As you can see there is nothing feminine about the book. She has a battle armor suit, can easily take down bad guys on her own, and even life with her roommate isn’t too stereotypical. Basically she is just like Batman in terms of armor, gadgets,fighting,and in terms of the book: tone and violence. All and all a woman who is part of the Bat family to help make Gotham City a safer place.

Now this week issue 35 came out while it is the same Batgirl we have been reading about for the last 3 years she now lives in Burnside while attending college and it just screams tumblr, feminist, and “empowered woman”

The artwork and tone make it feel like the show Girls. I worry something like this will happen to Ghostbusters. Instead of just giving us awesome characters that are women they are going to try and give us women characters for the sake of being women. If the crazy tumblr feminists are actually getting forms of entertainment catering to them then we should be worried. I know there will be women who aren’t crazy tumblr feminists who would like this since it is trying to appeal to young college aged women, but when you look at everything the new direction does it pleases pretty much every aspect of the tumblr community.

In the end I find this highly ironic since feminists always complain about women in comics and video games always having something that distinctively makes them feminine. Feminists seem to be loving this new run which is funny because Batgirl went from being a book about a bad ass woman kicking ass to a feminine stereotypical 21 year old college woman lol.

Wasn’t she crippled by the Joker in the original comics?

Ugh, i shake my head in shame after being a comic book fan (back in the 80s) and seeing it to what it is now. Especially now when everyone is turning female, ghostbusters, Thor, hell i wouldn’t be surprised if a reboot of Swamp Thing becomes female and a feminazi blaming men for world problems as well as pollution.

Actually the feminists haven’t gotten their hands in the comic book industry as much as they want you to think. DC is pretty good bout not pandering, this whole Batgirl thing is kind of their first. Marvel on the other hand will pander left and right to please the feminists. When female Thor was announced they went on talk shows to announce her about 5 months before her debut and went on and on about equality and such. So far female Thor is interesting, but she wil be gone in May as Age of Ultron comes out and Marvel always lets the movies dictates what happens in the books. The fact DC comics is hated by feminists so much shows just how little influence feminists have over them.

Yes she was and she then became Oracle while the Batgirl mantle was passed on to Cassandra Cain and then Stephanie Brown. In the New 52 though it has been retconned where Barbra was shot and paralyzed by the Joker still, but then healed and returned to being Batgirl.

Its okay if ghost busters is like THIS then that will hopefully spark more people to join MGTOW or at least rise up against feminizing media.

If the new Ghostbusters is like Batgirl just imagine how fun it will be. One wakes up hung over an doesn’t remember her one night stand, the other is working as a Ghostbusters while trying to get through college, and take your pick for what the other 2 can be doing lol.

Feminists are in complete denial of their secret worship of the concept of masculinity. Any time they put a feminist twist on something it portrays the female as having more masculine characteristics, especially when it comes to dealing with combat, which they hypocritically condemn if men are the perpetrators.  They are some of the most transparent fakes to ever slither across the face of the earth.

Oddly enough I think DC realized this and wanted a woman on the book to stop feminists from complaining. Gail said she wasn’t fired from the book, but left because of creative differences. My guess it DC told her to make it more woman like to appeal to younger college age women and she said no. I think DC was hoping that a woman writer because even though the tumblr crowd wants a book like this they would never accept it if the creative team was all men. So that is why they probably got a woman artist on the book now.

Then there is another one who is divorcing her husband and stealing all his money
then the last one is just in the back round screaming “YOU GO GIRL YEAH YOU GO!!!” lol
