I'm talking as someone who was so excited about getting a Barbie Movie and who is loving the revitalization of hyper femininity; y'all have to STOP shutting down constructive criticisms of Barbie when it's coming from feminist women. I can understand that the Barbie Movie has been a huge milestone for womanhood and feminism which makes it worth celebrating and that Barbie as a whole has always been subject to misogynistic backlash, but women and girls are 100% allowed to expect more from a capitalistic brand that exploits the patriarchy to sell us a manufactured feminist mascot.
I've always felt aggravated when people shot down valid and even personal criticisms from women against Barbie as if they're being anti-feminist or taking it as "ruining girls' fun" when clearly, not all girls are satisfied with Barbie and they deserve to be heard about it. I don't see what's feminist about expecting all girls and women to settle for the little Barbie provides us when we should always get to ask for more. Why are you taking the side of a predominantly male-lead corporation who packages feminism in a box and puts a price tag on it over real every day women who don't feel represented by Barbie and are calling out the lack of intersectionality or misuse of "reverse-misogyny" in the movie??

Not to be another of those guys complaining about that modern gurlz video but basically yeah that’s what this post is. While I hate that people were complaining about Asha’s personality before the movie even came out, now that I’ve seen it I’m like... yeah there’s not much there. But I DON’T agree that Rapunzel, Anna, and Mirabel are like the same character just because they share similar quirkiness.
Rapunzel was quirky because she spent her entire eighteen year old life in one tiny isolated house with no social interaction aside from her seemingly loving but manipulative and demanding mother. She’s also curious, artistic, and friendly to everyone even if they’re scary. She wants freedom first and foremost, but ends up finding love along the way.
Anna was quirky because she spent most of her childhood alone, without ever seeing her sister or anyone aside from castle staff. She’s also naive, romantic, and snarky. What gets her in trouble is being too trusting of a man she barely knows. The same could maybe be said about Rapunzel, but Eugene is pretty upfront about being a wanted thief, and Rapunzel keeps a good friendly distance with him at first. It’s obviously still a Disney movie but there are no wedding proposals on the first date. Anna on the other hand is straight up, as Hans says, desperate for love.
Mirabel was quirky when she was trying to hide things (the fact that she doesn’t have a gift, the vision from the rest of the family), clumsy because she was trying to keep up with her magical family (lifting heavy things in the kitchen, running after luisa while luisa walks effortlessly, getting thrown around by isabela’s plants after her breakthrough), awkward when other people are awkward (bruno) She’s also pushy, determined, and ambitious. Her flaw is that she’s too self sacrificial. She almost fell off a cliff trying to find information and ran into a collapsing building to save the magic.
They are not the same!!

God yes. I hate girlboss Cinderella. People keep complaining about, Hollywood hears and then they wonder where Amazon Prime Cinderella came from.
Also, Cinderelmo and Hey! Cinderella is more mature than it.
Tumblr media
You got it! Oh boy oh boy, that Amazon cinderella...
Honestly, beside it getting the classic 'hollywood' spin, the biggest crime of that movie was to have the comedic chops of Romesh Ragnathan, Doc Brown and James frikkin Acaster...and somehow make them unfunny.
How do you make James Acaster funny? His entire comedic persona causes people to cackle.
Oof.
But, yes, you are so right, a classic esample of the 'girlboss' makeover.
I could do a whole post about that film, but instead I really recommend you check out this Youtube Video:
'Quriky' main character that comes off quite cringe.
Shoved in one-liner feminist statements with no thoughtful embedding in the story. No real thoughtful overarching message other than. Yay! Women can do stuff!
Literally no reason why she gets a fairy godmother. No kind act, thoughful act, or even selfless act precedes this. That is not to say that one needs to be good to be helped, but it completely gets rid of all agency that Cinderella has in forging her own escape/happily ever after.
There could be a lot mroe said on this topic but i would really recommend watching Modern Gurlz Youtube Video on this adaptation.
Ugggh, hollywood 'girl bossification' of stuff is just...

While I'm here in a weird moment of influence. To those who are (or are also) following me for my fashion reblogs, I would just like to boost up one of my favorite fashion youtubers Bliss Foster. He's honestly so underrated and through his videos not only has he given what I believe to be a more critical analysis on Fashion Design, but he has also made it in a way that's layperson friendly. He's a legit fashion critic and he first came into my radar because he uploaded videos on the latest Paris Fashion Week in 2022.
While other fashion youtubers such as Mina Le and Modern Gurlz do discuss storytelling elements in costume design. Bliss discusses how a fashion designer implements story telling in their runway shows and collections, which I always thought was just "make sure the outfit is on theme" rather than what it actually is "This outfit represents how we first enter my dream, then the next one represents how it all became chaotic, and this last one shows how I woke up from it."
He also discusses other issues related to the fashion industry such as fast fashion, what is considered copying and/or plagiarism in fashion, and when is it an homage or an inspiration.
He is also the first fashion youtuber who has made me want to watch runway shows with him. On my own I usually skip the runway shows since I could just pick and choose outfits from the pictures. But if he's with me, giving analysis over details that I hadn't noticed before, then I would gladly watch one with him (even on menswear when it doesn't affect me at all).
He honestly deserves more subscribers on youtube and if you want to check out one of my new recent favorites its this vlog video on the KidSuper fashion show.
