So women are upset because they’re watching shows meant for men and that it doesn’t represent their interests? Sounds like a completely self made problem to me.
And there it is, so a woman being open about how she feels about something is "a self made problem?"
Most of the media that makes it to mainstream is "for men" because of this sexualization, and the men in charge pushing it. This comic strip is illustrating this phenomenon.
And there are tons and tons of stories that aren't written for a specific sex. Avatar the Last Airbender, Owl House, Full House, all of the Marvel Movies, That's So Raven, Rugrats, and the list goes on and on.
You’re right. And just there’s a good thing there’s tons of stories that aren’t written for a specific sex. And there’re tons of stories that are written for a specific sex.
The problem is men are in control of the media that makes it to a mass audience, so this sexualization of women and "for men" writing becomes the only ones advertised and pushed to an "everyone" audience.
The other problem is that women are speaking up about it, and people like you come along saying "sounds like a self made problem." So, because they're women, their feelings are invalid to you?
Money talks? The thing women statistically make less of is what controls the media?
🥳 Congratulations, you've discovered the whole point of this comic strip!
Wait till you find out how much control the men who own these companies actually do have on what is greenlit to even have a chance to even start production to film and being seen in the mainstream.
These people be floating in the ocean saying be glad you have that water bucket over there- and there is no advertisement for the bucket. And tons and tons of influencers shitting on the bucket by virtue of it not being saltwater. Only (derogatory terms) like the water from the bucket.
Petition to make a bigger bucket fails because execs are too concerned about how the people who prefer ocean water won't invest in the freshwater bucket. When the bucket does expand a little bit the people floating in the ocean lose their minds because it might displace some saltwater.
When it comes to this guy though, judging from his profile he seems like a teenager, so there is still time to achieve media (and general) literacy.
