Every woman in every Disney/Pixar movie in the past decade has the exact same face

So when I saw this picture for the new Pixar movie Inside Out,

at first I thought the characters were three women and two aliens, but after seeing the trailer I realized the purple and red things were supposed to be dudes. After tracing their faces, I figured out why I was so weirded out: 

The two male characters have extremely distinctive face shapes, while the three female characters basically have the exact same shape; round with a small nose.

Now everyone has read about the Elsa/Anna/Rapunzel face debate, but I wanted to see just how far this face thing went. And boy does it go far.

I took pictures of both male and female characters from recent Disney/Pixar movies:

And then traced both of them. Look at the diversity of male face shapes:

AND THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING RIDICULOUSNESS THAT IS SHOWN HERE:

WHAT

THE

FUCK

Just take a second to scroll up and look back at the original pictures in case you think I’m joking. 

Apparently every Disney woman is a clone/direct descendant of some primordial creature with huge round cheeks and a disturbingly small nose, because there is no other explanation (yes there is(it’s lazy sexism)) for the incredible lack of diversity among these female faces.

DISNEY.

WHY DOES EVERY WOMAN THAT YOU HAVE CREATED IN THE LAST DECADE HAVE THE EXACT SAME FACE SHAPE? AND DON’T TELL ME IT’S BECAUSE WOMEN ARE HARDER TO ANIMATE. STOP ASSUMING EVERY WOMAN HAS A ROUND BABY FACE AND A SHORT CUTE BABY NOSE. YOU CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. 

TL;DR: Boys in animated movies have faces that are square, round, skinny, fat, alien-looking, handsome, and ugly. The only face that girls get to have is some round snub-nosed baby face. That’s not right.

I lined up the noses once more to drive home a point.

This is what annoys me most with Disney/Pixar. It reinforces the idea that men can be charismatic in various ways, but women need to conform to one narrow model to be considered beautiful. 

[bananonbinary]

dreamworks often has this problem too (look at the women in httyd) which leads me to believe animators genuinely find noses and chins as a concept unattractive. which is just. really weird. we’re headed towards a platonic ideal woman where her face is completely flat

[roseverdict]

BEHOLD

THE “IDEAL” WOMAN

Still Angry About Donna Noble’s Fate

When I watch the end of season 4, and Donna’s reappearance in The End of Time, I get not only depressed, I get angry.  She had such an incredible story arc, and there was so much within herself that she hadn’t been able to discover until she met the Doctor.

We even see her change quite a bit just from the beginning of The Runaway Bride to the end.  She’s realizing that there’s so much more out there.  She faces the Racnoss Empress with bravery, even though I’m sure she’s scared out of her mind.  She puts herself in front of the Doctor, a man she hardly knows, when the Racnoss Empress orders the robot Santas to fire on the Doctor.  She makes sure the Doctor gets out safely, and she encourages him to find someone, because she knows he needs that.

Then when she reappears in Partners in Crime, she’s been spending time investigating unusual occurrences, bluffing her way into businesses, asking the perceptive questions, and showing so much initiative that she likely wasn’t using before.  She’s been persistent because she’s so determined to find the Doctor again, even if it seems like a really long shot.  And when he’s panicking, thinking that he won’t be able to stop the parthenogenesis, she just calmly asks “Doctor, tell me.  What do you need?”  And she has just what he needs, a second capsule, which she had swiped while in the Adipose Industries office earlier.

She was one of the most tenderhearted companions we’ve seen, possibly the most, and that was already within her.  It didn’t just suddenly grow because she’d met the Doctor.  It was her compassion and her tender heart which caused her to be desperate to warn the people of Pompeii, to beg the Doctor to “just save someone,” to want to hear the song of the Ood but be unable to bear it when she did.  We saw time and again how Donna could empathize with other beings, both human and nonhuman.

She was smart, too, even though she’d been made so often to feel like she wasn’t.  She noticed things that the Doctor didn’t and could evaluate them from a different set of knowledge and experiences.  Things like the empty personnel files at Atmos, and the dates through the tunnels on Messaline.  

She stood up to the Doctor in ways Rose and Martha hadn’t.  She wouldn’t let him push Jenny away but told him that she’d be there with him.  She stood alongside him in the difficult decisions, right from the start, placing her hands with his on the lever that would turn Pompeii to ash.  She took on the burden with him.

There’s was so much brilliance within her, and she lost it all.  It’s still there, but for some reason, Donna can’t seem to access it again.  Even though Alternate Donna never met the Doctor in Turn Left, she still started to push for more, and ask questions, and find courage within herself.  She was compassionate towards others and stood up for other people.  So she was capable of those things, even without the Doctor, when there were catalysts.

I hate that Russell T. Davies took all that away from her and left her in an even more superficial state that she was in before, seemingly incapable of real growth.  If Donna can’t recover her memories (and she totally could, because it’s sci-fi and they could definitely find a way to explain that), I wish that he would at least have shown us a Donna who still retained a sense of self-worth, who believed in herself and had enough encouragement from a changed Sylvia and from Wilf to find purpose in her life and to be in a better place.  Instead, she was married off to Shaun Temple, who didn’t make much of an impression other than a nice guy who was a dreamer and didn’t work steadily, and given a lottery ticket so she wouldn’t have to worry about money.  That was tremendously unsatisfying.  We should have had a glimpse of the brilliant Donna that she always had within her, and something to show us she would find her brilliance once more, in her own way.

I love Donna and think she’ll always be my favorite companion, and Ten/Donna my favorite TARDIS team.  But I don’t think I’ll ever get over her ending and how crappy it was.

I know you’re still a good person, Five. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have risked everything coming back here to save us all.

My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.

I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”

He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral

And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it

I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning

every year after you turn 17 you get further away from being the age of the dancing queen and that’s my least favorite thing about growing up

[saint--claire]

exCUSE ME.  DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF A WOMAN WHO’S CONCERNED ABOUT BEING TOO OLD TO BE THE DANCING QUEEN??

Fuck your age, put on your high heeled boots and a pair of overalls and do Meryl Streep proud.

You are the dancing queen.

[kyraneko]

Hot take: Seventeen is the age at which you get crowned the Dancing Queen.

Being older than that isn’t years away from being the Dancing Queen, it’s how many years your reign has lasted.
