Sometimes, the internet, bastion of kittens, angst, and human nature at it's worst and best, bands together for some moments of awesome.
Thus far this week, Bud Light heard #NotBuyingIt and decided that they won't keep making more bottle labels that encourage rape culture.
Well more than a year after I started contacting Marvel (and being ignored by Marvel. And Disney.), lots of other people (many of whom have been fighting longer and better than I) have made rallying cries of #WheresBlackWidow and #WheresNatasha.
So, Marvel, now that you can't pretend that just a few of us who object, since the sexism has become so very VERY obvious and called out, the ball is in your court (still).
Do you want female fans to be an included as an important and integral part of the group, or are you content to block them out and cling to your straight-cis-white-males-only narrative?
Because thus far, you've doubled down and plugged your ears and said "la la la la la" and ignored fan feedback and tried to not decide.
It's time to make a choice.
