CATDOLL: American cartoonist refutes that female heroes are like porn stars and we are not artists

Last week, Jill Lepore, the author of "The Secret History of Wonder Woman" and a professor at Harvard University, published an article in The New Yorker criticizing Marvel's female superhero comic "A-Force", saying that the superheroes on the cover looked like a group of porn stars. Jill Lepore said that she saw her ten-year-old son and his friends reading "A-Force", but the female heroes on the cover looked like porn stars. Why can't the author create some more reasonable female superheroes instead of using sex appeal to attract boys?

Shortly after the New Yorker article criticizing A-Force was published, G. Willow Wilson, one of the screenwriters of A-Force, publicly responded to Jill Lepore's criticism on her blog.

"I'm glad to be talking about this, although I have to respond to the points Lepore raises because they touch on something broader about our comics community," she said. "The female heroes in A-Force all have their own unique poses. They're all front-facing, with the Hulk crossing his chest, but there's no Brokeback Mountain pose, no ass in the air, no bending over to show cleavage, and none of these female heroes are in sexy poses. In other words, they're all in typical hero poses from a male perspective."

"For many readers who are familiar with female hero comics, these are all perfect poses by female heroes. Readers should know that in the comic world, women or men can hardly cover their entire buttocks with the little cloth on their bodies, but there is no female hero showing off her charm on the cover of the book, and our story does not involve sex. This is different from other comics out there."

"We are just a group of people who like popular comics. None of us aspires to be the real 'artists' that Harvard professor Ms. Jill Lepore said. It is a pity that the mainstream media has never put the spirit of comics in the first place in its attention to this comic storm. What does Ms. Jill Lepore want to express in her article? Who does she think she is helping? How should the Hulk cover his body so that the Harvard professor will not think he is a pervert? Does he need to wear an extra skirt?"

Finally, G. Willow Wilson concluded: "What I don't understand is why there are always some people in her position who stand in the ivory tower 1,000 meters high and point fingers at the people charging in the trenches."
