If you actually didn’t care about a game protag’s gender then you wouldn’t get mad when people want it to be anything other than cis male

Why I don’t tell my parents anything: they either only have negative things to say OR they make a big deal out of it when I don’t want it to be a big deal.

I love them but seriously…

mister-sunny:

people are boycotting the Kraft commercials for the “Zesty” salad topping because it features a topless man in compromising situations.

people are boycotting it because it sexualizes a man.

people are boycotting a commercial that features one of the oldest marketing strategies because this time it’s a man being exploited.

kangaya:

After about two and a half solid weeks of effort I finally finished my comic with Lee for supercon! She came up with the story and characters and we worked together from there on out. It was a huge learning experience for both of us and now I can boast about actually having finished a product, haha.

Here’s the imgur album so you can read it easier!

If you like, you can buy a hi-res pdf of the comic+the cover art for 5 dollars! And for 10 you get the same deal, plus a copy of the comic without dialogue, and extra drawings! If you’re interested, please email me at amber.r.illustration@gmail.com !

…uhm…

i think the weirdest thing about tumblr is how you can follow someone for a long time and learn their whole life story right down to their little quirks and in your head they’re almost like friends but to them you can be like just one notification on their dash every now and then and that’s it

… Oh great, Disney is going to straight up bastardize another Andersen story.

Have I ever mentioned how much I adore Andersen stories and how much I research them? Have I ever mentioned that The Little Mermaid is an incredibly loose adaptation of the original Andersen Story?

Well, this version of The Snow Queen makes Disney’s The Little Mermaid look like a sincere retelling.

I’m not even upset that she looks like Rapunzel. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the character designs anymore because Disney’s graduated from sipping that Koolaid to straight up swigging bleach when it comes to their characters.

THE AMAZING THING ABOUT THE SNOW QUEEN STORY IS THAT IT IS ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL NAMED GERDA WHO GOES ON AN INCREDIBLY HARROWING ADVENTURE TO RESCUE A LITTLE BOY. AND SHE MAKES THIS DECISION ON HER OWN. AND SHE FIGHTS AWAY THE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO HOLD HER BACK. GERDA IS A KICKASS LITTLE GIRL.

BUT NO. DISNEY CAN’T HAVE THAT. ONLY LITTLE BOYS FILL THEATRE SEATS, WAAAAHHH WAAAAHHH WAAAAAHHHHHH.

Disney is SO averse to having a willful, female hero WITH TOTAL AGENCY, who ISN’T under the thumb of her parent or some idiot GUY, that they’re going to GUT a PERFECTLY GOOD STORY to make the damn thing more marketable. Take a cue from Miyazaki - girl heroes can SELL.

I am 5000% done with Disney.

From the Disney Wiki:

On March 5, 2012, author Eric Eisenburg reported the original details about Frozen: “The story is based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen and is about an evil queen who kidnaps a young boy named Kai. Following his disappearance, a young girl named Gerda goes on an adventure to save him.”

[…]

On July 29, 2012, a new story plot was given by The Walt Disney Animation Studios: “When Anna is cursed by her estranged sister, the cold-hearted Snow Queen, Anna’s only hope of reversing the curse is to survive a perilous but thrilling journey across an icy and unforgiving landscape. Joined by a rugged, thrill-seeking outdoorsman, his one-antlered reindeer and a hapless snowman, Anna must race against time, conquer the elements and battle an army of menacing snowmen if she ever hopes to melt her frozen heart.”

What gets me is how blatant the marketing change is for this one.

It’s upsetting that Disney is taking this approach with their present films, because the most celebrated part of Disney’s legacy—the Disney Renaissance—was built on stories about coming-of-age stories about girls with full agency. They were marketted as “family films,” never “princess/girl films.”

Actually, I remember in the Making Of segments of The Little Mermaid (the first of the Disney Renaissance classic films), there was a portion where the studio of animators were told not to get their hopes up, that it was a “girl movie” and “girl movies never do well.” …And, of course, the movie made bank, and the rest is history.

Even knowing this, even knowing it’s what made them the juggernaut they are today, they still feel like if they don’t shallowly appeal to boys they’ll fail? Really?

One of my male cousins adored The Little Mermaid as a child. Honestly, pretty much all of the “princess” films can appeal to everyone. I hate how the male demographic is all that Disney’s worried about nowadays. It drives me mad.

And you know what’s funny? It seems that “girl movies” have almost always saved that particular studio’s ass. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the highest grossing film of all time upon its initial release. Cinderella saved the studio from bankruptcy in 1950. The Little Mermaid brought Disney animation back in full force after the long dry period which resulted after Walt’s death in 1966. “Girl movies always fail”? Bah!

A great addendum I forgot to mention. It’s like Disney needs a lesson on their own history.

Every time I think of the black market, I actually imagine a market, with little stalls selling illegal things like nuclear weapons and organs.

You mean it’s not like that?
