Why. Why do you keep going. Why do you keep insisting on having the last word, on being "right" in a conversation about subjective values.

You can word-vomit all you want, but the thing is, you. Are. Wrong. And not in your opinion of the costume (christ, this is all about a fictional character's costume), because unless an opinion is actually harmful in some way, it's not wrong. It's a subjective value, unable to be quantified in any objective way. Personal taste is just that - personal.

You keep insisting that this design for Spider-Woman is 'objectively' failing at representing a superhero. But the thing is, there are clearly people who do not feel that way. Hell, Marvel didn't feel that way, as they approved the redesign and have continued to use it for the past two years. If they had felt differently, this design would never have seen official print.

If you feel that the design doesn't get the intended idea across, that's fine. Your opinion is valid, and I respect it and your right to express it. Just as my opposite opinion in support of the costume is just as valid. Neither of them are right or wrong outside of ourselves.

It's like saying that someone is wrong for liking a green shirt, because the shirt isn't being used in a specific way to represent some particular idea. Tell me that doesn't sound balls-out ridiculous.

Also, where did this even come from? Nobody attacked your stance on her costume, people only expressed their opinions that they like it. And lo, it devolved into an attempt to pseudo-intellectually prove everyone who liked the costume "wrong". Not to mention that every teacher I had in art school would be having an aneurysm reading through all that justification, especially that little end note.

People like what they like. Unless they're being hurtful in doing so, why crap on their parade?
