#i did a comparison post with the pyjama hero kids once

[critical-thinking-is-mandatory]

I don’t know if spoilers bother you but I’ll just say that zag posted a image on Instagram which a) not only spoils some upcoming hero designs but also b) has a ‘girl power!’ message right underneath a gratuitous and frankly disgusting image of ladybug that feels very sexualised with a lot of emphasis on her ass 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

i saw that and i was sitting there looking at it like

jhere's the link if anyone's interested https://www.instagram.com/p/CPfQ9_RAeUN/

and it is...bad doesn't even begin to cover it. just like with every other aspect of the show, it's telling us 'girlpower!! uwu' but it's showing us the absolute opposite. i don't know how on earth this was allowed to be published. it shouldn't have made it past the draft stages.

like i know i've talked about this before but the lengths the miraculous team go to to have all the child characters covered head-to-toe in clothes but still manage to make the girls feel naked is revolting. i'm no stranger to wearing revealing clothing, and i used to swim competitively, so like. i'm used to kids and young adults wearing skin tight swimmers being active, but it never felt as sexual as what the ml team have done.

also like, i haven't seen the she-ra reboot but i've seen screenshots, and like. boob windows are basically a key design feature throughout the show and never feel erotic??? i just. it's revolting how ml has managed to make girls wearing full-length clothing feel like nudity.

also spoilers but the fact that they make the one fat girl have actual layers to her costume and none of the others??? just full on fatphobia my dudes. end spoilers

anyway as soon as i dig my drawing tablet out of my desk drawer i'm gonna be putting chat noir in the same pose ala hawkeye project (which i highly recommend looking up and was an eyeopener for little me and how we represent women, specifically cis women in media).
