Too buff for the critics? Or just a little typical?

Like every great author Jon thinks that he's being held down by the man. However, Jon goes a little bit beyond that. For a man who really hates feminists and women in general, he's absolutely dead set on the idea that the reason he can't get published is because his female lead isn't 'conventionally' attractive.

Really Jon? You don't think it could possibly be your terrible writing style, your incapability to spell properly or use correct grammar, complete lack of characterisation, lack of a diverse cast, insufferable political soapbox or your inability to describe anything important in any kind of detail?

No? You still think it's that the male dominated industry just don't like the muscle-building type?

I'll give Jon one thing, he's right in saying that the industry (or industries counting comics) do only want one kind of woman, but I highly doubt that this is the real problem Jon is actually facing. Maybe he'd have more fans if Morgalla was 'conventionally' pretty, but we all know the story and writing would still suck so bad that it would never in a million years get published. So this isn't a primary problem for Jon but I think he likes to mention it so much because he thinks it gives him 'feminist points'.

Every time he points out that Morgalla isn't a 'typical, blonde, big-chested' woman, it feels like he thinks he deserves a cookie or something.


Not to mention he has something odd against Barbie. Then again that's probably because she's the so called 'epitome' of white femininity and she probably reminds him of all the really good looking girls in his life who turned him down.




Don't mess with Barbie; she'll cut you bitch.

He even tries to break down Morgalla's figure but effectively fails. He mentions imagining her to have a gymnasts figure yet draws her with the figure of a body-builder  So which is it Jon? Is she a body-builder or a gymnast, those are two pretty distinct fucking figures that don't really coincide. Not to mention just fighting on a daily basis doesn't make you a body builder. I did karate for five years and my sensei had done it for thirty; he didn't look like Jasper's Hellaids mutation after all those years. To be a body builder you have to weight lift and train, yet Jon makes no specific notes in the book as to either Morgalla's or Jasper's training routine. Jon's contradicted himself; he says Morgalla's figure comes from fighting but you don't get a body-builder figure from fighting- and I know he's going for body-builder because he talks about it so often. So, we have a figure that's inconsistent with her work out routine, but maybe it's in the demons genetics to be that big! Too bad Jon doesn't fucking explain anything.

Jon, you're not doing this because you're liberal or body image positive for women. You're doing this because it's your fetish and you fetishise women. 

P.S. This is a female body-builders figure. 


This is a female gymnasts figure. 

PRETTY BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE JON
