I Hate Ultimate Spider-man. Amazing Spider-man Rules.

Another question to be posed. Sometimes, I feel being desentized to blood and gore is a good thing.

Have you ever been in a life or death experience? Panic is the worst thing that can happen, and if you dont panic, or are desensitized to the blood surrounding you, you can be able to help. Such as recently, I sliced my hands open pretty bad (not sure how I can type) and my brother didnt panic upon seeing how mangled they are. Instead he gave me a towel to clutch to help stop the bleeding and helped me sit down then went for my dad and the bandages. It might just depend on a person's personality.

Seriously though, how many gory video games have you played? I love those kind of games, and let me reassure you that no matter how advanced they are, they dont look real. Its on a TV set, in a room, in a house, so therefore it cant be real. Same thing for comicbooks; its a drawing, by males I might add, geared towards todays teenagers. I personally know of no place where you can buy the kind of clothes that obviously disgust you in the comic books. They are drawn/created specifically for that person... though we all have rights to wear what we want, including things that will get frowned upon in normal societies.

Comics have always been on the "cutting edge" of society, in terms of content and atire. It doesn't seem that way sometimes, because the world we're seeing reflected in the comics of yester year are embodying the world 40-50 years ago, when standards were different.

Entertainment takes its ques from the real world...trying its best to provide a realistic representation of people so that potential viewers/readers may be atracted to it by the presence of characters that they can relate to, who seem realistic. To blame entertainment venues for societies' ills will achieve nothing, since entertainment is not the cause. So go ahead, get banned everything of mature content that people may watch or read or play...all the same problems will still be there long afterwards, and you'll be left to hunt down yet another scapegoat.


The entire point of parenting is that you're not going to be able to hold your offspring's hand through their entire life, so you had better do your best to teach them the difference between right and wrong...and more importantly...how to make that distinction for themselves.

Okay, then how about kids who have louses for parents. You know absecent workaholics, whinos, ad just plain abusive, they to will be exposed to these.

Also, being a HUMAN being it is up TO ALL OF US. To make reality better. That is something artists should think about. I am not published or have anything presentible as of yet but, i consider myself an artist.

Then it's the job of the parents to straighten out their own lives so that they have time for their children, in any way they can. It never becomes the job of society or the media to pick up a parent's slack.

Artists have painted and sculpted thousands of nude figures, which are on display in countless public museums, open to people of any/all ages. Should these works be removed and the artists punished, because young people could go to a museum and see images of naked people?

The only duty an artist has is to use his or her skill to take something within him or her self, and give it form on the outside, for all to see (or experience in some way). Some comic artists try to tell visual stories of the lives of young people in today's world, thus the kinds of clothing worn is going to be used, because it is true to form for teenagers today, and that is what the artist was going for. To expect the artist to change that just to suit someone else's whims would be to entirely remove the point from his or her art.

Zach, if you do consider yourself an artist, and plan to persue art in your life/career, you will come to know all too well that your art is meaningless and worthless if you compramise your vision.

basically, if you want drawn that way, then do it yourself.
