Before that, their outfits were either high-fashion casual teen, or trainee outfits of various sorts.

Lol You know that caveat was pretty much written for you...and you also should know that I knew you would comment anyway despite my statement that this wasn't a thing to me.

Yes, I'm aware that their very first outfits were more vogue'ish, however, it took a matter of 'minutes' for artists to settle them into the sexualized school girl trope they're now known for and it stuck...hence the fig design.

A week or two back you took issue with a joke made that sexualized them. It felt a bit extra IMO because these characters have always been sexualized and the animus generated might be more appropriately aimed at Marvel rather than someone just picking up on what the publisher established...'nah mean?

This is also why I believe it to be odd that there's shame felt when purchasing them. We all know the deal with the sexy school girl trope...if you feel pervy buying them now that they've received a Legends berth, then ya' should have felt pervy reading stories featuring them as well...
