>even the CBR posters are mad with the retcon in the last issue of Mockingbird
>>
The problem with the retcon is that Mockingbird fucking dropped the guy to his death. When she was drugged and raped by him, that made sense. Since it was an accident that helped because she lashed out.

But if she wasn't drugged and raped, just had a fling, then why did she accidentally killed the guy? Just to cover the betrayal?

Also, the drug made her be fall in love, so even if the character really believe she just had sex, we can't trust her POV, since it is a POV born out of drug.
>>
Did Marvel really put out another comic where one of their prominent female characters get raped?
>>
What happened? I have sense enough to avoid Mockingbird, so I'm out of the loop.
>>
>mockingbird

>>
so she cheated on Clint then killed the guy because?
>>
>>87116157

Okay now hold on, let me think about this.

My understanding of the continuity - if I might laughably call it that - it went like this:

Mockingbird gets replaced by a Skrull. The skrull gets raped, murders the rapist, and then dies. She goes to hell for murdering the guy, still thinking that she's Mockingbird, and later gets brought back to life briefly by the Scarlet Witch before dying again and going back to hell.

Then the real Mockingbird returns from space where she was being held by skrulls the whole time, and now she was actually dating the guy who the skrull raped? Is that how it works?
>>

Did Mockingbird drug and rape someone or something?

>>87116360
She was drugged and raped by Phantom Rider and ended up letting him fall to his presumed death as revenge, which caused a rift between her and Clint that lead to their divorce

The retcon is that she was never drugged, actively cheated on Clint, and considers Phantom Rider a "skeezy ex" because she always makes her own decisions and is therefore incapable of being drugged or raped ever because those are apparently choices the victim makes themselves now
>>
Who the fuck even likes Mockingbird anyway?

>The retcon is that she was never drugged, actively cheated on Clint, and considers Phantom Rider a "skeezy ex" because she always makes her own decisions and is therefore incapable of being drugged or raped ever because those are apparently choices the victim makes themselves now

And also she let the guy die for reasons.

Congrats, Chelsea, she her own choices and didn't get raped. Instead she willingly cheated on Clint then let the guy she cheated with die. A scumbag instead.
>>
>>87116548
The new version is worse to us, but to the writer and (some) feminists, it is better because it shows she made all the choices herself. It doesn't matter that they were shitty choices (cheating), just that she empowered herself.

No, I think the thing that McCann did with accounting for the Skrull is that the Phantom Rider stuff happened to Bobbi, but then the Skrull version of her was the one who divorced Clint.
>>
>@TealBaum: @ChelseaCain so Bobbi was saying she gave her consent to the ghost guy way back when and Clint just didn't want to believe it?

>@ChelseaCain: @TealBaum Yep. Wanted to draw attention to the fact that we've only heard these stories from a male POV. Which is really the problem.

"Male POV". Pretty sure the entire fallout was from both Hawkeye and Mockingbirds pov

Has the writer come out and said why she let Phantom Rider die, then?
>>
>>87116608
So it's officially confirmed by the writer that it's not a misinterpretation, but Mockingbird actually did cheat and then murdered the guy who she cheated with to cover it up or because she changed her mind afterwards.

This just keeps getting better.

>>87116058
This entire comic sounds like it was an absolute shitshow. How the lack so much self-awareness that you don't realize that the retcon you did to empower your character just turned her into a psychopath and possibly a murderer? And then she thinks this makes her writing important? What?
>>
See, the problem is that the Phantom Rider gave Mockingbird a drug that made her fall in love with him.

So if Mockingbird believe that she was never drugged and that she had sex with the Phantom Rider willingly, that's probably because the drug did its job perfectly since the drug purpose was to make her believe she really loved the guy.
>>
>>87116626
Again making it all about the male... Fuck you.

But Cain, the criticism isn't about you changing her canon. It's about you changing the canon to turn her into a complete asshole.

What's all this point of view shit she's talking about supposed to mean?
>>
>>87116502
Don't forget everything works out for her due to no actions she herself made. She calls in a bunch of normal nerds to help her, putting them in incredible danger, and then things go cartoonishly bad for the villain. The horse his soul is bound to rides off because some guy talked to it. He summons zombie pirates, who turn out to be feminists. He, a phantom, just decides not to hurt any one, and is magically destroyed when touching water, for some reason?

