George Takei linked to some awesome fanart parodying the standard Avengers ads with all the men in heroic action poses and Blackwidow in an ass-shot. (I'd already seen it elsewhere, and promptly bookmarked it: http://kevinbolk.deviantart.com/art/Avengers-Booty-Ass-emble-270937785 )
Most of the commenters seem to think it's varying shades of amusing and awesome. But there's a few comments containing massive, massive, MASSIVE butthurt from entitled straight male fanlings who are convinced if the real comics were drawn that way, no one would but them, and the normal way the comics are drawn is because primarily straight males buy them so it's only natural to cater to their gaze, how dare anyone cater to a different gaze?!
I pointed out that maaaaaaybe more women would buy the comics if female characters weren't treated this way. Morons.
