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. 

Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?

Wow this guy is reaaaally behind the times.

Gaston’s not really evil, though, just overly self-confident and is terrible at rejection. He’s a fantastic character.

Roger is awesome, too, though, and unf dat animation.

Gaston is terrifying because he could be anyone. He’s misogynistic, can’t take no for an answer and thinks he can do no wrong. He’ll do anything to get what he wants. He’s a fantastic character in the sense that you really, really hate him.

I’ve never really thought about Roger but now that it’s been mentioned…

I loved watching this movie again, it was so much nicer than I remembered. And yeah, I think this is pretty good proof that girls aren’t as superficial in whom they’re attracted to. We like guys who look like real people. Sure we’ll fawn over pretty boys, but if we were using the 1-10 scale that guys apply to girls (and generally mention not wanting to date under a 7) Girls really don’t have a problem dating average looking guys. It’s not until a guy is like a 3 that looks start to factor in. And I will state that the ‘score’ a girl has can adjust her personal preferences, but in general, girls have no problem with dating less attractive men, whereas most men won’t even consider a girl he doesn’t consider conventionally attractive. (Personally, I was once relentlessly harrassed by a guy trying to date me who didn’t respect “I am not attracted to you” as an answer, yet when I pointed out to him he already knew a girl with whom he shared a great deal of interests and passions, music and a specific foreign language, who was beautiful, and totally into him he stated he wasn’t attracted to her, I suspect solely because she was overweight, and possibly because she was a woman of color. Keep in mind that he was obese, lived with his mother, to the extent he couldn’t do his own laundry, and couldn’t stay employed among many other personal defects)

A few weeks ago I was out clothes shopping with a friend. We wandered into Abercrombie because she was looking for a new sweater. Despite my hatred for the store (which has been on-going since high school) I went in and looked around. I actually found some things that I liked and despite them being “my size” (my shirt size is Large) they weren’t designed to truly fit someone “my size.” To even fit in one of their shirts I would have had to buy a XXL which they don’t make. I tweeted about how annoyed I was simply because a clothing store managed to make me feel bad about myself. This morning, this popped up on my news feed and I’m so angry about it, I needed to share. I want you all to know something- I shop at Kohl’s and Target, I love those stores (and they’re SO much cheaper!). You don’t need Abercrombie or H&M or Hollister to make you cool. You make yourself cool. I’m not going to sit here and ask you all to ban these stores- that’s not realistic- instead I’m gonna ask that you all PLEASE don’t think that you need expensive clothes to feel cool. Feeling cool comes from being yourself and always staying true to who YOU are.

Fuck Abercrombie

WELP.

Stop what you are doing.

Read those.

Right now.

I’ll wait.

If you don’t want to read, I’ll explain the key bullet points, but please read them afterwords:

This is not “we didn’t protect him enough.”

This is not “the government screwed up some random detail or accidentally let his killer loose.”

The 111th Military Intelligence had a team taking pictures of his balcony during the assassination.

They brought in a Special Forces 8-Man Sniper Team from the 20th.

Memphis Police withdrew their regular protection detail from him.

A jury of 12 people, six black and six white, found the United States Government guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.

YOUR GOVERNMENT. MY GOVERNMENT. THE GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE, SHOT AND KILLED DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING. And the media never reported the case.

MLK was ASSASSINATED. By a government YOU PAY FOR.

I hate those posts where someone tries to pressure you into reblogging. I almost never ask you to reblog.

This shit is important.

Reblog this. I don’t care what kind of blog you have. I don’t care what you normally talk about.

Reblog this.
