Nice try, but no. I'm interested to see how you would translate that.

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.

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.

Go-Onger had two girls. And yet again, I don't really give rat's ass what it was like back then. I'd like to think we're progressing with time, not regressing. Whatever series did or did not have a certain amount of girls means little compared to Kyoryuger that has TEN males to ONE female.

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.

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!!!!"?

You see, the reason your comparrisons don't make sense is because those other teams origins are what determin the genders of the characters. You're bringing up teams created under COMPLETLEY different circumstances.

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.