Oh, and she falls into the ocean and is rescued by merpups. And is taken to a resort island.

apparently the old stories were inherently told from Mens POV because fuck comic book history its always been anti women,
>>
>>87116700
I think--from writer comments/letters pages--that the 'high concept' of the book is "This is Bobbi's power fantasy/a female wish fulfillment book, and so the guys are always hot and shirtless, she always wins, she makes all the choices", but it comes across as just being the girl version of "Christ, what an asshole".

Which for some kinds of feminism is a-ok because female choice is paramount; for other kinds, this is going to get the stinkeye.
>>
>>87116723
So from a woman's point of view being drugged and then fucked isn't rape but a romantic night out?

You're forgetting the fact that the drug the Phantom Rider gave Mockingbird made her fall in love with him, so her saying she did everything willingly with the guy holds no wight whatsoever. Her thinking was influenced by the drug and might still be.

Her FEMALE POV is faulty thanks to love potions.

>Wow.

>Maybe that story wasn't a great idea in the first place--there are too many stories of female heroes being raped and otherwise sexually victimized. That is certainly true. But that doesn't mean that its a good idea to just throw it out with a single line of dialogue. Leaving aside the fact that it is ridiculously disrespectful to the work of a previous writer (and whatever one may think of Englehart's Phantom Rider/rape storyline, his use of Bobbi in his WCA run both before, during and after that arc is a HUGE part of Mockingbird having the fanbase she does today), it also retcons far more than that one arc. The fallout of that situation extended way beyond Englehart's original story. We're now also retconning Jim McCann's HAWKEYE & MOCKINGBIRD series, since it also dealt with the Phantom Rider legacy.

>And I just don't understand how Cain can't see how this idea does serious damage to Bobbi's character. Hooray, she isn't a rape survivor anymore--instead she is a lying, manipulative adultress who is also a cold blooded murderer. Gee, that's SO much better.

>I absolutely loved this series....but I just have to ignore that one scene from the final issue, otherwise it will sour the entire thing for me. I know Cain loves Bobbi so I'm sure she had the best of intentions here, but the result is truly disgusting.

So it's no longer that she was raped and abused by this piece of shit, she just murders him for reasons? And then divorces Hawkeye because he blatantly disagreed with her cheating on him AND just straight up murdering this dude in the 1st degree? And he's the bad guy and hypocrite?

Yeah, good portrayal of female empowerment there Chelsea Cain. Fucking crazy hack.

So, she cheated on her husband, killed the guy, lied about it for years and called the guy a rapist, and now she's admitting it was consensual?

This is like one of those news stories where a man is in jail for 20 years for rape until his accuser admits she lied, and then wants to be friends with him. EXCEPT THE GUY IS DEAD.

It can change PERCEPTION of a sequence of events but that is different and should be expressed as such, which the comic fails to do.

If Cain wanted to do a "Bobbi's all fucked up." story she should have made that clearer to the reader instead of acting like this was the new way and brilliant and why aren't you praising her more.

Anne Rice was correct
if we go by leftist logic, no one should write any characters that they can't immediately identify with... which is retarded
if you take the identify politics people to their logic conclusion, low-class white males from NYC should write stories depicting only low-class white males from NYC. which is absurd.
Anne Rice, again, was correct: fiction is at its very essence an exercise of stretching our minds.

>>
>>87118137
I'm gonna go ahead and add in Anne Rice's full quote:

"Signing off with thanks to all who have participated in our discussions of fiction writing today. I want to leave you with this thought: I think we are facing a new era of censorship, in the name of political correctness. There are forces at work in the book world that want to control fiction writing in terms of who “has a right” to write about what. Some even advocate the out and out censorship of older works using words we now deem wholly unacceptable. Some are critical of novels involving rape. Some argue that white novelists have no right to write about people of color; and Christians should not write novels involving Jews or topics involving Jews. I think all this is dangerous. I think we have to stand up for the freedom of fiction writers to write what they want to write, no matter how offensive it might be to some one else. We must stand up for fiction as a place where transgressive behavior and ideas can be explored. We must stand up for freedom in the arts. I think we have to be willing to stand up for the despised. It is always a matter of personal choice whether one buys or reads a book. No one can make you do it. But internet campaigns to destroy authors accused of inappropriate subject matter or attitudes are dangerous to us all. That’s my take on it. Ignore what you find offensive. Or talk about it in a substantive way. But don’t set out to censor it, or destroy the career of the offending author."

