grumble flowchart grumble
I saw the flowchart of female characters days ago, but I didn't see the metafandom posts about it until now. Let me just say that I am tremendously relieved. No, you can't say Usagi is an Adorable Klutz or Ripley is the Final Girl without fandom complaining. You can't say that they're not strong female characters. You can't put Usagi in a little box where she hasn't saved the world a million times by ACTUAL FIGHTING, and then make fun of her for not being a strong character. What the fuck? Who did that? Did Naoko Takeuchi do that, by making Tsukino Usagi the owner of power that could both blow up an entire planet and keep everyone she loves safe? Did the animators do that, when they had her talk countless villains into changing sides and making the world a better place? No.
YOU
DID
THAT.
*echo* >:E
You put them in BOXES and then you LAUGHED! For shame.
Hey guys, if I'm on a diet and I need to eat takeout, what am I going to get? Sushi! But what if I am also concerned about the population of bluefin tuna and would rather not eat sushi containing such fishies in the name of maybe being able to eat it in the future? :/ Like 80% of the sushi sets I see have tuna somewhere. I am oooookay with ordering yellowtail, salmon, mackerel, eel etc. a la carte but that is way more expensive than the generic chirashi set that always has a piece of tuna somewhere. I ended up just eating inexpensive sushi with salmon and eel. (Farm salmon's not that good for the environment either :/)
