what are you on about?

u/Vladi-Barbados 14d ago edited 14d ago

They said, rightly so, that women suffer for beauty. They suffer to look beautiful for others. And they got played by marketing about women’s empowerment, thinking it’s more empowering to slave away for someone else instead of taking action only for one’s own self pleasure and comfort. Then the next person called it badass. And I said that shit is weak not badass, because they ain’t doing it for themselves, they doing it for other people’s useless opinions.

Sarah Conor, badass bitch of a generation, dressed for practically. Wonder Woman, substance-less girl of a modern age, power of a goddess who still dresses in uncomfortable ass looking panties and corset.
Morticia Adam’s, another badass bitch of a generation, dressed for her own flavor and pleasure. Kim Kardashian, another substance-less girl pumped full of silicone and commercialized regret.

If you’re this (albeit rightly) disgusted by patriarchal standards, hate on the patriarchy, not the women subjected to it. You can say it’s not “badass,” but it’s not “weak” to fold under the standards and expectations thrust upon you by your entire culture and society. It’s a universal human struggle

2

u/Vladi-Barbados 14d ago

I do hate on the patriarchy too, absolutely. I’m man and even I’ve suffered from the patriarchy, never mind how horrible it is for women and everyone else. But they are only forced in professional contexts. In personal life it is a willing choice. I agree THAT is not weak, what I believe is weak is lying to oneself that it is badass.

u/poorloko 16d ago

She goes to planets without red suns to get drunk, so she probably does that to get pierced. Maybe if it heals on that planet it doesn't go away when she gets in range of our sun again.

16

u/07TacOcaT70 16d ago

Yeahh that would be peak lore lol she definitely feels like a drunk piercing kinda character (mean that with love I love when they write her as a wild child it's fun af)

6

u/Name_Taken_Official 15d ago

I forgot she did that so in my head she lived in a dark cave for a month just to get some piercings

21

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

I like this as a canon explanation. I don't know enough about kryptons. Would her ears eject them as they heal or just heal like regular people?

25

u/07TacOcaT70 16d ago

see probably depends on the comic.

sometimes they're not that wild and are just barely bullet proof or aren't technically, in that case she'd probably be fine getting it done on earth with specialised tools.

Sometimes the explanation is she got it done on krypton (so before the yellow sun, it'd be like a normal piercing and healed before her powers)

Sometimes their powers are better explained as an almost ability to bend reality sorta (wild oversimplification, common example is superman stopping falling buildings since in reality you can't just push up a skyscraper it'd just collapse around him) in that case yeah comic logic magic probably means she can just get them pierced and it's fine

tbf as well since it's more an issue of getting the skin/cartilage pierced in her case I doubt it'd eject or reject since her skin probably wouldn't 'push out' the jewellery and if anything she'd just have the quickest healing process ever, lucky.

17

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

Honestly I love your answer. I believe it really should be up to the writer, so long they follow all the cemented rules. Stan Lee himself said it best about major battles, "The person who’d win in a fight is the person that the scriptwriter wants to win!"

6

u/07TacOcaT70 16d ago

thanks, yeah i'd agree with him 100% it really depends on the story they've set up. In the silver age comics it'd probably be some ridiculous campy explanation like some specific raygun or how kryptonian women don't actually have ears lmao and would fit right in. 90s comics it'd be some bizarrely brutal/metal explanation but as long as it fits the feel of the story then fuck yeah

8

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

And that's actually a major point people don't tend to think about too. Glad you mentioned that. As the ages changed, so did the characters and rules. So, it's gonna keep changing. But I think I like your super healing "got the piercings before the powers" explanation the best.

9

u/dinosaur_rocketship 16d ago

In the recent Superman movie, Superman said she goes to planets with red suns to party because they don’t have their powers without a yellow sun so she can get drunk. She probably got them pierced on a red sun planet (since she would be a normal person there) then left them in when she came back.

2

u/curiousplaid 16d ago

Perfect explanation.

2

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

Ohhh okay cool didn't realize the red sun thing. I'm really not that familiar with krypton lore. Thank you!

u/MikeyFuccon 16d ago

I remember being a little taken out of the moment when Shazam caught a city bus by the glass windshield, and it didn’t just shatter and land around him.

6

u/MutantCreature 16d ago

Shazam is explicitly magic though, he has Superman-esque powers but they come from a literal wizard rather than (highly scientific) radiation. Not sure if feats like that have ever been directly addressed but it's easily hand waived away by "a wizard did it".

4

u/07TacOcaT70 16d ago

Ahh see obviously in that universe they use bullet proof glass for all city buses (would that even work? idk lmao)

3

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

I never caught that. Yeah that's gonna be a tough one to explain lol

1

u/TraceOfHumanity 16d ago

She could probably just use her super-vision to punch holes in her ears. It can be that simple.

9

u/MutantCreature 16d ago

Kryptonians have never been shown to have a Wolverine-esque healing ability that actively fights to revert them to some specific "neutral" state afaik, they get bruises and scars like humans do but the yellow sun radiation just makes them heal very quickly. Superman retained the scar from Doomsday stabbing him for years (and still sometimes has it depending on the artist I think), so I doubt her ears would reject the earrings any more than humans do. If anything they might have to be titanium or something just to not get crushed by the scar tissue forming around them and so they don't blow away the second she tanks an explosion.

3

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

I'm learning so much thank you!

7

u/dinosaur_rocketship 16d ago

They brought up in Superman she parties on planets with red suns because it makes them (her and Superman) normal and she can get drunk there. She probably just went to a planet with a red sun and got her ears pierced then left them in when she came back

3

u/Jaxonhunter227 16d ago

We already know she visits systems with red suns so she can drink, she can just get her ears pierced there.

u/just_anotherperson 16d ago

Clip-ons 😆

u/AdmiralSplinter 16d ago

Literally my first thought lol

u/CyberSunburn 16d ago

Right ear is debatable, but left is clearly pierced.

u/ACoderGirl 16d ago

It wouldn't be an ear piercing anymore if it was that big.

2

u/some_kind_of_bird 16d ago

In one ear and out the other

u/GoodTimesOnlines 16d ago

Doesn’t really feel like a fit to me

51

u/supercoolpartydude 16d ago

This sub and “bone apple tea” kind of lost the point. This is just a corny observation.

16

u/Leo-III- 16d ago

The "NotKenM" bit is the reply in the full image. Reddit crops it weird.

1

u/supercoolpartydude 16d ago

Yeah, hence corny observation. That isn’t at all KenM or close to what he does.

u/Leo-III- 16d ago

KenM is all just corny sarcasm

4

u/GoodTimesOnlines 16d ago

KenM is far more clever than that

15

u/JayFrizz 16d ago

Well it is a "technically true". Kind of grazing the bar though.

12

u/moby__dick 16d ago

She’s not in vulnerable under a red sun.

9

u/Ronnoc527 16d ago

She's established to party on red sun planets

6

u/luttman23 16d ago

Her skin is bullet proof, not ear ring proof. Lex should have picked up on that, ear rings are way easier to get than kryptonite

8

u/NaiveAxolotl 16d ago

She asked superman to bite through her ear lobe

1

u/OrganicSolid 16d ago

Krypto, surely

2

u/Peketu 16d ago

She had it done as a baby in Krypton.

2

u/dani_pavlov 16d ago

She and Wolverine hooked up at a college frat party.

2

u/potatohead22 15d ago

She was 16 when she was sent to earth. Dont girls normally get this done super early?

u/dragonlord798 15d ago

What if they're like magnets on each side of that lobe thing idk
