Yeah, that sucks. However, if you pay a little more online, you can sidestep both judgement/shame and aggravation.

The more I think about this, the more I'm left wondering where was the fear of judgement/tacit embarrassment when the characters were introduced in the comics? There was no mistaking that they were shameless American versions of the same sexually objectified Japanese school girl trope.

Now before anyone rushes to rationalize/intellectualize an answer...know that I don't care. I'm half serious and opining on what may, or may not represent a schism between fandom and the often ballyhooed progressive values of today.

I've never really cared for the characters. Not merely because I noted the obvious (to me, at least) sexism from the start, but mostly because I've never been a fan of clone story-devices...
