Save the ta-tas!

Sci-fi and comic book author J. Ishiro Finney recently announced that the first part of his cultural criticism series Boobs of Steel is now available for preorder.

In the Boobs of Steel series, Finney (Casefile: Arkham, Bombshell) explores the origin and motivation behind attacks on the “Boobs of Steel” feminine power trope in popular media and how these attacks are affecting modern discourse today. This first installment examines “the Amazon” archetype, with later installments focussing on “the Valkyrie” and “the Jungle Queen.”

Here’s the official breakdown of Boobs of Steel Part 1:

Boobs of Steel: The tendency for the strongest physical female fighter in a group or cast to also have the largest breasts.
-TV Tropes

Lara Croft… Power Girl… Tifa Lockhart… They’re three of the most loved and loathed characters in all pop-culture. Since the late 1990s all three have also been favorite targets for outraged feminists and woke keyboard warriors who believe that a bountiful cup size is a crime against humanity.

If you’ve read comics, played video games, love sci-fi & fantasy, or just simply have been paying attention, you may have noticed the Rainbow Mafia hates women—especially those with a bountiful cup size. And if that busty woman is portrayed as heroic, they’ll hate her even more. We’ve all heard the complaints…

“Lara Croft’s boobs objectify women!”

“Power Girl’s cleavage is offensive!”

“Anime girls are fascist patriarchal blah blah blah!”

What if I told you Cancel Culture’s war against beauty, femininity, and specifically BREASTS can be traced all the way back to 1954 when psychologist (and avid Marxist) Dr. Fredric Wertham published Seduction of the Innocent—the book that nearly destroyed the American comics industry.

It’s true. In a chapter entitled “Bumps & Bulges” Wertham wrote…

“The ultrabosomy girls depicted as ideal in comic-book stories and the countless breast and figure advertisements make young girls genuinely worried long before the time of puberty. These very young girls become entrapped by the sex appeal of comic-book pictures and the ‘emotional appeal’ of their advertisements.”

Guess what else Wertham did? Accused anyone who disagreed with him of being a fascist. Sound familiar? It should. The woke warriors of today are pulling directly from Wertham’s playbook as they censor artwork, destroy careers, and reboot, retconned, or simply wiped from existence our modern mythologies.

In the BOOBS OF STEEL series, sci-fi author J. Ishiro Finney exposes the decades-long war Leftists have been waging against feminine curves—and SPECIFICALLY busty heroines—in the name of “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” For instance, did you know…

…the United Nations officially banned Wonder Woman in 2016 because of her bra size?

…the erasure of the busty tomboy archetype is because of the transgender lobby?

…the She-Ra reboot was tailored to make children question their gender?

Within these pages, Finney chronicles the history of the Boobs of Steel trope, its associated archetypes, and the impact these Amazons have had on our art, literature, and cultural landscape. Often assumed to be a modern creation, the so-called “Boobs of Steel” heroine is an outgrowth of a storytelling tradition as old as humanity itself.

This first installment of the Boobs of Steel series explores the legacies of the Amazon, the Valkyrie, and Jungle Queen, and how they formed the basis for nearly every action heroine today. It also addresses these archetypes in the age of cancel culture, and how the heroic feminine is being systematically purged from all media. In here you will learn exactly why the woke mob are dead wrong when they scream that our favorite busty heroines are “sexist, racist, and offensive!”

All this and more are revealed in the BOOBS OF STEEL series. But it’s not enough to merely expose what’s happening within our media. To understand today’s culture war, we must also know what’s been stolen from us.

BOOBS OF STEEL, PART 1, available for preorder on Amazon.com, explores the past, present, and possible future of the Amazonian archetype. You’ll learn where the myth of the warrior woman comes from, why she’s important to us, and how she forms the basis for every action heroine today. It’ll also teach you why the Rainbow Brigade is DEAD WRONG when they scream “THAT’S OFFENSIVE!” and point at old-school Lara Croft’s tits.

So, suit up and strap in. It’s gonna be a fun ride.

Boobs of Steel Part 1 is available for preorder via Amazon here for $2.99 (Kindle format). You can also check out a preview of the first several pages via Amazon’s “Look inside” feature.
