Definitely. His material was kinda hit and miss in his early stuff, but he's still still genuinely funny. He actually seems like a generally smart dude, too.

That dude is so weird in The League.
It's true, you don't need to know anything about football to enjoy it. It's more so about the concept of a fantasy league.
Interesting article on modern masculinity.

Yeah, WTF Collective 1 and 2 are pretty funny as well.
Oh, goodie, gender tropes. My favorite subject. Yeah, in the past couple of years, I've been steadily affirming myself that traditional perceptions of masculinity and femininity are concepts I'm not very fond of and would be very happy if the world decide to get rid of them.
Great stuff, Mara. Like 8, I've been becoming more and more tired of the "binary genders types" that are still too frequently felt in all corners of society. Perhaps I am being far too much of an optimist, but I hope that this last gasp of hyper-masculinity that the author mentions has manifested in ultraviolence can indeed be that, the beginning of the end of this kind of mentality.
I find it quite interesting that, in many species in the world, the female is the one who is the "hunter" - the larger, fiercer, dominant sex.
wait, so mara has a sister that goes by romantisaurusrex? best family ever?
HippieGirl?
I don't know, I feel like it's a personality trait. It is like putting in an effort to be suave. Unfortunately, my natural state is a moderate caffeine-enhanced spaz. Dealing with an impending 4 hour time frame that decides the next 45 years of my life doesn't help.

The (superhero, since that's obviously what you're referring to even though only half of my regular reads involve superheroes) comics I read now are not centered on either hypermasculinity or hyperfemininity in their main narrative, so it doesn't really matter.
But say that it is, I resolve it by adapting. Same way that I like to imagine a world where guns don't exist even though I am a diehard John Woo fan. What will I do when guns are extinct? I dunno, hope John Woo makes badass chess movies. Who gives a fuck at that point?
