i HATE when a woman character is oversexualized and people are like “it’s her CHOICE as a woman to wear makeup and a push-up bra as body armor!!” like ????
do y’all realize that characters aren’t real? that someone like wonder woman did not “decide” to wear a miniskirt and heels? someone else, a creator, a designer, chose that?
like black widow is not a real person. she’s not “empowering” herself by wearing a tight leather suit with a bunch of cleavage showing. she’s playing into a fantasy.
somewhere down the line, a real life human being is making the decision for the female character in question to be oversexualized. that’s not a character “reclaiming” anything. that’s some guy in charge being horny on set. and that guy is probably joss whedon.
