A blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, such as how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous ways that sacrifice storytelling.
Choose your fighter: Girl WIth Her Butt On Backwards or Girl With Gold Napkin Thong
(Panel from X-Men: Phoenix - Legacy of Fire, Marvel Comics/Marvel Max)
*note about the tags: the characters are technically named “Jena” and Madelyne “Pyre” from the late Marvel Mangaverse, but for the sake of future archive searchability I’ve decided to put them under the Jean Grey and Madelyne Pryor tags

Maybe the “and three” refers to that third butt or boob on Catwoman’s back as her body glitches out apparently.

I was looking through old UK gaming magazines with friends trying to source something, and I ran into this cover which… is something. Also I think history class misled me about the Magna Carta. Clearly it was a charter of rights for breasts to be free of their hosts. xD
Anyway, with the art and the game title “Magna Carta” and the magazine title, I figure there’s a lot to work from here for a caption contest, so let’s have one!
Caption the image. What’s happening? What are they doing? You can include the text in your caption to make a joke or whatever if you want to play on it, but you don’t have to.
I’ll pick the best/funniest captions for winners in two weeks!
Winners can get a choice of prizes if they want, but you don’t need to accept a prize to participate if you just want to participate for fun!
Good luck everybody!

It’s been 2 weeks so it’s time to announce the winners of the April caption contest!
We didn’t have as many entries this month, so I’m just going to pick a winner and a runner up and an honorable mention.
Each winner will get to choose a prize if they wish (but you don’t have to, you can just participate for fun too.) The prizes are extra Steam codes that I’ve acquired through bundles over the years and I figure that giving them out for contests would be fun.
Anyway here are the entries!
Disqus:
GreenLuthor:New from Milton Bradley, it’s Escher Girls Twister! Right hand red! Left hip yellow! Right boob blue!
Imry:Guy in the back: And I twist my spine like this? Is that how you do a boobs and butt pose? Gal in front: Hmm… nope, not working. You really gotta have boobs to do the pose. If you want a ridiculous fighting stance, try something like this?
Imry:Character: Reith, Special Attack: pulling those Looney Tunes round bombs out of her bra and throwing them
P J Evans:Are those boobs, or is she smuggling lemons? Because boobs are *definitely* not shaped like that.
P J Evans:Magna Cuppa: Tears of Pain (Because those boobs need more support)
Tumblr:
@chaoscheebs: The moment she saw her dullahan friend’s head starting to fall off in shock from the surprise attack, the lady in white jumped to block the attack aimed at her precious friend. Unfortunately, the angle she had to work from was a little awkward, but that’s how battle goes sometimes. As long as they were safe, it didn’t matter anyway.
@elkian: The magician seamlessly divided not only her assistant, but also *herself* into dozens of pieces. Unfortunately, the reassembly was a *little* less professional…
@zombiemollusk: “i don’t care if they’re the same color, you’re supposed to hide the melons UNDER your shirt, not glue them over it.” “hey, if it works, it works.” “it doesn’t work! look, here, let me just cut them off myself and show you how-” “no, back off! stop that! cut it ou- wait actually don’t do that- augh, quit it!”
The honorable mention goes to: GreenLuthor “New from Milton Bradley, it’s Escher Girls Twister! Right hand red! Left hip yellow! Right boob blue!”
The runner-up is… @elkian “The magician seamlessly divided not only her assistant, but also *herself* into dozens of pieces. Unfortunately, the reassembly was a *little* less professional…”
And the winner is… @chasedbybuildings “'Listen to me or I’ll pop her boob!’” which instantly made me laugh when i saw it.
Congratulations to the winners and also thank you so much to everybody who participated!
Please stay tuned for a new caption contest in May!
If you won and would like a Steam code as a prize, please message me with which prize you would like. If you came in 2nd, message me with 2 choices in order of preference… I’ll give you your top choice that hadn’t been taken by the other winners. (To clarify, every winner only gets 1 prize, but winners other than the one in first place should give me their list of games in order of preference so if one is taken, I’ll give you the next on the list. It makes it easier for me to hand out the prizes.)
If either the winner or the runner up don’t claim a prize, then the honorable mention gets a prize if they want one.
Boobs and butt pose aside, I kinda like how her outfit looks like she murdered Frieza from Dragon Ball and made clothes (and random belts) out of him. xD
