Dora the Sexy Explorer
When Mattel and Nickelodeon revealed a silhouette of the new Dora in March, many parents were upset. Unlike the old Dora, the new Dora is aimed at girls from five to tween. Many parents thought the older Dora was a sexed-up version of the younger Dora.
Hello. Has anyone noticed how women are drawn in comic books? The girls in comics make the new Dora look like a prude. I know, comic books are targeted at older kids, but the graphics at the bottom is an example of the type of comics my five year old son checks out from the kids section at the library.
Funny thing is, I didn’t notice how curvy the women superheroes were drawn when I was a kid. All I cared about was the guys’ super powers and their super cool costumes. I think I must have been gay when I was a boy.

At least look at the “artwork.”
you’re right the drawings in comic books are too sexy for kid’s viewing, i wouldn’t want my five-year old reading comics like that! funny saying that you must have been gay then! :-)
How else could I not notice those boobs? They’re practically falling out.
Their breasts are not big enough.
Ok thanks for that illustration… How do these superhero ladies balance AND keep it all tucked in?
I agree. The breasts should be bigger…so they can be more realistic.
Funny! I always wanted to be Wonder Woman when i was little.
And I think whoever came up with the new and improved sexy Dora should be strung up by their toenails. Little girls have enough sex shoved in their faces as it is. OK now stepping down off of the soap box……

Wonderwoman? It’s the outfit, right?
Ooo, is that ZATANA? My husband wants to name our daughter that, if we ever have one.
I think the one with the top hat is Zatana. How the heck do you know Zatana?
Mmm, I don’t see it. The appeal of Dora, that is.

I don’t get it either. I don’t see my eight year old wanting a Dora backpack or doll.
No wonder I always wanted to be a superhero!!

Their figures must be a side effect of their super powers.
you THINK that’s why you were reading the comics.

I don’t think anyone looks like her in real life. What a shame.
Sexy Dora? That is SO WRONG! Whew, guess we left the Dora stage just in time! (However, I have a 2-yr-old niece that’s in love with everything Dora.)

We get a game magazine with some comics in it delivered to our house every month. Before the boys can touch it, I tear out the pages where the comic girls look like that. They don’t mind. The other day I heard my 7 year old tearing out a page. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he thought one of the pages was inappropriate. “Awesome, Ryan”!

You would have to be sick to find Dora even attractive. And men are depicted as just as ‘exploitive’ as women in comics, it’s just everyone kicks up a bigger fuss.
Am I the only one who missed Freud’s Latent Phase? (I think Freud was a little crazy, but he’d think that I am, since he believes himself.) I remember being attracted to women from around 3 and not stopping, though I now seem more subdued than most guys my age (and a couple decades older… and younger than me). Due to all of this, I find little kids who believe in cootie germs to be the funniest thing. I still like to joke about it today.
I think one can’t be sure of what the silhouette depicts, so becoming upset is ridiculous. I know that it’s revealed by the time I’m writing this comment, but before I saw her, I was thinking, “For all we know, that’s not a miniskirt and bare legs. Maybe she’s wearing pants under it like all those trends, or maybe it’s a long shirt.”
Whats The Name Of The One In The Middle.?!?! Not The One With The Hat The Other One.! With Golden Cloeth.!?!?!?!
Her name is Vixen. She has the power of the animal of her choosing.
