when i was a kid, i thought shonen heroes kind of overdid the “friendship is important” thing, but now that i’ve grown up i find myself tearing up and my heart grows three sizes sometimes when my friends call me by pet names or just do the smallest stuff for me like printing things and like… I’m sorry I doubted you naruto you were right all along my friends ARE my heart

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”

This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.

This is why I laugh my ass of whenever dudes talk about how men are “objectified” by the media too. Because 9 times out of 10, what men think is “women objectifying men” are characters like Gaston.

And Gaston is NOT a woman-driven fantasy. Gaston is a male wish fulfillment fantasy. Gaston is not what women want, he is what men want to be. He is hyper-masculinity to an extreme degree, dripping with sexism and testosterone. The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men.

While I don’t want to generalize, female fans tend to prefer a very different kind of male hero. We like the Rogers, the Milos, the Hercules. Genuinely kind, often awkward men who are sometimes vulnerable and respectful to women.

Yes, this is a generalization. I own up to that. But I think it’s important to remember that there is often VERY big difference between what MEN want to be and what women WANT in our media.

Reblogging this again because fucking this. And hell, even the muscley dudes (see: Khal Drogo, Hercules, Thor, Captain America) are loved, not because they are muscley, but because they are sweet and loving and adorable. We love Thor because his mispronounces “Hubble” as “Hooble,” not because of what he can do with a hammer.

Okay, listen, to return briefly to the idea of Gaston: Beauty and the Beast is actually the first animated Disney screen play written by a woman. Linda Woolverton, the screenwriter, got a lot of attention for creating a self-proclaimed feminist heroine in 1991, but she also had a *lot* to say about Gaston. She didn’t stumble into that villain by mistake. She crafted him based on her own experiences with men and even her ex-boyfriends, and said: “To Gaston, Belle wasn’t a person; she was a possession. And I think it’s great for little boys to see that Beauty doesn’t choose him. Not only can they look at Gaston as an example of how not to treat women, but they can hopefully be taught by the Beast, a macho guy who is comfortable with his feelings and gentleness. He could teach a lot of men, in fact, about sensitivity.“

Not only is Gaston not a woman’s fantasy, he’s literally a woman’s horror story.

Hi guys I have a serious question for anybody who could help…

So, I’m Italian and I was doing some research about the story of my grandparents who were partisans here on the Italian Alps during the Second World War. Which is a very interesting story but that’s not the point.

So, my grandmother and an other guy saved and helped an American soldier whose plane crushed, before the fascists could find him. The thing is, I can’t sadly find the name of the soldier but clearly in US they know what happened (she get a medal and a document for this from the US government so somewhere they know her name, maybe in a register or something) so I was wondering if maybe there is a way to discover who him was and if he still have any family member alive, maybe some nephews or anything? Really I have no idea where to look, from Italy it’s pretty difficult but maybe in US there is an agency or something I can contact? I honestly have no idea how to do this. If anybody can help please tell me!

I know this can seem the simplest cure, but it often causes more harm than good. there was a reason you left, there was a reason they left. you will become stronger, I promise.

Ecco, se più gente che fa solo il suo lavoro ricevesse un applauso a fine turno vi garantisco che un sacco di persone andrebbero a lavorare più volentieri.

ps. Pure un attore o un cantante fanno solo il loro mestiere.
