Avatar cartoons. Yup, that's what's been going on lately. I watched them ALL. Like, really quickly cus they were so good. So good. People had been telling me for years, and I didn't listen. I was such a fool

I don't really have anything to add, but I thought this was a really interesting and thoughtful post, esp. this observation:

It would also be fair to say that putting a girl in the main, heroic protagonist role is always going to be inescapably gender-related. Like the act of doing that is a political statement. The act of doing it means you can't not deal with this stuff - and some of it will seem like you're playing into problem areas no matter which way you go, because you are, because double standards, because the world sucks.

Thanks - I'm glad you found it interesting. I do sometimes worry I'm babbling to the void. (Not that that would bother me enough to stop, of course... :p)
