Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[Hummingbird]

These people just hear what they want to hear, don't they?

I actually once read an article on Pinocchio where one of the criticisms involved the relative lack of women in the plot.

I'd like to see this article.

I don't think I can find it for you. I can't even remember who wrote it.

There's probably a ton of SJW crap relating to animation out there. Aside from the Disney Princesses being sexist, I'm fairly certain someone has written an argument that The Powerpuff Girls was homophobic and Cow and Chicken was offensive to transgender people.

I saw someone once talking about how Buttercup was obviously a trans boy in the closet.

Because she wasn't stereotypically feminine?... Do these people know that tomboys exist?

She did an amazing job, I really enjoyed the video, but...
SlutWalkers make themselves look like morons pretty effectively on their own. That first girl she interviewed, with the police tape, oh man.

'My body is a crime scene.' You don't look that bad, buttercup.

Have these morons never heard of scholarships? Or, for that matter, affirmative-action?

Or even just parents who actually give a shit about their children and will act like slavedrivers and insist on excellence.

Because if people expect you to do something, it means they'll hand it to you without effort. Sure.

Male rhesus monkeys found to show a preference for masculine toys and females towards toys for both genders

The animals really are just like us, aren't they?

 

[ZehnBoat]

wow, someone is actually giving a shit about class?
class is kind of a fucking big deal, in fact it overrides pretty much everything else.
but you don't see sjw's bring it up much.. it's as if they might mostly be upperclass themselves.
(i'm of the mind that most SJWs are well off. and act like they are oppressed because they want attention. then again i'm sure most of these whiny shits haven't really had a bad day in their life. )
they also don't mention religion much either, hmmmm...........

The animals really are just like us, aren't they?

yeah, the sjws are just like us.

i mean, it's as if sex is a physical thing, and there is a difference between the two genders.
but as humans we can change that, and break that.. or we could have women who are weak and emotional and cry whenever a man looks at them.
so much for strong independent woman.

Now that I can see that... Oh, God, that's funny!

There was also an episode about feminism - written by Lauren Faust, no less - where the villain was a radical feminist who convinced the girls that women ought to stick together, which turned them into Tumblr-type "Kill all men" feminists who refused to help men in any way. Eventually, Sara Bellum managed to break them out of that phase by showing them the many women who the villain had harmed, and pretty much getting the message across that feminism is not about hating all men.

Needless to say, Feminist Frequency hated the episode.

I remember that one! The Susan B. Anthony finale was gold. Unfortunately the villain forgot to invoke "male privilege" as an excuse for her behavior, but then this was before tumblr abused the p-word.

I'm not against animation as a medium, but the Tumblr crowd does seem, shall we say, particularly invested in them as far as teenagers go?

Isn't it amazing how kids' TV shows can predict the future so easily?

You'd think these people would just sit back and enjoy them and realize that they're just fucking cartoons, not life-or-death shit, but then again...

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but it sure is a thing. Did I internalise too much misogyny, or is this an entire paper of FullMcintosh?

"Cleo is a lady, and she is aware of it. Her large blue eyes and see-through tail, which she uses as a veil to cover her face when she feels embarrassed, lend her an overtly feminine, even oriental look. She makes this sex appeal masquerade quite apparent. Surrounded by male characters, Cleo is the damsel in distress in Pinocchio, who is unable to save herself or to do anything of (narrative) significance. She is a childish yet sexualized woman figure, who has no other function than to look pretty on the screen, and is a fitting example of what Mulvey defines as “to-be-looked-at-ness” (qtd. in Cristian and Dragon 90)."

"Since the emphasis is on masculinity, and the male figure’s struggle to become accepted in a family (and society as well), all the female characters are made submissive and less relevant. Ultimately, both the Blue Fairy and Cleo, the two notable female characters conceal their objectification and insignificance in a masquerade of overt femininity."

"Dumbo allegorically presents a child’s emotional need for his mother and the ability to succeed without her. This orphan’s quest objectifies Mrs. Jumbo’s role and reduces her narrative function in the film. The animation has primarily been criticized for its racist portrayal of characters but considering notions of feminist film theory on black women, Mrs. Jumbo is not simply passive and submissive, as most of Disney’s women, she is a feminine figure under double oppression: gender and racial alike."

"Besides the human-nature conflict in Bambi – rendered with the hunter as active, masculine and the forest as passive, feminine –, the film depicts also the tension between the genders of the forest animals. Although the Disney studio shrewdly tried to conceal its obvious sexism behind the emphasis on the realism of the background and the cuddlesome, pretty characters, the simplified stereotypical representations play a significant role in the story of this mainstream classical Hollywood narrative. The most basic incentive behind the narrative of Bambi is thus the dichotomic conflict between feminine and masculine, let them be embodied as two fawns of different genders, a doe versus a buck or nature against a group of hunters. The peak of Disney’s sexism, however, is marked by the fact that the female character always loses ground in the battle: nature remains subjected to humans, Bambi’s mother is killed by the hunters, and Feline is left alone by Bambi."
