I... don't really get how having a fictional crush played by someone of the "wrong" gender or age is creepy. Like, if it makes them less convincing in the role, that's one thing. But it sounds like, idk, you were mad that you couldn't crush on live action Peter because he was played by a woman? Like "is this actor/actress acceptable first crush material?" really isn't the first thing people think of when casting children's book adaptations. One of my first crushes was Simba (and no, I'm not a furry) but I'm also not disappointed that his voice actors weren't actually lions.

well as a small kid it made me unhappy

fuck all you trolls

See, "it made me unhappy" is different from "it's shitty". The first is you acknowledging that it's your interpretation and your own problem to deal with. The second implies fault on the part of the author or casting director or whoever for making that casting choice - you're blaming them for your hang-up. If you'd started with "it made me unhappy" you would have saved yourself all this drama instead of making out like the production was flawed and then pitching a fit and calling names whenever anyone tried to explain the rationale behind the casting to you.

I could pretty easily tell what she meant.

But of course she should go throw herself under the nearest bus to not being quite precise enough.

people disagreeing with you doesn't make them trolls

i mean

god

NA

Lol did you sit on a wasp tonight or something? You are being hilariously butthurt about all this.

Chill the fuck out. Everyone has brought up interesting snipets of the history behind the character and the role, but all you have contributed is "omg he was played by a woman and that's SO WEIRD RITE GUIZ!?" and now you're pissed you got called out on it.

No, it's not weird, and no it's not weird if a little boy's first crush happened to be fucking Edna for a perfect example and the role is played by a drag queen. Why is this such a mindbreaking issue for you?

They do that anytime someone disagrees with them.

Pointing out that you're kind of being a homophobic tit is not trolling.

Yo I don't understand why everyone is jumping up your ass. I understand you. You were a little kid hoping to see a character you loved, but instead was greeted by someone who didn't fit the description at all. Seeing a taped version of the Peter Pan play threw me off when I was a kid too. A grown woman playing Peter was incorrect, and it bothered tiny, simple me. Kids don't give understand things like child labor laws, or give a shit about artistic license. You were disappointed, and you're entitled to those feelings. Everyone in this thread who's clutching their pearls over your hyperbolic descriptive words needs to get off their high horses.

Because there is a world of difference between "I was disappointed" and "the casting was shitty"

being disappointed as a kid is one thing, but they're clearly still... um, way too fucking invested in it to this day

wow you're a bitch

Oh really? Because I'm 90% convinced you're another logged-in troll of the same ilk as thelesbianfuturist. You're the "I am 12 and what is this?" troll to their radfem.

Every time I see that username and icon, it puts me in mind of the whiny little sister in An Old-Fashioned Girl:

"Do go to Katy, you're as cross as a little bear today," said Fanny.

"Katy don't amoose me, and I must be imposed, 'cause I'm fwactious, mamma said I was," sobbed Maud.

Crossy Woad is just always cross and fractious.

gah, that "imposed" should be another "amoosed." Autocorrect was being annoying.

As opposed to the giant kid you are now?

Wow you're such a child.
