Re: Toxic Masculinity

I don't think there's a non-toxic form of "traditional masculinity" in American culture, though Gravity Falls seems to be trying to claim one. Broaden it, and definitions of "masculinity" vary so much between cultures that the question is almost meaningless.

I feel like there's something disproportionate about this sentence but I can't really put my finger on it.

Gravity Falls was the first thing that came to mind, and honestly, it's still the only recent thing that comes to mind. Most Americans who want to "reclaim masculinity" nowadays want to make it more powerful and dominant, because apparently American masculinity wasn't power-hungry enough already.

Da

How is gravity falls doing such a thing? That's where my confusion lies. That is such a curve ball in your post.

The obvious example is "Dipper vs. Manliness," but a surprising number of episodes in S1 were about good and bad ways to be a man, especially good and bad ways men relate to women. Dipper, Gideon, and Robbie all got episodes about how they failed to respect girls they loved or thought they loved, and Dipper learned from his experiences and became a better person for it. I didn't watch S2, so I'm not sure if it kept doing that.
