Yet all the gender-swapped women are in total cheese-cake poses. Even the damn OBELIXA (or whatever)! Is it really that hard to put a powerful woman in a confident, powerful pose?
(No, I didn't read the article; the pictures pissed me off too much. If this is addressed there, consider me chastised.)

(No, I didn't read the article; the pictures pissed me off too much. If this is addressed there, consider me chastised.) Having skimmed through it, I'm not seeing the pose issue being addressed, and you're right; while I didn't consciously twig to it myself until you mentioned it, it still made me feel like something wasn't quite right with the pics. Which is a shame, because while many of them also feature equally unnecessary cheesecake costume variants (Iron Woman with REPULSOR NIPPLES, for Christ's sake), there are a few that could actually be awesome without those "girly" poses (female Asterix and Obelix are not only correctly proportioned, but they're even wearing slightly more clothing than their male counterparts).

The Asterix & Obelix pic was the least offensive - it was pretty cool, but in the context of the rest of them it was the last straw. Now I've read it, and they do discuss some of the more extreme oddities (like the repulsor nipples), but they don't seem to discuss the, hm, attitude in general. Though to be fair they also seem to treat it very light-heartedly, so I'm not going to bother being pissed aobut it.
