For me, I have been seeing this argument unfold about female characters not being expressive with emotions like male characters and also PoC. (People of Color)
Learned I Did
. Many express how characters that are female don't have individual expressions, looks are just overall anything. They are alike, they all say. Comparing Anna from Frozen and Rapunzel from Tangled, they both have similar to almost exact facial structure even if both characters are from different parts of the world. Well, in their stories.
. Also, historically from years before, apparently female characters are harder, yes harder, to express emotion because they still have to be pretty. Odd because Iv'e seen female with tons of emotion and why should it exactly matter?
. Usually, some say that when they do attempt to change or express for example a middle age women, like a really one. They are told that they are doing wrong and to make her more, fruitful.
Here's Some Fruit for Thought
. Now, this is all bull. Female character CAN show a lot of emotion and they should, showing emotion is a human thing and in their words. We don't look beautiful all the time expressing these emotions and that is fine though by doing so in movies, it kind of shows a lie of what girls/females are.
. For example, one of my favorite characters from "Princess and the Frog" was Charlotte la Bouff. She has some many expressions and she still is pretty but, well, her emotions and expressions are amusing but,
observe.
SHE IS LITTLE FIREBALL OF EMOTION.
My Question for You
. Can females truly be represented like ay other character instead of some sexualized, perfect human being and be shown as any other person that can laugh and snort without a care?
