Re: "Woman Up"

[(Anonymous)]

That line bothers me because it sounds so forced. Woman up is not a thing that many real people say, and it felt like people put the line it just to show lolgenderreversalw/manup and it rang... false, and off. The same way it always rings false and off when cartoons try to give characters a quirky catchphrase that nobody would actually say.

I have nothing against women and I don't like the phrase "Man Up" either, because pinning bravery and toughness to gender-at-all bothers me, which Woman Up also does, so there's that.

So do all other forced cheesy tryhard catchphrases that nobody would ever say in real life bother you? Because they're pretty much standard fare in TV/movies, especially ones for kids. I don't know why people here keep singling out this one.

"The same way it always rings false and off when cartoons try to give characters a quirky catchphrase that nobody would actually say."

I already said yes. So yes.

I want to punch the person who thought that Robin's catchphrase should be "whelmed" in young justice. Just as eyerollingly terrible as "woman up"

Re: "Woman Up"

[(Anonymous)]

That's more or less exactly what bothered me.

I mentioned to the pillock up thread the line in X-men about "Do you no what happens to a toad when it's struck by lighting" as an example of equally terrible writing, and you're right, the issue is it's forced. Only, imagine if whoever wrote that line was so please with themselves for thinking up something so cleaver they REPEATED it.

Also, as I mention up thread, Robin in YJ and his "Whelmed" was like nails on a fucking chalkboard.
