She has a METAL NIPPLE visible.
Is this an Esher’s girls submission by any chance?
Ugh, utterly unpleasant. And it looked so cool at the beginning with her looking so confident and beautiful.P.S. This is supposed to be Rue, right? Because the number on her shoulder is 5.If it is supposed to be someone else… fuck it, still blurgh, to have a METAL NIPPLE VISIBLE. Why with the sexualization of a minor? What’s wrong with you people?
It’s idiotic to say the least and pervy at worst.

Reblogged it as I saw it. Noticed the hair, and the facepaint and the tech and thought she looked fierce. Haven’t read HG, so no clue about the number. Thought maybe it was a Rollerderby girl. Didn’t notice the nipple. Aside from Burton’s Batman, they don’t seem so weird when I consider lorica.

Honestly, I feel like a creep for noticing but… I am already pretty psyched how much women are sexualized and reading comics, I have already this almost “by default” checking:
“is her spine broken?”“does she posed in but and boobs pose?”“do i see visible nipples trough armor?”“does she have battle bikini”“is she sexualised through supposed to be a minor/underage?”“is she person of colour and sexualized whatever her age is?”
I feel like I AM in the wrong, though the industry is creating these images and normalizing such depiction even in the fan art.
