mushroomsandteeth:mushroomsandteeth:eabevella:mushroomsandteeth:marvel-dc-art:Web of Venom: Carnage Born #1 (2018)pencil & ink by Danilo Beyrithcolor by Chris PeterSo… why the hell did he think Scorn was evil and willing to do tHiS!?! Did he not read anything about her? Did he know who she was? I literally have only read ONE BOOK that had Scorn in it and I can tell you that 1. She would not help Carnage do anything 2. Definitely wouldn’t help summon an evil god. She is a reasonable woman who had a very strong head on her shoulders. Most people when they first get a symbiote have some sort of breakdown. Patrick Mulligan freaked out, left his family only to stalk them like a creeper, Mac thought it was a good idea to bite a man’s arm off, Eddie’s obsession killing spider-man. They all dive into either irrational behavior for a bit or over indulgent behavior. Tanis doesn’t do that. She remains calm whenever she uses her symbiote even though the first one she got stuck with and had a mental battle from within was Red. She gets the scorn symbiote and is calm and in control the whole time. A woman who can do that would not change to bowing down to Carnage so quickly. Normally when Cates makes a decision in his writing I can see where he is coming from, I rarely agree with it and a lot of times are for purely selfish reasons but they at least make sense. This makes no sense unless he just knew nothing about Scorn and thought that she was such a minor character it didn’t matter how he wrote her and could just puzzle piece her into his story to fit whatever plot need he had. Treat your female characters with more respect.Because cates hates women and apparently he said he was going through divorce and writing all the venom stuffs is a way to cope, and all the very few women in his venom related works are either dead or never exist. They say you call see a writer’s heart through their writing. Huh.I didn’t want to say it cus I’m a coward but ya said it and its true. This is honestly why I didn’t say it the first time and the more I think about it the more I think this isn’t done actively. We got the information that he was using the series to work through his addiction and divorce uses at a panel he was interviewed at. So its obviously why women get treated like they do in his series. I don’t he goes around though going “fuck all women” I think like most hatred it comes in much more subtlety and he might not even be aware he is doing it. Its a matter of carelessness. Writing without stepping back and looking at the themes that you are presenting. This happened to women in media a lot because of their long history of being objectified and used instead of being treated as people. I think Cates just fell into a bad habit of male writers when he was going through his issues. Is that ok? No. It is a matter of the subconscious. Cates might hate or resent women but not actively. The writing though in this series in particular definitely is not kind to women. Cates might not even realize his hateful themes. He might think he loves women but has underlying resentments towards them. I’m not the man’s psychiatrist so I can’t actually say. Tldr: Cates admitted to using this series to work through issues he had with a woman, the writing towards women in this series is hateful, Cates may or may not realize his writing is hateful and may or may not resent women (though it points to may). That doesn’t chance the fact though that the way the women in this series are treated is terrible. Two women in his Venom-related comics so far. One is killed in a horrible way, the other is written into non-existence. Until the day Cates finally writes one (1) not-killed-in-a-horrible-way and not-written-into-a-mere-illusion woman in his Venom comics then I’ll maybe take back my word about his women hating writing. -- source link
