LOL

Did you know that when that same pro-rape group decided to have some kind of party in New Zealand, selling tickets and everything, that the President of New Zealand personally banned all the people who signed up for that pro-rape shit based on lack of moral fiber, which is something they can do. Now all those scumbags are out a bunch of money they spent on non-refundable tickets, and aren't legally allowed to go! So cool!

I had not heard that one, but it totally sounds like them. New Zealand can be very territorial and assertive about defending boundaries. \o/

Oy...what Fortressa would do to those guys... apart from string them up as punching bags maybe.

Hmm... I'd imagine there'd a be a lot of white capes suddenly being 'busy elsewhere' at that point.

In fact, when I first saw this, I imagined that team of bamfettes as Fortressa fangirls. Not soups even, just ordinary women who have Had Enough Of This Shit. :D

Likely so. But I'm also imagining Muscle Girl in that crowd. Just not on official superhera business.

I like your ideas! I'm sure someone could find Muscle Girl a luchadora mask.

Hmm.. now there's a thought, a bunch of Bamfettes in luchadora masks, all from different athletic disciplines breaking up shit like that. I'm sure there some roller derby girls who'd get in on that action, as well as actual female wrestlers.