How oddly pertinent to Mockingbird now.
>>
>>87118175

>>
>>87118109

Cain literally said that everything in the comic is from Bobbi's skewed POV.

>>87118137

Way to jump to conclusions. I was saying that a female novelist in 2012 has a different view that a dude who grew up in the comics industry in the 50/60s.
>>
>>87118210
I'm not jumping to conclusions, I'm pointing out the logical conclusion of that line of thought. Of course a female novelist born in 1990 has a different perspective than a male novelist born in 1930, but the problem is the people involved in identity politics don't know how to apply the brakes.
It has literally reached a point where modern Jewish reader tell modern non-Jewish writers that they are evil for writing in Jewish characters; or black readers to start an Internet hate campaign against white writers for the sin of simply including a black character in their fiction.
>>
Who cares? Mockingbird will spend the next five years in the background of crowd shots and when her name comes up in Marvel's wacky wheel of on-goings, this entire run won't even be acknowledged by the new writer.

So Bobbi's still a rape victim, because the Phantom Rider gave her a love potion that made her fall in love with him.

So if Bobbi believes herself that she cheated Clint out of her own volition, since she had sex with the Phantom Rider because she at the time loved him, she believes that because the love potion her think that way.

>>87116058
Remember, I said in the other thread from a few days ago that this was exactly what was going on. Some idiot kept trying to go "NUH UH, BOBBI IS JUST BEING CRAZY" or trying to say that it was being misinterpreted.

But no, Chelsea thought Mockingbird being a rape victim was problematic and thus it was better to turn her into a complete piece of shit who caused untold emotional distress to her husband and friends via being unfaithful because "I'M A BIG GIRL I MAKE MY OWN CHOICES AND DEAL WITH MY OWN CONSEQUENCES*!"

*She does not actually do that part.

>>87116203
The final issue of Mockingbird involved Carter Slade coming back to bedevil her. Infamously, West Coast Avengers, Slade drugged/brainwashed Mockingbird and raped her because he was obsessed with her. The trauma of this had long reaching effects for her and Hawkeye and led to the eventual dissolution of their marriage. Cain did not like the idea of Mockingbird being raped and decided to retcon it by having Bobbi state that she willingly had an affair with Slade and that the "rape" was Hawkeye's defense mechanism because he couldn't accept that his wife was cheating on him.

Bobbi is supposed to be the strong, empowered woman in this new scenario.

What frustrates me is that we see so many examples of this time and time again. And then everyone says "WELL NOT ALL WIMMIN"


I'm just like, dude, yeah, not all women are like that but goddamn are a lot of them like it. They truly do act childish. Ever notice when you argue with them and make a good point that they absolutely CAN'T refute, they'll just resort to name calling and other shit that doesn't refute your points? I'm not saying guys don't do it either, but it always feels like it's easier to get a guy to agree with your points, especially if you have shit that backs it up. But with most women, you might as well be talking to a brick wall.

This is especially apparent when women are caught cheating. They make up all sorts of shit to justify their actions and no matter what you say to them, they won't concede that they were 100% in the wrong. Video related to this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cwQVHQ5wSY the girl in the video talks about how she was "depressed" which is why she cheated. It's a laughable excuse and it's clearly meant to make her unaccountable for her actions and make it seem like she had no control over what she was doing.
>>
>>87120019
She turned is saying Phantom's death is justified because the Rider killed some people and was stalking Mocking Bird. She doesn't understand the idea of a "no kill rule" and what it means for a character.

Everyone in the Batfam has the same no kill rule, because of "much slippery slope". That is the Justification for why no one has killed the joker, hell a super hero killing the Joker is the basis of Kingdom Come and Injustice.

