I mean, there are plenty of female characters in the rest of media, with a lot of them including more than one female. Besides, the lone girl in a specific show, movie, or whatever can't represent ALL women. It's impossible. That's adding too much pressure on a character, don't you think??? It's only bad if the character is poorly written. Some media adds the opposite of this trope by adding one guy, and nobody complains. Of course, this is just my opinion. I really don't want to cause an argument. I'm a feminist too, I'm just not...oversensitive, so to speak.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547210275521473496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662528987570847467.post-45116651600553047962015-10-28T18:40:10.041+01:002015-10-28T18:40:10.041+01:00I've always wondered about the Smurfette Princ...I've always wondered about the Smurfette Principle when reversed for shows geared towards young girls- like Strawberry Shortcake or She-ra, with their lacking boy counterpoints- and the fact nobody cites this as outrage evidence for the media criticism issue. It just seems to be something that should be touched upon at least. When a show is geared towards a certain audience, we can expect a greater number of characters with that audience's representation and less of another. (Another thing I've noticed is things like in the new comic book Paper Girls, all female leads and... all the male characters are antogonists. Every single one. But the book is marketed towards young women.)<br /><br />Sorry if this isn't totally on target, I only had a couple minutes to type this out. Keep up the awesome blog posts! I may swing back later and see if I can add something more of relation to the post.joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445309993717135544noreply@blogger.com
