Meet video game director David Jaffe who told his 50,000+ Twitter followers that this awesome photo of some kids enjoying prom dressed as superheroes was “sexist.”
As a comicGeek,I so want 2 love this prom picture.But it's so grossly unaware of how sexist it is that I just can't. pic.twitter.com/n0H4Ni13Mg

You see, it’s sexist because the men are “heroes” in “serious thought” while the women are “subservient” and “all smiles”:
.@MShaneman The men as heroes, the women as subserviant. Not a single female hero. The men serious/in thought, the women only all smiles.

Give us a break.
But then he really went off the rails and dropped the KKK card for some reason:
@LAME_STREET @MShaneman I'd imagine the Klan was 'into it' when they lynched people. Doesn't make the act any less racist/horrific.

So 5 young ladies decide that they want to willingly participate in this photo with matching dresses and that’s the same as the Klan lynching somebody? Nope:

But he does give the kids permission to have sex on prom night, so there’s that:
People wud B surprised to learn I'd be fine if these kids were CONSEUNTIALLY FUCKING EACH OTHER in the prom picture. People so quick2attack.

And they can stay in school:

How nice of him.
Jaffe is “sad,” however, that some people have been mean to him for comparing a prom picture to a KKK lynching:
AMAZED and actually kind of sad about how MEAN SPIRITED some people have been on my twitter feed tonite. I posted a thought on a prom pic

He doesn’t see it, does he?
