Welcome to Comicvine where the game is made up and the points don't matter.

@Crom-Cruach:

You are right it is unfair that showing breasts is perfectly acceptable but the male organ is taboo. But you know what the "moral" guardians who create and enforce this double standard:

1-Are hypocrites

2-Part of a gerontocracy who have despite their saying otherwise very unequal views of men and women

3-Are discriminatory towards homosexuals and women who are open about their sexual desires and needs.

It's not about to change any time soon either because they have the big end of the stick.

Not necessarily. We do. We have the money. Also we're the future artists, the future writers, the consumers. WE are in charge of what they produce. Unfortunately, so are the discriminators, and they're part of a seemingly larger audience.

Ugh, it's too late for me to have a well-thought out answer to anything right now.

It's a very bizarre Ancient-Grecian sort of thing, isn't it?

Not at all the greeks were open and comfortable about sexuality, especially male. This is a very recent double standard (total hypocritical double standard) by moral barometers traced at the farthest back to maybe the 1800s (repressive Victorian age England comes to mind) to find a form that could be alleged to be the ancestor of the form current western society ascribes as acceptable to show when it comes to genitalia. Which is why we have little to no problem showing the sexual organs of women in a titillating fashion (pun intended) (breasts being very sexual regardless or what anyone says) as long as it's not an outright vagina yet you can't let anyone suggests you would show the male sexual organ.

(I've been heavily studying Ancient Greek culture for about two years now, for a novel, and I'm an amateur historian :). There is evidence that the Ancient Greeks found a larger package unattractive, which is what I was referring to :} It's a hypothesis as to why male genitals are often very small on statues and in ancient art. Once upon a time, actually, you could find penises all over the place as they were a symbol of luck.

I just think that the double standard is really unfair. The industry is changing, the market is changing. Straight men aren't the only one reading comics anymore, not that they ever were, and I think some art changes are called for.

Let's try to keep it PG-13 here guys, we are talking about penises but let's try to keep it grown up or I'll get banned O_O

Try to keep it PG-13 guys, I know I started this thread but I don't want to get banned for it! Let's do try to be grownups?

@RumbleMan_Exe: It's ridickulous is what it is

@InnerVenom123: Omnipresent dick. It sees all. It knows all.

@xxxddd: Only specific characters and artists. I tend to feel like DC tends to lean a bit more towards the serious side, and after the whole new 52 thing, I just haven't felt like it was worth the time.

@utotheg38: On a scale of 1 to 10? 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

OH MY GOD.

Please don't be just a rumor, PLEASE don't be just a rumor, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't be just a rumor ; ;

FINALLY!!!

Congratulations!!!
