I think these are the nightmares of Ursula K. LeGuin.

???
not surprised at this I guess...I always thought of myself as average...guess I'm not.

Enquiring minds want to know.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> I'm a chick and I don't find these comics offensive, but I do think they're dull and unimaginative. Certainly someone is happy to read this but it seems like if someone's going to go to the trouble of writing porny comics, why not write something unusual, or something with a real storyline that isn't just "flying around the universe having pervert sex". Is there an adult comic that has a developed storyline, sympathetic characters, and dramatic plot, that also includes adult themes? Those adult themes don't have to just be straight missionary sex - they can and should be pervy too - but I want something that doesn't seem so .. I dunno, ridiculous, as a bunch of sex-starved space dominatrices. This kind of erotic comic just seems very lowest-common-denominator...I'd read erotic/adult comics if they were engaging somehow as well as hot.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> I know it's different. I am a Dominant and apart from my sister I know several submissives.

So I know it's different but would you not agree at all that in the public consciousness these two things are connected? I am to lazy to look through my psychoanalysis books, but all these guys who are so obsessed with normalcy are indeed claiming that the two are connected.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> @ghost: Being a submissive or a Dominant is vastly different than all the stereotypes you get from the media i.e. 'slap their girlfriends/wives once in a while with the girlfriedn/wives not really minding'

I'm a woman and I do find the images from The Great Invasion instantly erotic. It doesn't mean that I'd enjoy being tied up, sold, beaten etc. For example most women do have rape fantasies but that does not mean that they enjoy/want it to happen.

true.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> I'm the type of guy who watches Star Trek hoping that this is the episode where the Borg wins. I get mad when the villain's evil schemes fall flat. That is why I read things like this. The villain finally wins. Yes, that's right, I read vaguely erotic sci-fi porn for the stories. More often than not, these writers are willing to take chances that most "mainstream" works won't take. To me, this kind of thing is nothing more than a B-film with a sex scene somewhere in the middle. (And before anyone brings it up, I do have my limits - no children, no pictures, and no "XXX" nonsense.)

Oh... and a girl who allows her boyfriend to hit her out in public is not a "submissive." She is being abused. The end.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> the artwork, especially in the stiletto pages is meh. I'd like to see more pages of the manning novel. Title page is crap, the 1 page from inside is more promising.

The uncomfortable feeling...well. I as a man feel uncomfortable with that kind of porn. Really uncomfortable. this whole woman = submissive sex slave thing is so all over our culture, adn so many men, hell, friends of mine, consider it normal that they can slap their girlfriends/wives once in a while with the girlfriedn/wives not really minding. I taught a class on Weininger once and it's shocking and ultimately embarrassing, to us, our culture and to everyone among us who just accept these things as "natural", that many of the things seriously warped persons like Weininger wrote, are still, in essence believed by so many and reproduced by our culture. The picture of the submissive woman, I mean, dammit.

so why do some women like this porn? it's a fetish, easy enough. it's not a conscious decision. my sister, who just turned 18 is totally into that kind of stuff and she's baffled.

And as to the ugly men. This is really a minus in mainstream porn. Ugly men. The siffredis are rare in porn or they've become rare. look at a sleazebag like Evan Stone. A major turn-off for me.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> @Jeff-Minor: Although I can see how some women (and men as well) could be disturbed by this material, I do think that there are women who like this type of story. Some women like being dominated, while others like seeing other women dominated. Sexualities can very a great deal.

Anne Rice has actually written a series of books about a woman who has been enslaved, and I would rather doubt that she would write an entire series on the subject if it weren't in some way appealing to her.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> the artwork isn't very good. the last book is slightly better than the black and white ones, but in general its all pretty "meh" . the " great invasion" sounds like a somewhat interesting concept, but as its really just porn it will never attain anything. there's allways " y the last man " .

and heinlens " Farnhams Freehold" . wich i recommend.
about a white 50's family finding themselves in a future where white people are kept as slaves .

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> Why would women like this stuff? This is a real question. This is obviously average male fantasy material, which plays into all sorts of wierd, un-resolved mommy issues. It would be like marketing a graphic novel to women: Men with twelve fat inches holstered on their inner thighs. Every muscle bulging. It's all a freak show.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> @Little Time Bomb: Yeah, I definitely understand your discomfort with these types of comics. And I definitely agree that the female POV doesn't guarantee that women will like it. Thanks for responding!

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> At the comic store I work at we keep these kinds of books in their own special box. We have some younger employees who can't legally sell them Plus they tend to make myself and other female employees uncomfortable. I'm not sure if that unease is down to the subject matter or the demeanor of those (mostly if not all men at our store) purchasing them.
Just because a story is "written from a woman's point of view" doesn't really mean it's meant to appeal to women.

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> @moff: I just checked, and apparently this has been a bug with a few recent galleries... I've logged it and we'll see if it gets fixed soon. Thanks for the heads up!

Charlie Jane Anders

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> Charlie, the gallery links themselves (the "previous," "gallery," and "next" links below the photos once you click on one from the main post) don't seem to be working. Obviously, this is problematic in a post of this nature, because we can't be expected to click all the way back to the main post every time we want to see a new picture of naked ladies. We have no patience when it comes to seeing naked ladies! Or rather, drawings of naked ladies!

]]> <![CDATA[The Naughtiest Dystopian Fetish Comics (NSFW)]]> Nothing says Dystopia quite like a hot babe wrapped in a second skin of black latex!(what?) Interestingly enough, in the bad future, the women are really hot and the men who want them aren't. That's so different than reality.
