A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Recorded using whatever who cares because the GIF standard is so old it nullifies all the technological process of the past 15 years and the only reason we continue to use it is because we can do animated videos without linking to youtube

As someone who hates links to youtube, I still approve of GIFs. I'd just prefer a solution that says "You can see moving pictures without Flash or HTML5 shitfuckery". and without all the inaccuracies inherent in gifs.

Not really. Gifs can have whatever quality you want.

Here's a perfectly high quality gif of Duke Nukem Forever.

Aliens gif. Nice quality, too.

Here's Jessica Alba having a wardrobe malfunction.

It's mostly the fault of how the gifs are created. There's no good reason they can't look like a crisp clear animated image.

People say 'why should they bother turning down the T&A when girls don't read comics anyway'. But people get hooked on comics young, and young girls aren't always comfortable seeing ass-jutting titmonsters in their media of choice.

X-Men Evolution attracted a lot of girls in my school to superheroes, way back when. It was a very female-friendly show without alienating guys. Teen Titans, too, and The Incredibles. But stepping into the comics shop I was treated like some sort of feminine infiltrator. Granted, the guy who ran it was kind of an elitist dick, which seems stupid. Is it good business practice to make the uninitiated feel like they're not welcome?

Anyway, I kind of choked on my own spit when I saw comic version of Starfire. It wasn't even like I hated the sight of sexy women, I just... I already knew where to find naked ladies on the internet if I felt like looking at them. At some point I bought one of those comics where the guy was tracing porn actresses and felt a little molested. I gave Witchblade a try too because of the TV show, and that was a no go. Eventually I just gave up on anything that wasn't X-Men and started reading whatever manga Barnes & Noble sold.

I started trying to learn to draw then, because I figured the only way I'd read a superhero comic with non-porny females was if I drew it myself. That was a sad exercise, my art skills are not up to the challenge, to say nothing of my writing.

Anyway, if anybody gets down to this post, could we build a list of good comics not infected with the T&A virus? Perry Moore's Hero had pretty good female characters, though it's not a comic yet (is it?). Y the last man didn't have any superheroes in it--unless sperm is a superpower--but it was very good. The only other comic I've read recently is P.L.A.I.N. Janes.

[–]tea_angel 71 points72 points ago

Sadly women are e black sheep of the comic industry still. I love love lovelovelove comics, but I haven't found one that doesn't have porn star females in it. Have you tried webcomics? there are a ton of quality webcomics out there, and they don't have to hold to the archaic standard published comics have. Also, many are drawn much better, and have better storyline.

[–]wlievens 17 points18 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You should read some European comic books, they tend to be lot more down to earth.

For some good Nordic themed fantasy (by a Belgian-Polish duo), check out Thorgal which has interesting normal humans (and other creatures) of both sexes.

I read a couple, Gunnerkrigg Court is my favorite. Teahouse is getting really good too. I need to catch up on The Meek. I used to read Penny and Aggie but it got really weird and now everyone's a lesbian I guess?

Have you read Runaways? I have the big fat hardbacks, and I don't remember much unnecessary sideboob there. When I left off there were lesbians and a mostly female cast and everything was really cool even though my favorite got dead.

Not to mention the horrific, impossible, spine breaking poses. This blog does a good job of calling them out, Eschergirls.

[–]Batcaptain 14 points15 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Do kids read comics anymore? I've been following the industry for the past few years, and I'm pretty sure the top selling titles are the nerdy, legacy, plain superhero ones and Walking Dead. And if kids are buying comics, they definitely aren't buying them in the quantity they did in the 60's and 70's.

I agree that the sexism should be toned down, but that argument probably doesn't hold much water. It should be toned down just because it's degrading; regardless of the kids.

And like I said, I could be wrong and kids could be buying a ton of comics every week, but I'm pretty sure they aren't. Video games took their place.

And to answer the question about comics featuring cool women, Queen and Country is supposed to be good. I haven't read it, but it's Greg Rucka, so it's good.

EDIT: Also Promethea, although I haven't read it either. And Tulip was good in Preacher, and Sandman had a bunch of good female characters, often as protagonists.

