Talk:The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7

Bechdel Test

Is the trivia true? Didn't Verity talk with her female social worker about her behavior at one point? Magaroja (talk) 19:29, 22 January 2014 (EST)

Yeah, Infiltration # 4, if I'm not mistaken. --Nu-Priest (talk) 19:41, 22 January 2014 (EST)

Female Transformers != women --Emvee (talk) 10:11, 23 January 2014 (EST)

Are we or are we not interpreting "men" and "women" as including all "male" and "female" characters, whether human or otherwise? --Khajidha (talk) 10:27, 23 January 2014 (EST)

I've no problem with the Bechdel Test note going on Infiltration #4's page, but having to qualify that this is the first time that two female Transformers have talked to each other is stretching the point beyond noteworthiness. --Emvee (talk) 12:31, 23 January 2014 (EST)

Indeed, it has been physically impossible for the test to be passed by Transformers before now. It's also the first time a female character has held a wrench. Or the first time a female character has slid down a hooked rope. I know we're on the internet and the internet just loooooves to make the test a thing lately, but the point of note - purely by virtue of the nature of females in IDW continuity - is that there are new female character AT ALL, not that their introduction suddenly allows the comic to pass the test, which is only one of many, MANY things their appearance singifies. - Chris McFeely (talk)

Yeah, y'know...I was gonna be polite and suggest the same, but you're absolutely right. The note doesn't belong. --Nu-Priest (talk) 13:34, 23 January 2014 (EST)
