X-Men Question
Do comic book fans care too much about character images?
Okay normally what I gather from what I read comic book fans are tired of the overly sexualized portrayal of women in comics and that's understandable. Why can't there be more women in full body armor or why can't there be a chubby super heroine without that being her power? Both are nice to see every once in a while and it makes the comics more realistic because not every person likes dressing like a stripper or not eating bacon.
Then I stumbled upon this thread while searching for images.

The comments on there are horrible. For one the images they use do not look fat. Hell even though I wear a small and need a belt for every pair of pants I own my stomach is not washboard flat. Does this mean I'm fat? Also why can't Layla have her weird bargain bin sense of style? For one the picture they used is from a dystopian future where it can't be easy to find designer clothes and for two what's wrong with a odd sense of style? If anything it just makes her seem better to me because it means she's confident enough to wear what she wants. Maybe everyone on that thread is being sarcastic (which is hard to convey through the internet) and I'm just sensitive to the topic because she's one of my favorite characters.
