What people in this thread need to understand is the difference between

1. a girl or woman choosing to wear revealing clothes for whatever reason, and

2. a creator (usually male) putting female characters in sexy outfits so men can drool over them.

There was difficulty understanding this when it came to "Sucker Punch," too.

stop speaking sense, those fictional characters clearly designed themselves, GIRL POWER

But she's Finn's female counterpart. This doesn't need to mean they're exactly alike in personality (that they weren't really made me happy), but it does create a gross kind of standard where the boy is drawn in a goofy way, and the girl is drawn in a pretty way.

Fionna has some of her hair showing, has a more pronounced body (Finn is all sticks and squares, Fionna is actually drawn like a person--a rather voluptuous person), has all of her teeth, and is wearing much more flattering clothing.

To a lot of people she's a reminder that men = strong, women = pretty. Yes, Fionna is strong AND pretty, but Finn is just supposed to be strong. So why is the female version pretty? Maybe Finn is good-looking when not drawn in caricature, but Fionna exists with the same art style and ended up being a lot prettier.

If Finn were drawn more like Gumball, with his hair showing and all of his teeth, I would believe it's an accurate genderbent version. As it stands, Fionna was clearly drawn to be attractive.

No, I agree with you. I'm pointing out that using the argument "she can choose to wear what she wants, what's wrong with femininity and sexiness?? Maybe she wants to feel hot!" doesn't exactly work when we're talking about a fictional character who was literally designed by someone else and has no choice in what she wears, unlike an actual woman.

It's a weird neo-feminism double-bluff that I see a lot in arguments like these.
