I think. I think this can be classed as "relevant to your interests". And if it's not, well, it should be. Trigger warning for slut-shaming.

Observe the beautifully worded and well thought out views of James Gunn, the director-to-be on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (yes, written over a year ago, but is that the point? I think not. Also, original article available here through Google Cache):

( Cut for TWCollapse )

SO! As a result please: Petition to remove James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy

[...] Someone created a petition, I signed it, and I hope many people on Tumblr will, too, because Marvel needs to know that we CARE about who will handle big franchises, and how BAD it is that a man like him is allowed to work in this industry, considering his vision of women and women characters is basically, meat.

Signal boost this, please. And let’s see if we can make ourselves heard.

Please sign this. Because I have been into comics for the grand total of about two months and the poor treatment and representation of female characters became apparent to me about 2 days in.

And you know Natasha would ninja this shit.
