Quote: Dave said: But you'll never see the Justice League in a Vertigo comic. Yet, now the Justice League, without warning, are in a comic with a graphic rape scene.
You keep referring to it as a "graphic rape scene".
Three questions:
1) Have you actually read the issue we are talking about? Not skim it, or see promo scenes online, but actually read the issue itself?
2) When, in your definition, is a rape scene labeled as "graphic"? What is a "graphic rape scene" by your definition?
3) Could the chance of you just having another child be at all influencing your viewpoint on all of this? Even a little?
1. I spent 10 minutes reading it in a comic shop, much to the consternation of the owner. And trust me when I say I read very fast.
2. Sue's shredded seat of her trousers indicate a violent act, and the fact that Light's hands change position during the act over the course of three panels to indicate a prolonged act, is graphic in my view. You don't need spurting sperm to be graphic, although perhaps the term "evocative" is more suitable.
3. No. Setting aside the fact you're attacking the debater, not the debater's argument, my second daughter right now bears more resemblance to a tree frog then a female human. A cute tree frog, but still a tree frog. And my older daughter is a extremely cute blonde chimpanzee, with table manners to match. I adore them both, but they're not really female humans yet. When you have kids one day, you'll find out the truth of this... You'd be hitting closer to home if you made this point when my kids are in their teens.
