I’m confused, is he saying that he doesn’t avert his eyes, he just sees everyone as a total babe?
HoneNathan
So, did he turn him into a her? Or just start looking at a different woman?

Following the Cyclops meme, it's MALE GAZES, FROM THE MALE GAZE DIMENSION!

How 'bout the male gays?

So that's what people mean by "screwing each other"?!

The funniest thing to me about the crazy fucking faces in Baki is that the artist actually just kind of looks like that IRL.

I think that just means you're pansexual and horny.

I still think it's weird that the women gays have a special word yet the males gays don't

Look at me with your special eyes

These ones were actually gorilla glasses at a zoo I think but same principle.
AlexanderElcazorro
Wait. Are we talking an X-men style cyclops, but his eye beams turn you into a cute, attractive woman? Where do I find this man?!
FluffySquirrell
Hey, get in line!
firehawkcultist
While I thought that was what the joke was initially, another commented that the girl was really a girl but the glasses were letting him see her as a guy until they broke
starwingcorona
I think the joke's that's actually a dude but Shen sees everything as sexy girls without the visor.

An old job had a booth at the local Pride and I always liked going as a worker. My buddy who was recently out of the Army and happy to spend a day out of the office and sans office clothes.
He quickly regretted wearing a tank top as he finally learned the effect of the male gaze.
aQuantumofAnarchy
I might be mistaken here, but I think what you're describing isn't the male gaze. Rather it's a part of feminist criticism of media: the claim that media is constructed assuming a heterosexual male viewer and what pleases him. That's why the bro in the civic turned into a stereotypically hot girl when exposed to the male gaze. It's not about the effects of being leered at.
JustSomePersonThere
Well said! I love good media literacy
PrincessProfanity
As a woman I understand the desire to limit the definition to its original intent, but as a bisexual it's feels like I'm being left out lol

As a bi woman I honestly feel the original meaning of the male gaze pretty hard and it is a *strange* feeling. Like I'll consume media and be like "these hot women aren't for me to look at; the intent of this media is that *I* am looked at, and do not look" and that is a WEIRD mindfuck.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
You are correct. They are just describing people checking someone out that they find attractive. The 'male gaze' really only has to do with how works of art depict women as sexual objects to pander to a 'hetero male' audience. That's it. I think loads of people confuse the meaning and misattribute it as being any guy lusting after somebody they find attractive and that's not accurate.
IxnayOnTheOttenRay
Oh yeah! Dat's me! Hooray for clarification!
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Happy to be here for you! Honestly, I was in the same boat when I first heard it. The title 'male gaze' is a bit misleading and it's really just another name for the 'male power fantasy' but only about how it depicts women inside of such stories.
Temzilla
Easy mistake, he's describing the male gays, and this comic is about the male gaze.
ArcaneConjecture
I thought it was a group of raccoons, all boars.

No, no. I think OP was talking about a group of irish ganders, a flock of male gé's

It's a damn shame Wolverine and the X-Men didn't get a season 2.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
It was obviously not a threat to Wolverine, but that's still a dick move to damage property like that. So much work to fix.

Klaustrix
My favourite example of writer's determining power level is Dazzler. She's harnessed the sound of a city to melt Psylocke's face off before, and she's beaten Black Bolt by using his voice to ultra-charge her powers. Always good to see writers have fun with her.
Energytwo
Yeah she could use a bit of an upgrade, like she make her amp any sound (blasts with just whispers) but also is completely useless in space, etc. Make her blasts also make sound so her power feeds itself

...as his eyes open portals to energy from another dimension, which is also something his siblings can manipulate as well.
pandemicmodedad
Isn't the oldest brother basicly a god because all force that touches hus body is manipulated into energy for himself?
TheGodEmperorOfChaos
You might have to be a bit more specific. Which older brother?
His half brother Adam X, or his other bother Alex Summers, they have another brother Gabriel Summers that was a space god for a while, but he was in his mother's womb when she died, so I'm not counting him.
aPokal
Aren't the Summers really clone prone?
pandemicmodedad
I was referring to the space God Gabriel
illmx
I don’t get it
verybamboo
Cyclops can't stop the beams coming from out of his eyes because his eyes are actually portals to another dimension of limitless energy. Basically his eyes leak energy rather than him having eyes that make lasers. He keeps a visor on to control it. The comic is making a joke based on that concept. When his male gaze is not blocked by the visor, it turns anyone he's looking at into hot babes is what I'm getting.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
The other person's description isn't so clear so here's another one:
It's the act of depicting women and the world thru a 'heterosexual, masculine' lens in works of art. It presents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the 'male' viewer.
For example, loads of anime are guilty of this. That overly sexual fan service is a great example of the 'male gaze'.
nominalaeon
Dumb it down for me, kemosabe
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Basically it has to do with artists (usually in cinema and literature) representing women less as people and more as eye candy for the sake of pleasing male audiences.
James Bond movies can also be good examples of this. Generally the women in those movies are just there to be won over, damsels in distress, and play no real role in the story. Honestly, I think the term 'male gaze' is misleading and really it's about the male power fantasy - but I digress...
OmegaMaru
He can't control his male gaze, which sexualizes women, to the point that he sees the guy who hit Jim with the ball as a sexy woman now

Well, he might be named Jim.

noun - the perspective of a notionally typical heterosexual man considered as embodied in the audience or intended audience for films and other visual media, characterized by a tendency to objectify or sexualize women.

ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
the joke is that he had special visor, similar to cyclops from Xmen, that held his male gaze in check. When the frisbee knocked it off he could no longer stop himself from noticing that the woman playing frisbee with him was hot a f
ParryLost
Half right. He wasn't playing frisbee at all, and not with a woman. Part of the humour is turning up the concept of the male gaze to absur-→
ParryLost
→-dity; he starts seeing the guy who accidentally hit him with a frisbee as a sexy woman, because that's just how out-of-control his gaze is
Bubbells
I definitely didn't get it then
Lionskull
if something is made for the "male gaze" it's made with a lot of unnecessary sexualization of women. so when his visor got knocked off, the secondary character, which was a dude, became a hot woman, for no reason other than to satisfy the "male gaze"
EatingFiftyBagels
That makes sense i guess. Then again i am not very smart
