No Female Superheroes
This conversation actually was on another thread early on in the event. I think many came to the conclusion that there just haven't been that many female superheroes in the show. To be honest, it...

Feminist = person who advocates or supports the rights and equality of women. It's that simple and I don't know why that label is being applied here, particularly in a negative tone, like it is something negative to be. Nor is this a PC issue, either. For me, it's an observation of how the event went.
I simply noted that there aren't any female/diverse characters released related to the Superhero event when there are a few to choose from.
When the Moog Moe or Elsa Martin is used instead of actually bringing in ANY other character skins that have been used in the Simpsons related to the Superhero genre is where I really just had to roll my eyes.
All in all though, the comic book genre isn't diverse and perhaps they are holding out Clobber Girl and stretchy boy for the next Halloween release, as they are from a Treehouse of Horror episode. But I really was hoping for Lisa just to show a little backbone, like her "accusatory rhetoric feminist tone" self usually is, turn into Clobber Girl and totally forget Fall Out Boy and Milhouse.
