, the brigade of the limp-wristed (rabbits, mangina's, SJWs, and feminasties) had it out with the more die-hard Thor fans. I couldn't read much of that burble. Bad for my sanity.

So thinking about this, I dub this whole load of bullshit with the hashtag: #ComicGate.

I wonder if the same thing will happen to the SJW and feminasty crowd like it did in #GamerGate. Or maybe Marvel will get a fuckin' clue, realize that their alienating their real audience: their male fans. 'Cause the female fans are only there to "participate" in a male space.

Excuse me. I can only take so much. I'm going to rinse my mouth and gut out with tequila - not ruinin' the taste of Grand Marnier with this pap.

If you want to fuck with a woman's mind in a plausibly-deniable manner, simply use one single word.

Interesting.

It has vague connotations of distancing, disapproval, disapprobation - and will strike directly into the heart of her psyche, triggering off her inner fears. In Game-terms it sets her hamster to running at warp-speed. In psychological terms it triggers her inner feelings of inadequacy, given that most (if not all) women have an inferiority complex.

Yes, underneath that grandiose exterior plastered over her psyche by society is the very real knowledge that she is nowhere near as worthwhile as her grandiose exterior indicates. No way is she gonna admit it though, and she'll freak if you explicitly dig it out. Which is why it's best to do this in a plausibly-deniable manner.

Where do these insecurities come from? My personal theory is: feminist brainwashing. It's turned most women into gibbering messes that require constant medication (1-in-4 American women are on antidepressants). This is why many women will automatically see the worst in any situation or utterance, especially when a man is involved.

At any rate, you can have a lot of fun, playing on her natural insecurities in a plausibly-deniable manner. If you do it right you can quietly and "accidentally" expose her inner insanities for all to see.

What, amongst the crap and insanity, you still think that there is a chance of finding someone normal?

You'd better define "normal" first.
