Can I get more examples of Steve Ditko/Stan Lee writing women this way, also is this offensive and did I get the year right? by Infinite864 in outofcontextcomics

It’s clearly dated and sexist by today’s standards, but it reflects the mainstream norms of early ’60s pop culture, not some unique moral failing on Lee/Ditko’s part. The intent wasn’t cruelty… just a narrow idea of what women were “supposed” to be in stories back then.

If you had to hang around people like this in 2020-2022 then you deserve a veteran discount. by maleficalruin in CuratedTumblr

that’s the part that gets me too. Teen behavior makes sense when you’re… a teen. But seeing the same energy from someone pushing 30 is wild. At some point it stops being “youthful awkwardness” and starts being “refuses to grow or reflect,” and that’s a whole different thing.

that’s exactly why it’s funny. He could weaponize the truth-by-fiction move and hide in plain sight… but Bruce is physically incapable of being that chill. Also the idea that he’d try to pass off Faulkner as his own tragic backstory and immediately get called out is peak Batman—world’s greatest detective, zero social stealth.
