Yeah, I saw Moana a few days ago and it was awesome, really great to see a female Disney character like that. Saying Frozen "subverted and reinvigorated the fairy-tale princess movie" just means the "journalist" doesn't even know what he's talking about. Frozen is the basic "Love is more powerful than anything and you need love" girly Disney movie, as far as feminism as it can be.

You want your daughter to grow up strong and independent? Show her Mulan, Brave and Moana, but surely not Frozen.

I think you're mixing up feminism with androgenism.

I'm not an expert in feminism (I usually don't like feminists), but isn't "Women should be as strong and independent as men" one of their motto? Mulan, Brave and Moana are proofs of that, Frozen is not.



They made a female Jedi. lol.....


Force Awakens was hot dogshit on a plate. And Rey is not a Jedi.

There were literally tons of female Jedi before the purge. Troll Harder.


I'm tired, and going to bed.



Entitled much? Ffs so sick of people complaining over such stupid shit, who cares!!! Please make it stop 😥😥😥😥



Pretty upset. Gonna take a shower and ban myself, my children, and my children's children, until tomorrow morning. Way out of line.

People who love to complain about everything are turning into the best comedians.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Pocky Lover Boy! 

People gotta make a living man, if writing shitty journalism is the only way to put food on my table, then I'll write whatever fucking bullshit that looks like click-bait all fucking day long too.

I mean, let's face it, sexism is not only towards women, and although we are intellectually the same, our physical manifestation will never be without surgery and artificial drugs. If people want to make games that feature only male protagonists, let it be, and vise versa, but at the end of the day, it's data collection and whatever sells more at the current time that matters. Mario is a classic character, they are not going to have a female version of fucking Macbeth that will be recognized as the real thing.



Mario plots are about falling back on all the old Mario cliches.

I choose to interpret Mario Run as a coming of age story for Princes Peach.

It starts off which her being an innocent air head who cares for nothing nothing but the colour pink, baking cakes and dreams of being swept up by a handsome mustachioed hero.

Then there's the reality of her kidnapping and her subsequent rescue which makes her reevaluate her role as the victim and she becomes a kick ass playable character with an awesome floating jump.
