108: I always name him Link too. But I can name him other stuff, like "Pudding," because it really improves the dialog for me. |D

109: I don't like the series at all, but I'm not offended that other people like it. \(o_O)/

112. Scrubs is comedy, but it has a fair amount of depressing episodes and messages and scenes etc etc. It makes me cry all the time oops. So I don't think getting morals from a show like that is necessarily bad.

114. I lol'd

116. So they're wrong - just ignore them. \(o_O)/ Even if you disagree - even if the DIRECTORS disagree - they can still have an opinion.

123. It's true that most Lolitas are, but I like to think that I'm not elitist, and I really like the style. Ahhh, but I might be elitist and just not realize it OTL

129. I don't mind it.

137. Do it.

138. A lot of them suck. I probably suck too. ):

141. I've watched Inuyasha once or twice. Can't stand it really. But the episodes I watched were when he becomes human or something??? That almost got me interested, but it seems like it's not much of the series, and I can't stand the rest so...

150. Me too, only it applies to asians too. Stick to one goddamn English. If you can't say something in one language, THEN switch, but I seriously doubt you don't know the fucking word for CUTE or or STUPID.

157. I rage'd. ):

162. I like Nomura, and I like LOL BELTS AND ZIPPERS. But I understand why people don't. \(o_O)/ It's not exactly called creativity if that's all you can add to costume to make it original. Still, I think it's that he likes them, rather than that he's not creative.

129....Neither do I....o_O

/is a girl

Re: 129

[coloa.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's just unconscious for directors and stuff to make the lead a male. Like, before it was because of sexism, but now it's just habit? Haha, that's what I think it probably is.

Re: 129

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's just all random. I'm working on an original novel, most all of the leads are guys. That's just how it turned out. *shrug*

It's just however the script writer images it....and that's just how it ends up.

Re: 129

[coloa.livejournal.com]

For the sake of argument:

You're writing one original novel. Pixar has made a lot of movies. None of which have had female leads. 0/1 is kind of different from like 0/14832497239. oAo

But yeah I see your point. When I count up my OCs and such, most of the main characters are male.

Re: 129

[(Anonymous)]

It just happens. o_O It's just however the story's flow forms.

Different anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably. I know in my major original novel (and my smaller fiction stories), they usually have the females as the lead and the males are love interests.

Though... of course, it's different when I write slash/yaoi/wtfever the word for original yaoi.

Re: Different anon.

[coloa.livejournal.com]

Are you a girl? I wonder if it's just that most of Pixar's writers are male, so they write about males, whereas women tend to write about girls?

Re: Different anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, yep. I has a vagoo.

Besides, we gotta write what we know!

Re: Different anon.

[coloa.livejournal.com]

Yep! Buuuuuut on the otherhand, I'm sure there are plenty of female pixar writers. So. lol idk. I don't mind it, but I understand why other people get angry.

Re: Different anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I guess with males, they tend to have a set goal while we womiins tend to be all over the place.

... I mean that in the best possible way, femmists. CALM DOWN AND EAT A SANDWICH. D:

Re: Different anon.

[coloa.livejournal.com]

HAHA *3* I agree

Re: Different anon.

[(Anonymous)]

By the way, I adore your icons. S-SO CUTE. ;w;

Re: Different anon.

[coloa.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I can't take credit for many, haha. I hijack from awesome iconmakers. All credits are listed - you should check out the people that made them *A*

-de anons-

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I will, I will! Once I get more space on my account. XD

Re: 129

[karel]

I flipped a coin for one roleplay application I was writing a while back. It came up tails, therefore the character was male. Gravity is sexist? *shot*

Re: 129

[(Anonymous)]

That habit IS sexism. How do you think sexism reproduces itself? People fall into habits and mindsets that perpetuate sexism.

Re: 129

[lol-no.livejournal.com]

I think if you're not consciously thinking of it in a sexist way, it's not sexism? Like, it's still bad, and I totally know what you mean, but I also think that like, um. Like going "Oh I am making a character and they are a male like always" is not as bad as "Oh I am making a character and they are a male because females are weak and stupid."

Um! But I'm not trying to argue; just share my thoughts. I know what you mean and basically agree? I just don't much care about things like that, so my argument for either side is half-hearted.

Also this is coloa but I am too lazy to switch back into that account.

Re: 129

[dwinghy.livejournal.com]

I think that's basically what's called institutionalized sexism, in that it's not so much that the person doing it is overtly sexist, but they're responding to the norms of society, which in this case is "heroes are male, love interests/helpers are female".
I tend to think part of the reason this is coming up now is because Wall-E is about robots-- did they really NEED to sexualize (okay, genderize) robots? I mean, why did Pixar feel that need in the first place?

Re: 129

[lol-no.livejournal.com]

Good point!

Re: 129

[dwinghy.livejournal.com]

Also I just realized how unintentionally apt my default icon is.

Re: 129

[(Anonymous)]

It's still because of sexism, dear. It's not like sexism and gender stereotyping magically went the way of the Dodo after the 1950s.

116 OP

[(Anonymous)]

They're entitled to their own opinion so long they don't edit it as fact in a Wiki on the Internet.

Re: 116 OP

[coloa.livejournal.com]

I guess so! I don't pay much attention to those, so they don't bother me, but they still shouldn't do that.

Hey, at least you're sane about it. Personal taste is personal taste.
