"wich the worst part was what troll face did to sonic's corpse after words wich was rape it. at that point i looked away"



From what I understand, they actually wanted to create a new character, but launching a new character who is a woman in her own franchise would have been suicide, so they're having this lady be Thor for a while before she leaves to do her own thing.

I love this Thor poo poo because it sure fits a hell of a lot better to the actual Ásatrú then most of the comics idiocy. They don't even get him being ginger right. Hell, one of the most famous stories about Þór involves him crossdressing with Loki and going to "his" own wedding to get Mjölnir back.

Seeing as Mjölnir is pretty much just an extended penis metaphor, this comic side emasculation is nothing but a return to the source.

Yeah, but Thor Girl, Wonder Woman and Storm were all just examples of women deemed worthy to possess the power of Thor. This is literally the real Thor turning into a woman, which deserves all the nerd rage in the world, because it's never happened in comics before!

Except it has.



(That's from the 1999 miniseries Earth X, written by Jim Krueger, based on notes and concepts by Alex Ross. And in case you're wondering if it's sexist to consider being a woman intrinsically humiliating, yes, it's sexist.)

Why is Loki laughing about this? Isn't he the mother of an 8 legged horse? (Among other things)

It's not really Thor turning into a woman. It's the current Thor, being unworthy of wielding mjolnir, apparently, and a new woman taking his place and name.

If people don't "believe" the comments on her videos are real, they need only look at many gaming forums across the web to find equally vile opinions spewed by dozens of members on threads that discuss the videos.

Except Sarkeesian has absolutely no reason to make it up. The likelihood it is real so far outweighs the likelihood that its fake that its really bizarre to take that stance.

edit: the only reason you are saying its fake is because you want it to be, not that you have a reason to think it is.

Go on 4chan for like, two seconds. They have very real, unironic "feminist hate" threads where they say stuff that is both more vile, and stupider. These people made actual drawn porn of this woman just to knock her down a peg. If you have any proof that this isn't real, I'm all ears.

Also, I looked up Zoe Quinn on Wikipedia, found this:

Might we ask for some proof that it's fake, then? Because there are indeed people who have regularly said the same and worse with complete sincerity, so I'm more liable to assume by default that it's genuine.

If the new run of Thor is just him and Loki scheming and crossdressing to try to get Mjolnir back because they think only women are considered worthy, now comics might actually become worth reading.
