Inactive Andrew Dobson / Tom Preston / CattyN - STOP DOING SEXIST CRAP

[Kabobs]

Korra is one of the worst examples you could choose for a strong, female character

 

[Mitch Watterson]

I just realized how hypocrite it is that he's restricting the "Strong Female Character" thing to just movies, considering one of the examples he used in his comic is She-Ra, who is from a cartoon series.

Someone mentioned all magical girl anime and Dobson got really pissy about it. “WHAT ANIME? WHO IN PARTICULAR?”

Yeah, I saw that. Under the guise of wanting to know which magical girl could possibly be better than Rey. Hint: None of them, he'll reject everyone because it's all "girly" stuff.

 

[The tired cat]

Hm, ya know now for some reason I wanna see how Dobbo would handle playing something like WoW.

Technically, the original She-ra from the 1980s IS a movie character, due to the theatrical release "Secret of the Sword". But Dobson is too stupid and ignorant to realize that.

We get it, Tom. You're good.

If only that post hadn't been unironic, it would have been perfect.

What does strong female character even mean?

Do they have to be like Xena Warrior Princess or can you say someone like Mama Fratellis from the Goonies is a strong female character?

Whatever the person claiming there's not enough of them wants it to mean at that precise instant in time.

He gushes so much about Korra (for obvious reasons) but that whiny, self entitled bitch has nothing on the likes of Katara, Toph and Azula. Those are strong, good female characters.

But really, it's not even a gender thing, all the characters in LoK, except Tenzin, suck balls.

It's supposed to mean a well written, relatable character that happens to be a girl, but people like Dib-Dob have twisted the term to be as literal as possible, a female character who gets into fights and beats the shit out of people.

and also it has to be the main lead character, according to Dobson, even though he'd dismiss Sarah Connor because even though she's the strong female lead character, Ah-nuld is the bigger star and is thus the 'Straight white male Lead character'.

Not just that, don't lots of the ATLA fandom headcanon Azula as a lesbian because she happens to hang out with Mai and Ty Lee? Now while that mental gymnastics is already pretty bullshit, you'd think he'd be drooling all over that nonsense complete with awful fanart. I guess Azula is too much of a chad bully for him. Katara is a traitor that ended up with an evil cis male and Toph raised a family with not one but TWO men before fucking off to live by herself.

So I guess he's gotta stick with boring, whine-bucket Korra and her five-second lesbian relationship. Dobson's tastes aren't just shit, they're liquid shit.

Violet, Elastigirl, list goes on.

I thought he already bitched about someone he considered morally ambiguous so straight up villains like Ma Fratelli are out. Which is a shame because Ma is a badass, hardened criminal who doesn't take shit from anyone.

How you dare to not mention the Kyoshi Warriors? Non-benders represent.

They do not bend genders so they dont count!

You could keep telling him about these characters until the cows come home, he'll never listen because he doesn't care about strong female characters, he cares about keeping his politics relevant.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

He acts like Rey invented feminism, that’s pathetically adorable.

Going back to a recent classic for this.

If they are not main lead star morally good characters, they don't count because if the straight white male is the lead character, it means those other characters mean nothing! Because reasons I guess.

Moving the goalpost fallacy right there. It's as if Dobson can't win unless he plays Dobsonball.
