I don't really listen to many comics podcasts, since discussing a visual medium on an audio medium doesn't really work too well unless you have *really* good hosts, and, shockingly, comics fans are generally not very interesting to listen talk to each other.

A good comics podcast would be one that goes into a deep dive about the history of the comics industry, biographical looks at different artists and writers, or talking about insane old stories and characters with an in depth look at different subtexts. There was a batman history podcast that tried this for batman, but was just one host talking and as the other lists issue appearances of characters. I listen to a lot of podcasts. 😁

Like how every time someone has an accent the author writes it out in the broadest stereotypical way possible. Also the comic is pre-Code and I can definitely see some points where having restrictions might have been better, like a panel showing a little girl getting murdered by being hit in the head with a hammer. The panel itself isn't really graphic but is still fairly upsetting.

The New Avengers lead by Luke Cage was a pretty good team; probably would have been my dream team as a kid. I wish they did more with them.

I got irritated with Jay & Miles' style and stopped listening to it, but it was actually a very good substitute for reading years upon years of X-Men comics.

That whole 2004-2010 New Avengers series was Marvel's flagship book at the time, and it was so much fun. I especially loved the post-Civil War/Secret Invasion/Dark Reign era, where the Avengers were mostly outlaws on the run, trying to stay under the radar, clear their names, but still do good. Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Hawkeye/Ronin, Mockingbird, Echo, Spider-Woman, BuckyCap, and Dr. Strange made a hell of a lineup.

I meet Phil at a shop once where he was doing a signing. Surprised the hell out of him when I asked him to sign a copy of the Atheist.

I put irl superhero clothing stuff (e: Like Valentino's WW fashion line and Hot Topic/DC colabs, not cosplay) in the costume thread. That seemed to be fine.

To-do lists for normal human beings will often include things like handling laundry and washing their car, this shirt has humorously subverted that common fact of life with "super heroic" versions of everyday activities, contrasted with outlandish activities exclusive to superheros such as saving the world. Hope that helps.

I just find the "girls do girl chores" thing more systematically oppressive and dumb than the girlfriend one because, I dunno, that seems logical at least on some level. Batgirl exists but she's not big in mainstream culture so when you're making this merch for fans of a character to whom the adage "girls want to be with him, guys want to be him" applies, I can see how that would arise. It's still pretty bad, but like, I can see it. This one almost feels like you'd have to be intentionally sexist to come up with it.

I get this argument, you're right, Batgirl using a batcycle is iconic enough they could have put that on the shirt instead. And yeah laundry is a stereotypical woman's chore but it's a pretty far jump from that reasonable argument to "this shirt for literal toddlers is sexualizing the act of car washing like an 80s music video". Although given the rap sheet of the person making that claim maybe it's not so shocking that their mind went there first.

People do that poo poo with kid's clothes all the time, it's a known thing. I was joking about that part anyway, though, and elaborated on my feelings about it vs the previous shirt in the other post. I don't like coming off as using "I was joking" as an excuse a lot, but geez, goons sure are a humorless bunch.

I did the "what if it was a boy instead" thing and the shirt would be exactly the same if it said Batman instead, so it doesn't read as intentionally sexist to me. It honestly reads like there's a version that does say Batman instead, and they just did a quick word-swap and printed it on a pink shirt. They hosed up because nobody thought to check if Batgirl has a car of her own, so now it's carrying unintended baggage.

Hard to say if it's intentional (In this case, I'm inclined to think it isn't,) but it's definitely easy to read it as sexist. I agree that the main offender is the Batmobile, though I wonder if most of the people casually looking at that in a store are going to know that Batgirl's never had a Batmobile. I would conclude that it's an unfortunate confluence of details. If it wasn't pink, or replaced one of the domestic (read: stereotypically feminine) tasks with something else, it probably wouldn't raise the red flag. It's not indefensible by any stretch, but I can see how it could be problematic.
