meh whatever the internet says about whitewashing haha it was a danish fairytale pls leave and all that
and apart from that? the female characters are pretty terrible and 2d. surprise! disney cant write a female character without focusing her entire "development" (if you can call it this time around) on A Man. those silly women need us men to do their thinking and lead them by the hand all the time. who said you could be independent, silly women? not on disneys watch.
I agree with the starter of this topic as well as the others who are against Sylar.
I admit that I do actually agree with you on a fair few other things (and a nice redesign and an even fuller explanation of your point about racism can be found here, and the rest of the blog is pretty great too), I disagree with you on this point. I'm sort of scared to try and explain why because I don't think I know as much about misogyny or view it in the same way as you do, but I didn't really get that vibe from it. I thought that the main female characters made a lot of decisions themselves and - yes, they did need help from men in a way that you'd never see happen in a film with a male protagonist and I'm not going to defend that, but I certainly didn't get a 'being led by the hand' vibe from either of the female protagonists.
I don't know if your average person who watches that film would look into all that very much?
ok yea i was kinda Dickish w the last sentence i didnt mean it to come across as mean u_u; sorry about that.
itd be nice to grow up knowing you could be a disney princess even if you dont want to marry a man (or a woman. maybe you dont wanna marry anyone, thats not an issue), or youre black or youre sami or fat or bald or anything. its just nice to see yourself be represented as a kid, you know? maybe some kids dont care, they just like the pretty movie and nice songs and princesses and prince charmings, but it does help to include strong characters in media that arent just cis white males. i hate that combo of words, but they do make up a lot of Strong Characters!
they did make decisions, but a lot of them revolved around the male character from what i could tell? and some of their decisions were led by a bloody snowman. girl had a chance to save her literally identical sister, wow, girl gets to be The Hero! wait here comes a snowman to save her suddenly weak 2d ass and talk to her about picking ~boys~ over her sister. oh look shes totally buying it and swooning over some chud who talked down to her about Everything.i didnt understand why they suddenly decided that she had to fall in love with a man who did nothing but look down his nose at her? love at first sight but also sort of felt like it was perpetuating the idea that boys only hurt and bully girls if they like them (or vice versa sometimes)... shed known the guy for a few days and she was in love with him, despite the fact he treats her like shes less than him. its pretty disgusting and i think that itd give little girls the idea that if a guy treats you like ass, hes a true keeper. gross.also forgive me if im wrong, but im pretty sure i remember a comment like GIRLS NEED TO BE PRETTY in there, which is also trash. like, come on. girls dont ~need~ to be anything. dont give me that garbage.
