Soggy Smog's Soggy Show

I use computers a lot and I don’t think this is paradoxical given my scrutiny of social technology. Having unlimited access to information has changed our world in a lot of positive ways–but also negative ones–and I think about those things very critically. I don’t think of technology as a black-and-white thing– I know its role in our lives is constantly changing and that it is up to us to know when things are serving us or not. I think it’s great that people have had so much access to our music and to my film work via the Internet . Unfortunately I think a lot more people spend time emotionally cutting and living out some “allegory of the cave” on the computer in general. As a woman navigating through a modern world of representation and heightened voyeurism, I think the most feminist thing I can do is create my own images and words to add to this context. I need to create things for the world I want to live in.

An Interview with the Batgirl of the SDCC panels

You fucking go, girl

dcwomenkickingass:

There were lots of stories that came out of SDCC this year, but the one that has caught the attention of the comics community was a woman who dressed up as Batgirl to ask questions about female characters and creators at several DC Comics’ panels. I first became aware of her questions while following the live feeds of Newsarama and CBR. If you read this blog you know I have many of the same concerns she has. After seeing the reaction of some attendees and reporters about how her questions and those of others regarding female characters and creators were being handled, I compiled a post of that coverage.

That post has now become the most viewed ever for this blog. Her appearances at the panels has also generated other blog posts and many comments. She’s been called everything from a hero to a bully. But now for the first time we can hear from her.

Yesterday I caught up with Kyrax2, the “Batgirl woman” as she has become known, to find out more about what drove her to ask these questions and her thoughts on the reactions she received.
