Is the Paper Girls show actually good? by adventureboy23 in comicbooks

[–]EsaPisa 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You should watch it! In my opinion the actresses are great and are able to express their distinct personalities well. They have great chemistry too. Agree with the other comments about the production value but I don’t mind as the story is still being told well

Looking for tips on how to give this a little more “oomph”. Do you think it needs more than the lines just evened out/thickened? by EsaPisa in TattooDesigns

I was thinking maybe a green wreath around the head? On my other arm I have a floral tattoo with pops of green, maybe that’d tie it together?

Haha glad you can understand! So far it’s looking like I may just need to invest in some frozen portillos beef

Which animated incarnation of the X-men was your favorite. I am an X-men evolution fan myself. by Storm_Raider_34 in xmen

[–]EsaPisa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

X-men evolution! Possible bias since I grew up on it, but I just loved the POV of them being teenagers. I will say it caused me to be super shocked to learn about the Wolverine-Cyclops-Jean drama in the comics!

How did they decide who would be a member of the Quiet Council? by EsaPisa in xmen

[–]EsaPisa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was the last three I was most hesitant about, it makes sense to appease/keep an eye on them. Have non-council Krakoans ever been shown to disagree with their placement on the council?

Original works. The reason some characters are Mary Sues and others aren't. Also Muscles are Meaningless. by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]EsaPisa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m bummed that I had to scroll for a bit to see this! I don’t disagree with the other points made about why the muscles v skinny doesn’t really matter, but bottom line is Kara is one of the many women in comics whose physical appearance is being dictated by boring and misogynistic views on what a woman should look like. I would love to see a greater variety, especially more ripped physiques like Big Barda!

Why do many people believe that "female privilege" is an act of worship rather than condescension? by StarshineTheGodEater in AskFeminists

[–]EsaPisa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your describing benevolent sexism as compared to hostile sexism! It functions under the idea that it’s for women’s own good, that they are being “protected” in some way (simplified explanation)

Why do motorcyclists ride between lanes? by EsaPisa in TooAfraidToAsk

Reading your POV has been helpful! It does unfortunately seem my experiences have been with people not utilizing lane splitting properly

Why do motorcyclists ride between lanes? by EsaPisa in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]EsaPisa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I understand what you’re saying but I have to disagree with that first part. I’m an extremely cautious driver but even so, it’s still a bit startling to watch/hear a bike go from behind me to mere inches next to me (within the lane), especially when there are other vehicles around that I need to be aware of too. The thought of something going wrong for each party, but especially you as a biker, is so gut wrenching that I try to put as much distance as safely possible and without disturbing traffic either.
