The hypothesis of his post was that the two images he excerpted capture his general stance on an external discussion on the Depiction of Women in Comics, namely that "this is not merely a matter of simply bad and lazy artwork; it's artwork created specifically to portray women as sex objects, using quite frankly, rediculous[sic] poses." I have a minor disagreement with the implication that comic females are any more ridiculously posed than their male counterparts. I have more serious questions about the charge of deliberate sex-objectification of specifically female characters, construed to implicate the print comics industry in general.
Nobody is forcing Eric to substantiate this; to the extent that he mentioned a "discussion" in his LJ post, I made the assumption he wanted to continue that discussion here. The question certainly isn't whether bad and/or objectifying comic art exists: I'm sure both of us could excerpt examples of bad female (and male) comic art until our net connections capitulated under the strain. ^_-
