Re: The Book of Emma Frost
I mean, have you actually tried to wear regular underwear under yoga pants...the bunching will drive you crazy.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

The fact is, the culture has been, pretty much, developed _by_ straight white Christian guys for straight white Christian guys and, while I won't say that such people necessarily 'have it better' (as a conglomerate they do, but, again, considering the individual above the conglomerate that's not necessarily a fair statement - I see plenty of white homeless guys in Ludlow and Shrewsbury, no way I'd be inconsiderate or stupid enough to say they have it better than me, to take an extreme example), there certainly are a number of issues which people belonging to one or more of those dominant groups don't have to put up with and, therefore, might not fully appreciate. A number of people refer to it as white/male/straight etc. 'priviledge', and while that's the accepted term these days, I honestly hate that term - I think it conveys the wrong impression, as though such 'priviledges' are priviledges, and something you haven't earned or don't deserve. In reality, they aren't, IMO - it's just being treated with respect, as a human being, and being considered 'normal'. It isn't that straight white people don't deserve to be treated in this way - it's that everyone else does, and isn't, which is the actual tragedy. No one - unless they're an absolute bastard - is actually saying that you don't deserve to be treated this way. I live in a small border town and dress distinctively but in no way revealingly. Regardless, I have been wolf-whistled or mildly harassed on numerous occasions, which always left me feeling exceptionally uncomfortable. What it would be like in a city, I can only imagine. Now, I'm not going to say that comics _cause_ this, but let'e be real - the art is marketed in such a way, much of the time, as to portray women not as real women but as sex objects to be ogled. It is a cultural issue, and it is damaging. Maybe a lot of women do like to wear revealing clothing, but I'm not talking about that - I'm talking about a cultural shorthand which often conveys, intentionally or otherwise, that women exist to please men.

Re: The Book of Emma Frost
In the case of Emma Frost in particular, I think one of the main focal points of the character is that she uses her sexuality to manipulate people around her and how she presents herself physically is part of that. Often I find that type of things with characters pointless and objectionable (I stopped reading Birds of Prey because at the time the female characters were drawn as pretty much interchangeable impossible bodies with different colored hair). But for Emma I do feel like it informs her character and is part of a type of person that she represents, and that's interesting and worth representing accurately, I think.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Emma Frost
@Lazy Orang
My comment about being a 52 year old white heterosexual man and the devil wasn't directed towards you. You mentioned the male graze and I extrapolated upon that term and how some view us, like some think men are pigs for depicting women in art or whatever. My apology was in jest, and mocking those that think my group (middle-aged white straight males) are the scum of the earth. I honestly don't give a rat's ass what society thinks of me personally. I'm a good dude and raise my kids to be inclusive and love all, except for asshats Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you ...Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man TUTORIAL FOR RE-BASING FIGURES 3hrs 43mins 32secs = 1242nd of 8808 overall - 1988 Honolulu Marathon |

Re: The Book of Emma Frost
I'm a big Emma fan and I'll note that doing her "right" means doing her sexy. She's one of the few comic characters that has specifically mentioned having work done - a nose job, implants, cuts and tucks and trims. Her accent is fake. She's not a natural blonde. Everything about her is fake.
I always appreciate that in a universe of barbie doll people she's one of the few that makes it clear the way she looks is completely unnatural. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Anyway, I have always gone by the thought that 10 percent of any group are bad eggs. Obviously, the bigger the group, the more bad eggs. But nonetheless, every group has bad eggs in my opinion. But by the same token, every group has a lot more good than bad. Of course, I'm not talking about hate groups and such, or criminals. More about racial, religious, sexual preference, gender types of groups. My parents divorced when i was 5 and my dad didn't pay child support. My mom was a waitress and we lived in some pretty crapoy areas. I have had the misfortune or fortune, depending on different aspects, of living in a lot of places in my life. I went to 9 different schools while growing up (including 3 high schools) in the Chicago area, I was in the Marines for 4 years, moved to NY state near Rochester for 7 years, and a couple places in northwest Indiana where I currently live. I've lived in urban and rural areas. I've worked construction for a long time and been on many jobs with many different types of people. I have worked at a hospital for the past 11 years and it is in a very diverse area and has a great diversity of employees (racial, gender, cultural, religion etc.). So while it sucked moving around a lot and never feeling stable, it did allow me to get to know a ton of different people from different backgrounds over the years. I've learned to judge people individually and not collectively. My wife grew up in a rough neighborhood in South Chicago. We teach our 16 year old twin daughters inclusiveness and to embrace diversity. In fact, their best friends are a biracial girl, a black Puerto Rican girl, a heavier girl and a girl born in China but adopted by a couple here, and she is a double amputee from the knees down from a house fire she was in back in China as a little girl. They have gay female friends as well. We taught them to stay away from mean kids and bullies and to help others. We tell them not to take crap fom boys and not to allow themselves to be treated wrong. I expect them to pass those principles on to their children and so on etc. Ok, enough is enough on this subject and I don't want to drag this on any further.

Re: The Book of Emma Frost
Just out of curiosity, would Emma theoretically be able to attack herself by using her SA through a Proxy?
