Re: fandom opinions

I think the right representation is especialy important for kids. I.e. girls seeing BAMF girl characters and not just a GF of a main hero.

Re: fandom opinions

Yes, this! Kids need to see people like them in positive roles.

I kinda disagree. Some of the most badass women I know... all of them, in fact, grw up on a diet of Princess Peach and Zelda and Girlfriends and damsels and bland personality free ponies.

People, in particular these women needed nothing from their media other than it be entertaining.

Thiiis.

I come from a generation where almost all kids' entertainment was aimed at boys, and anything aimed at girls was still coming from the angle where you were either a simpering Barbie or a housewife. I still remember a book series I loved where that was the culmination -- all these great adventures and achievements, all a total waste of time, now you have to conform to what society expects of a nice young woman, get a ladylike job (usually a secretary) and settle down and be responsible.

Does that mean every single woman of my generation grew up to think that was a great idea?

Uh, no.

Is it really so weird to think that maybe not everyone is exactly like this specific group of women you know, and maybe they have different needs because they're different people?

Re: fandom opinions

[(Anonymous)]

That street goes both ways.

Re: fandom opinions

They get that in real life, and it's better that they do. Seeing their elders do great things is way more powerful than seeing it in the media. Fantasy doesn't have to be ANYthing for ANY reason.

Hooo, speak for yourself, Anon. I honestly am hugely grateful for the fiction I ran into growing up because it saved my LIFE, teaching me that families didn't have to be like mine. (Even though I had to go to sci-fi or fantasy to get it.)

Also, basically all my stuff gets sold to people desperately wanting to see someone like them in fiction. So there is some demand. I'm not bashing sheer entertainment or people who DO get good role models in real life, but not everyone gets that.
