Also, being upset over a statement saying that a team would be viewed as weak because it has too many females is not overreacting. It's called legitmate reaction to blatant sexism. Quote:
2. Everyone seems super outraged because of a ratio. There was no complaining during Go-Busters, there was no complaining during Go-Onger, but before we even knew we were getting more than six rangers people were up in arms.
It's not even like people wanting a half-and-half, just two or even three girls so 50% of the world's gender in this show about a global force of superheroes isn't represented by one individual in a token female colour. Quote:
3. So is this about the number of Rangers, or the number of female characters in general? Also, your justification as to why we can't compare to TMNT (and I assume any other team based television show or movie) makes no sense either. What about The Avengers? The girls were cool there, but were people going "Oh! This movie is sexist because there's only one girl on the team out of the six of them!!!!"?
The Avengers are a group individuals with their own histories who existed before they were a team. You cna't make Thor as girl because that goes against his history. The Ninja Turtles are all guys because, back in their original comics, the gag was how generic and cookie-cutter "gritty" heroes were. Hence why all the turtles looked identical, thus needed to all be dudes. (and by extension parodying the same problem here of how few new female heroes there were back then) Kyoryuger is an all-new show created in modern times with all new characters. It has no history to abide by. No excuse. You're really grasping. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 06-24-2013 at 03:50 PM.. |

So progress is how many girls we have on a team? Is the genre progressing when we finally have three males and three females on a team? Are we progressing even more when there are four girls and two guys? I don't get this. It's a boys show. Is Pretty Cure more progressive because they're all girls? Or does the ratio matter there too so we need more guys on there to make things better?

If you actually bothered to read what I said, you'd see what I mean. Quote:

Like seriously, look at what you're saying. You're defending, practically advocating, the almost zero woman presence in this show. |

It's really hard to reply to you when what you're saying isn't even a thing.
If you actually bothered to read what I said, you'd see what I mean. It's very simple. Just have more girls. Just have MORE THAN ONE at the bare bones. One female in a show where the heroes are part of a worldwide effort is bullshit. Like seriously, look at what you're saying. You're defending, practically advocating, the almost zero woman presence in this show. It's like there's a quota for girls for some people. Kyoryuger is a fantastic show, and frankly, the one female ranger in it is one of the coolest in years. I don't know why people have to be so butt hurt like we have to have X amount of girls for every number of guys. It's stupid. Aren't we supposed to be having fun here? Doesn't seem like it.

Especially when there's eleven heroes and only ONE of them is a girl. Quote:

I thought of something while watching the new episode of Kyoryuger. I think Matrix brought up the question of how would they handle only one female Ranger when this finally comes to the states. And the answer is right in front of us. They'd handle it like they handled it in the past.
By making one of the male Sentai in the series into a female Ranger for the adaptation. Saban's done it before. Trini, whatever name was in Time Force. Which ones they make female I have no honest idea, but my hope is Gold. Be nice having the first female Sixth. |
