Traveling At The Speed Of Rage

[redbrunja]

During a conversation with the_sun_is_up  (prompted by guess what) I realized that since I stopped caring about Naruto, it's been a long time since I've really ranted.

So give me some suggestions, and we'll see what sticks. It's like a drabble meme, only with rage.

Well if you still have any vitriol left for it, misogyny in comics (Japanese or U.S.). Is it more editorial(editors dictating a formula and specific guidelines for content that is misogynistic but culturally accepted) or authorial in origin (bad writing, ignorance, active dislike of female characters) or an unholy alliance of the two?

Also, the effect that buying and accepting these sort of products has on the younger people who read them. Doesn't it make you mad that people just keep eating this sort of thing up - not just in comics but in popular literature?

I have just caught up on Legend of the Seeker, and though I greatly enjoyed it there are some things that have brought me up short. For instance, although it has fantastically kickass ladies like Kahlan and Cara, I feel like the show puts this weird taboo on female sexuality. Thoughts/comments?
