Some people discussing tropes in media need to get a better grip of the examples they're using, particularly when the tropes in question are bigoted in any way, because Jesus Christ does it detract from your point when it looks like you didn't even watch or read the thing.

I've just come across someone talking about scarce female representation and the Smurfette principle in kids' media, and the "cartoons from her childhood" that she cited having this problem included Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cardcaptor Sakura.

Like, the problem you're talking about is real but you've lost me with those choices.

#I don't think she watched nge but if she did what the FUCK was she doing watching it as a kid #nge is borderline 18+ on basis of the gore alone #not even getting into the sex scenes (which we don't see but we sure as hell hear) and suggestive images #cardcaptor sakura really got me though #she opened with 'all these cartoons have one thing in common: a wimpy male protagonist'#and I'm like SAKURA??? my girl sakura kinomoto in the MAHOU SHOUJO genre?????#anyway #my original post #about creative media
