I remember liking Sam, but I also hate "tomboy" female characters who always have perfectly curled and styled hair. It didn't seem to fit her personality.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I thought that was refreshing. Personally I'm tired of one-note tomboy characters. The way Sam was portrayed reminds me more in alot of ways of my actual tomboy friends. You can be a tomboy and still care about your appearance, and I hate the idea that in order to be a tomboy you need short hair and grass crusted on your jeans from playing [insert sport here] and you have no idea what makeup or hair products are. In reality lots of tomboys curl their hair in the morning, throw on a cute top. It's not a lack of effort that makes a tomboy.

I mean, you can. But there aren't shows that have tomboy characters who don't have perfect hair. Female tomboy characters invariably have perfect makeup and hair, even when the show constantly pretends to belittle them for being rough and not caring about their appearance.

...What are you talking about? Where are you seeing this? Every Tomboy character I can think of at the drop of a hat is literally nothing like Sam. They either have short hair (Poussey from OITNB, Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU), or put their hair in ponytails or just kinda loose (Rizzoli from Rizzoli and Isles, Paige McCullers from Pretty Little Liars). I have honestly never seen the type of character you're talking about, and honestly this entire comment comes off as disingenuous about it. It sounds like you have a really narrow view of what an "acceptable tomboy" is to you.

You are so wrong though. It's EXTREMELY RARE to see a female character at all who isn't shoved into conventionally attractive roles. I can't think of a female love interest in a mainstream show that ISN'T conventionally attractive with perfect hair, especially one aimed at younger audiences. I mean, enjoy your dime-a-dozen, conventionally beautiful blonde "tomboys" though.

[(Anonymous)]

Prove it. Show me these swaths of gorgeous conventionally beautiful blonde tomboys, or else I'm just going to think you're cracked because literally every single tomboy I can think of is brunette, and tough. I do love the shaming of "conventionally pretty" tomboys though, good job with the feminism there. "She's pretty and has nice hair so therefore she can't be a real tomboy!"

I like how you're making this about ~tomboy representation~ and not, you know, the fact that virtually all female characters (who are young and not comic reliefs) must be conventionally attractive and wearing lots of makeup. There is nothing whatsoever groundbreaking about a pretty blond girl with perfect hair and makeup. Not even the fact that she's a "tomboy", because tomboys who don't actually care about their appearance virtually do not exist in media.
