This is heaven: two funny smart gorgeous women having a hilarious, empowered conversation!

[@GriffinXP97]

Was it empowering when she aborted a child just because she did not want it? Note, it was not an emergency, it was not a poverty issue, it was not a relationship drama (as she says herself in the interview she did years ago), no, she just did not want to take responsibility. It is fine, of course, it is very empowering to see a human being treat a sentient life as a fast food order - nah, I don't want it ✌

[@gayamarina]

@@GriffinXP97 you're a pro--choice fool Nugi. of course it is empowering to see a woman stand up to patriarchy and tradition, and have some boundaries about her own body. a woman, any human being is allowed to say no and chance their mind at any point in their lives and not have to explain anybody anything. a no is a no. she did not want to be an incubator for a life she wouldn't be able to love because she didn't want it that very moment. she's allowed to do whatever she wishes. So am I. So is everybody else.

@@c-mc I don't see that as a problem. The same champions come in many different versions, even in the comics. If her entire personality was being white and representing the white people than it's a problem, bit but other than that her ethnicity seems of little to no impact to who she is. And even so this is an MCU time-line and not the comics, so they're at liberty to make changes. God knows people are having a big enough problem with her origin story deviating from the comics as is.
