~ Ｍａｃｉｎｔｏｓｈ Ｍｉｎｕｓ ~One thing that has been bothering me since watching Wreck-It-Ralph 2 and the She-Ra reboot is the realization that western media doesn't really have aspirational figures of feminine power for young girls that can't be fit into the label of "princess".
Elsewhere we have figures like witches or magical girls occupying the same space. We still use those tropes here - you can have western magical girls, for instance, but they generally ALSO have to be princesses of some kind.
witchlectical runeterialist@QuestForTori i mean, maybe a bit biased what with the "digital super coven" over here, but,,,,,, aspiring to be a witch rules, and should extremely be presented as an aspiration and goal
@QuestForTori but of course the reason witches have historically been hated is that we are a rejection of the status quo, patriarchy, and the idea that men are required for happiness. disney would never encourage girls to do something badass like that.
@anna Couldn't have said it better myself!
