I'm fucking tired of people blaming the gendering of anthropomorphised things on "heteronormativity." How does it figure that obsession with gender is strictly a straight people problem?

(Anonymous) 2015-07-28 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
In my experience, almost all of the people who enforce the, "boys and girls need to follow these specific gender stereotypes or else!!!" mindset have been pretty heterosexual.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-28 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah gay and bi people do it too, they just pretend to be above it because their own ideas about what each gender needs to be like aren't the same as straight people's.

Many do drink the koolaid, but there's a lot of gay/bi people who see that gender roles are bullshit. Traditional gender roles and heterosexuality are intertwined.

SA And no, don't give me the bullshit that queers think that being camp or butch or whatever is the only way to be. But sure, there's a lot of gay/bis who have painfully narrow ideas on gender. But not as many as straights, no way.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-28 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably because anthropomorphized things are almost never gendered so that they both appear to be the same gender. They always make one ultra feminine so that there's no doubt about them being a straight couple.

Yeah, this. I've been getting more than my fill of kids telly recently, and this is so overdone.

In general, anything to do with kids is infuriatingly 1950s in terms of gender concepts and norms. It's like equality and queer stuff are "adult" concepts and not natural or something.

Not bashing the volcano song, it's just that put it together with all everything else and it tells kids only one story.

And if a gay person made a video about two gay volcanoes, they'd have two fat crusty volcanoes. If a lesbian made a movie about lesbian volcanoes, both of them would look distinctly feminine. The reason we don't have those is because gay isn't deemed acceptable for kids yet, and that's a separate issue.

ayrt

But if it was acceptable for Disney shorts to be about gay volcanoes and lesbian volcanoes, people wouldn't be reacting this negatively to straight volcanoes and straight umbrellas. Most people aren't objecting to gendering objects in general, just objecting to the fact that whenever it happens, it always seems to be one of the objects being given stereotypically feminine traits so that there can be no mistaking them for anything but straight.

lmao it's not a separate issue at all, that's precisely the problem people are bringing up
