I normally don't pay attention to media news; but while looking at some information about the upcoming King's Quest game I stumbled across this article here: http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/5/8552979/avengers-black-widow-slut-shaming-jeremy-renner
This is an opinion piece; but I share the writer's opinion so I thought I'd link to it. Boiled down to its essence, its another case of a female character being judged harshly for the mere suggestion of attraction to male characters while the overall universe celebrates the overtly promiscuous tendencies of its male characters.
Come on. This is the 21st century. We can do better than this. We can start to break down the whole Madonna/Whore complex that Western civilization carries around its neck like a millstone.