So, her not understanding why Bobbi's letting a villain die is a big deal for the character, combined with what would seem like apparent praise (I hope you get to write one of DCs biggest female characters), she would tweet back thanks, not getting that Batwoman killing the Joker would make her a a terrible person.

I mean that's a no-prize way of retconning the retcon but there's no two ways about it. The writer outright stated that she retconned out the rape. She did not take your approach to it, what was said on the page is exactly what the author intended to convey.

What's gonna make you feel stronger and more empowered than killing someone, though?
I mean, that's one of the big motivations for serial killers, isn't it? The rush of power you get as you watch the life slowly drain out of your victim's eyes?

>This is especially apparent when women are caught cheating
I've had friends cheated on and they only found out via "hacking into" lmao their facebooks/whatever because they knew something was up and found the proof for themselves.

The worst part is, it could've been a decent story and a riff on "rape and revenge" genre, had the writer been an intelligent person writing MC as a villain instead of a feminist triggered by rape and retconning it in the dumbest manner possible while pretending that MC is a good person.

According the FBI, who collects all sorts of data and compiles it for the rest of the US government, more than 90% of all rape accusations are FALSE.

That's the FBI. Sure, they could be full of shit, but it seems that rape accusers are usually doing it to cover their own ass about something they did and is not inconvenient for them or to get revenge (female form of "SWATTING"). Again, the FBI.

So learn. Maybe outside the US is a different story. In the US? The vast majority of the men the police investigate for rape turn out to be innocent of the charge. But it still destroys their life just getting accused of it. Which is why it is a favorite female "SWAT".

I don't know the writer, I have no opinion about her other than that she clearly has no skill and doesn't know the character she's writing.

i dont think so

but probably not for the reasons the writer did so

i think she believed this retcon """empowered""" bobbi

to me it humanizes her in a way that it reflects how women can be irl: lying, manipulating sociopaths . and i bring up again the stuff in Silk, in which she is written to endanger a young aspiring hero on a way that is fairly reckless. or how in that civil war 2 issue she actually causes a prison break and refuses to take responsibility for it

its a dark turn for her char but not something that is necessarily bad

>trickle truth, alpha fucks/beta bucks
There was no need to "come clean" thirty years ago. All that was necessary was for her to try to emotionally manipulate Clint in to believing her (Because why WOULDN'T you? Do you hate me?!?)

Now thirty years later (I know it's not 30 years in universe and I know Clint isn't involved right now) Clint/"the man," who has been legitimately wondering if he threw his marriage away because he trusted the wrong person, finds out that he was played like a fucking fiddle.

And what a surprise that she cheats with a "skeezy/hinky" guy. This shit feels like Marvel is actively trying to bait low value men.....oh wait. They fucking are.

It's equivalent exchange. In order to get rid of one rape, you must enact another rape.

It all makes absolutely zero sense. If she wasn't drugged (with an "indian love potion" btw) why the hell did she, after leaving the Phantom Rider, turn right around and chase PR down and confront him? Before now it was to "bring him to justice" for kidnapping/drugging, but if that never happened, what the hell was going on?

It doesn't really matter, though, I learned years ago to not even try to make Marvel continuity add up.

What is with comics and giving the female characters free passes? The opening page of the book is Bobbi shrugging off that she killed a guy which now proves that she cheated with.

The only agenda marvel has is making money though, and with the clickbait generation it's easier to get attention through controversy that storytelling. And the easiest targets are insecure men and women who value the Internet and fiction more than reality and are quick to tell all of social media how angry they are at said fictional characters because it's easier than facing their real issues. And that's how C-list characters and writers can now get attention with minimal effort.

Until that group is forced to improve themselves and stop acting like fictional characters are real, writers and companies like this will exploit them.

8 is not 400% higher than 2. It's also not becoming to rely on framing effects to make your point. By the same token, a 92% accuracy rate sounds pretty good.

It's idle speculation that "the actual number is guaranteed to be higher." I have no doubt that a certain sort of person would argue that the number is definitely lower because of bias in police departments. Until someone produces some actual data, I don't have any interest in the political narrative du jour.
