Aw. Aw. Allison was gonna segue into a really interesting thing!
Sigh. Hulk hair. I'll allow it. But I strongly endorse the prospect of an Allison-penned Joss thread, because I'm curious as all hell.
I for one didn't notice the hair we're apparently talking about. Was he hairy?
Allison, thanks for the posts. I understand you being tired of this (ongoing, worldwide) conversation.
For the idiots like myself, could you summarize your view on the subject before moving on? Is it basically "yep, a lot of this shit is sexist, some of it isn't, and the bigger problem is communicating why it's the case to folks who don't understand?"
This conversation seems to be drifting pretty deeply into abstractions, and, seeing as how the tight outfit Scarlett wears in Avengers could in one shot be used in a titillating way and in another just be what she's wearing while she walks around in the background, it may be that we need to go over the movie shot by shot to see if any particular pose is "sexist."
So in the interest of understanding each other better in this wider conversation we're apparently having, I have some questions.
Mike, I'd be really interested to hear what you think would be equivalently sexist towards men? If we're colloquially using "sexist" to mean "deeply demeaning," it seems as if a useless sex object would be the female embodiment, and a dumb pretty boy without agency would be the male, yeah? Or not?
Zarban, you've been approaching this from the standpoint of "sexism as gender bigotry," not sexual objectification per se. Can you think of a relevant example of what you would call male sexism and female sexism, in that case?
Drew, to what degree do you think an exploitative use of T&A on a movie poster is actually sexist?
I have literally never heard of any of those things.
I love this thread.
Y'all know how I feel about this, it was my contribution at the top of the third anniversary episode. I'm a big fan of this place.
There's some. downinfront.net/geekza.
Wow, super cool. I even made an account and made two edits! (Geekza in 2006, and changed pause point to unpause point, which is what we more typically say.)
I've never edited Wiki stuff before. It's fun.
Hooooooooolden?
Well, as long as Larry doesn't, you know, listen to him. Sounds cool.
Owen, thanks for inspiring me to get off my ass and check out Hollywood Babble-On. I live in LA, so I'm one of the lucky ones who get to know Ralph from the radio show first.
Low key and funny. I like it.
I love this guy.
Also, my birth month would be a palindrome. I approve.
Welcome, TheDu! Great first post!
I'm still curious to see an expanded version of the sexualism-in-comics discussion, that TheDu started up. How do you guys feel about it?
For reference, that conversation starts at around 2:05:30 in the NTSC download.
Wow. I read every single one of those entries, and wow.
I'm so psyched. I think the first-Jake and first-Anthony are currently missing, which I think are The Mist (or Hulk?) and Spider-Man, respectively.
So cool. Thanks Doc.
EDIT: I was wrong about all of that. Damn you're thorough. Well played.
Here's an odd one: as this progresses, and folks are listening to episodes again, please send me an email at the DIF email address if something particularly offensive or on-the-line gets said. I know, for instance, there's at least a couple instances of the n-word popping up in conversation in our 170 commentary episodes, and I'd like to be able to go back into the MP3s and take a second chance to judge whether or not that belongs in the discussion.
Things like that. So, what episode it is, and a timecode for when such a thing happens.
I don't think there's much to be found, but if we're ever going to get some sort of a sponsorship, that's the kind of shit that would break the deal in a heartbeat, and the process of combing through episodes just to find them sounds daunting. So as long as folks are gonna be fiddling with this stuff anyway, I'd appreciate it.
Also, I am excite. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
Doc is President of the Wiki, Jimmy is the COO. Drew is CEO.
Next person gets to work in the mailroom.
I don't know what's going on, but if anyone needs anything in terms of assets or whatever, feel free to ask.
Doctor Submarine is your master now.
Doc, the responsibility for getting folks to help make it happen is entirely yours to give to someone else. Make a thread or somethin.' 
Yeah. Shit happens fast around here. Watch yo mouf.
If you volunteer to spearhead the project, I'll promote you from Fake Physician in a fake heartbeat.
Wow.
Well, the movie doesn't bother me, but seriously well said. You raise a lot of good points quite well.
I love this forum.
Edit: This thread spends a couple of pages devolving into a conversation about sexism. If you're so inclined, the tangent in the commentary that instigated this begins at 2:05:30 in the NTSC MP3.
Yeah, I don't really have any dealbreaker media. CP, I guess.
An update indeed!
As of yesterday, I have officially fallen on my sword having failed everyone, and given all of the materials to Ewing to edit and release.
Sorry everyone. My projects are bad and I feel bad.
Ewing's fault now!
Aw.
Well, different strokes. Sorry 'bout that.
I don't know anything about Wikis, but it sounds nice. I'd still rather be on the real one, though.
