May I also point out that Lady Eivor is a towering, thick, muscular woman that isn't an "IG Fit" model with a shaved head and tattoo, scars on her face, a strong jawline and features, and a deep, raspy voice.
She goes against EVERY stereotypical Beauty Standard "Norm" that society expects all women - fictional or not- to follow...
Yet she is STILL absolutely Stunning
She was never intended for the male gaze, and the men are freaking out about it. Because at least with Kassandra she was still stereotypically beautiful, and therefore they could use that as an excuse for their sexism (she's too weak, not gritty enough etc)
But now Lady Eivor has been shown just how brutal she can be, in ALL her glory! Something that poor Kassandra was never allowed the opportunity until her game came out.
This is a woman who is truly ferocious, and for the first time she gets to be ferocious in her marketing...and that terrifies certain types of people who are still stuck in their misogynistic ways.

I know Steve is really talented with his shield and is like an expert with it
but just imagine him smacking it in his face
or tripping over it
or waking up in the middle of the night and he shuffles off to the bathroom only to step on the edge of the shield and it smacks him in the shin and he curses loudly enough to wake up the other Howling Commandos who just sit up and start laughing at the way Steve is holding onto his leg and swearing
Nick Robles is honestly out here like:
Powerpuff Girls was actually a show about a group of small children crushing the patriarchy and no one will convince me otherwise
I love how many Golden Age “World’s Finest” covers are basically just Superman and Batman taking their adopted son Robin out for fun activities like good supportive parents (though not above a little harmless fun at each other’s expense).

Umberto Eco's work on the philosophy of language is fascinating, but my hand doesn't appreciate the constant note taking.
thinkin about my (openly gay) lit professor today saying, “one of my favorite historical anecdotes is the time that Oscar Wilde was in America, at the same time that Walt Whitman was active and writing poems about sticking his tongue down other men’s shirts, and Wilde went to Whitman’s house exactly one time and spent several hours there, and ever since all these historians have been like ‘what could they have been doing???? it’s such a shame we’ll never know…’ and I just…. we know. the only question now is who was the top.”
When you realize your overpowered goody two shoes, co-worker laughs in the exact way that the mild manner, clumsy, loveable oaf Clark Kent you dated, fell in love with, and then dumped because you knew you could never tell a civilian much less a reporter about your villgantly night “job”. Resulting in ruining the best thing in your life.
