What pierced WW's bracers there was a bullet. A love bullet, fired from Eros' pistols. Hades shot her hoping to make her fall in love with him. It was no real attack and it did no real damage. Ultimately Hades didn't even understand how the guns worked.
But please, keep fighting the good fight against those awful contextless lowballers 👆

Did you even think about what you wrote there? I know that Eros' bullets have a love effect. But they also clearly do physical harm.
Now reconsider what we both know to be true: considering the bullet had no love effect -- because Hades was incapable of loving others since he hated himself -- then really... the only thing the bullet actually did was cause physical harm by piercing through her bracers, piercing her chest and laying her completely out:
Wonder Woman didn't faint because of love. Because there was no love effect. The only thing that could have laid her out was the ballistic power of the bullet itself. So saying the attack "did no real damage" is just completely a$$-backwards. Look at the comic, ffs.
I did read the comic. WW clearly knew what was going on the whole time, and basically set the whole thing up to save Zola from Hades.
Why would it make any sense for the guns to cause harm? Hades didn't want to kill Diana. Eros wouldn't want to kill whomever he was shooting. It's a modern adaptation of Cupid's arrow, not a murder weapon. Christ, you're still cutting off the important part of that page.
Hades: "Yes, Hermes...shoo. Can't you see she's in love?"
"Can't you see she's in love" not "Can't you see I just phucking murdered her?"

Eros brandished those guns multiple times in defensive stances in response to possible threats and aggression. To argue that they can't do any harm whatsoever, renders each of those scenes nonsensical. Moreover, I don't get how you're still just completely ignoring how they pierced right through her bracer, arm and chest. Leaving bloody holes and then a visible scar when next we see her recover. How in the name of Zeus' bunghole can you possibly say they do no physical damage?????

Hades hating himself and incapable of allowing others to love him was what short-circuited the magical love effect. You posted the damn explanation yourself, but since your link is broken I'll post it again:
Wonder Woman wasn't forced to love Hades. That was the reveal of the entire story. The bullet was stripped of its magical love effect because of Hades' own inability to love himself. So if there was no love effect to lay Wonder Woman out, then what force was it that pierced right through her bracer, her arm, her chest, left a bloody hole and completely laid her out?
The natural ballistic power of Eros' bullet. Are you trying to tell me that it piercing her bracer was all an illusion or something? Da phuck, man. Read the comic and get over whatever is clouding your ability to reason.
^ I'm suggesting that Eros brandished the guns because, to people who don't know what they are, they're menacing. I'm suggesting that Wonder Woman, and Hephaestus (when he gave the guns to her), knew exactly what was happening and played along.
But you want more proof? Let's continue...
Persephone: "Does it hurt?"
Wonder Woman: "No. It's a hole. It aches"
No, it doesn't hurt. It only aches, as in there's a hole in her heart that needs to be filled with love. That much is extremely clear from their dialogue in that issue. Obviously, since we know the gun had no real effect, Diana is playing this up. Your scans and hollow insults aren't necessary, because the whole thing was a ruse to save Zola

I'm too lazy to read the entire discussion.The bracers were pierced by a bullet from Eros' gun, that happened, it was real. Is this in contention or was there a new piece of evidence presented?
The contention is whether the bullets are real and they pierced the bracers because the bracers weren't strong enough, or whether they pierced because they're more abstract than that.
After all, DCnU Diana's bracers have blocked other attacks by Gods, so why would Eros' be so much more powerful when he's not even a remotely significant God? Nope. Combined with all the other evidence, I'm not buying it for a second.

Like I said, aneurysm.

Wonder Woman: "[b]No.

Originally posted by CogitoEros' bullet having utterly pierced right through Diana's bracer and arm wasn't a ruse, you nimrod. I mean... what did Diana do exactly to set up this elaborate ruse? Drill a hole in her bracer, cover it with foil and a blood packet and have a fake hologram bullet projected to pierce into her chest, then pretend to faint, and the scar afterwards was also fake makeup? Jesus H. Christ in a hand basket set on fire to the sound of chortling llamas, are you being insanely ridiculous right now.