EDIT II: And Frank Miller's Martha Washington stuff. Haven't read it either, so grain of salt and everything.

You can maybe check out some European comics, or non-superhero ones? There's /r/altcomics to discuss indie/euro comics, it's a bit slow but maybe you can find some recommendations there :D.

[–]vmos 5 points6 points ago

but I like comics featuring giant robots and or people throwing each other through walls, I just don't want to feel like a pervert while reading them.

You could check out the manga called Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It's drawn by Hayao Miyazaki and it is a very cool story.

There is also an animated movie with the same name. The anime is basically the first chapter of the manga. The manga goes much further though and is well worth the read.

I don't know where you can get a hold of it though.

I love the X-Men, but that abhorrent ass-flasher Psylocke is pretty much an Asian porn fetish icon, and Greg Land seems to have some kind of deal where he'll be tracing porn onto the X-Men's faces for years to come.

You're probably mostly out of luck in regards to superhero comics, but DC's vertigo label is pretty good at telling stories that arw not just nerdporn. Check out classics like Sandman, Death, Lucifer, or Paul Pope's stuff. Lots of other good indie stuff as well, Like everything made by craig thompson.
I worked several years in a comic book store, and there's definitely alternatives to spandex wearing plotholes and mass produced japanese trash.

One thing that's always distracted me in a lot of modern comics is that a great deal of comic book artists seem to have no grasp of human anatomy whatsoever. I mean, I'm not a doctor and I know it's supposed to fiction, but some of the muscles and joints that they invent out of nowhere are rigoddamndiculous.

given the number of women who have a thing for nice male butt's...comic book sales/movie tickets sales/dvd and blu-ray sales might see an increase.

i must defer to you on this as I'm not the most knowledgeable of the behind-the-pages stuff...what do you think the implications are of this pretty obviously sexualized style on the debate here that women in comics are sexualized but men aren't? Why doing you think Nightwing was drawn like this?

Women would buy one copy and share it... it's the gay male audience that would increase sales!

There was a good article about how the depiction of women in comics was alienating one-half of the possible market and outlined why it was a dumb idea (asides from 'rargh, misogyny and exploitation'), but I don't have it to hand.

Edit: I never found the article, but well put everyone. Some great points raised. Upvotes all round!

Here's one that at least touches on it - and a pretty good follow-up.

Those two are mostly about costuming and so on, but there's also Women in Refrigerators, which discusses the problematic roles of female characters in comics beyond what they happen to be wearing.

[–]Nerdlinger 16 points17 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The first one was good, but the follow up was pretty shitty. I mean, you've got the same guy arguing that it's a terrible response to the issue to say someone is gay or to say they're bringing up the issue in order to get laid dropping repeated lines like:

Simply using the phrase "epic cleavage" means that that comment is the closest he's gotten to any in a situation involving another person.

Yes, them saying you are doing it in order to get laid is a shitty argument, but calling someone a virgin or abhorrent to women as a means of discrediting their argument isn't what we call kosher, down at the docks.

Also if I see one more person say something like "you're just arguing semantics" I'm going to fucking scream. Semantics are important things, people. They are what gets us from symbols to meaning. Christ.

Err, yeah they tried that a few years ago in a little film called Batman and Robin. It didn't work out.

This is a good illustration of sexism in comic books imo

EDIT: For the Naysayers....

Here is one first reading: http://boingboing.net/2012/01/16/how-idealization-of-women.html

And I'm trying to find that awesome comic that explains exactly why the way men are "also idealized" in comics is not to appeal to a female fantasy at all, but to a male power fantasy. If they were sexualized for us, they would look closer to Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and the like than to hypermasculine bodybuilders.

To be fair, you do tend to see a decent amount of bulging codpiece in superhero comics.

I didn't mean for my comment to come off like that. I simply meant that a lot of comic artists are not shy about trying to make their characters have idealized body types.

Pro tip: With the latest version of Reddit Enhancement Suite, you can add a link when you tag someone. That way, when you see the tag, you can go to the link and be reminded why you tagged them!
