The article seems to equate actual speaking time in the movie with ~women's voices being heard~. I think someone took an analogy and decide to go full literal with it and write an article about it. Disregarding context is never a great idea when looking at any story. Look at Pocahontas, damn it, she gets tons of screen time and attention and is also the only non forgettable character in the whole movie, she just doesn't speak a whole lot during it because it doesn't suit her character.

Mulan is literally a story about a woman infiltrating the army, based off a chinese opera play, in which its clearly explained that she avoids talking because doing so will blow her cover. What the hell do they want? That she bursts out monologues in her chinese girl voice at every turn about how she's totally not a woman?

And dont even get me started on their comments on Beauty and the Beast:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

“There's one isolated princess trying to get someone to marry her, but there are no women doing any other things,” Fought says. “There are no women leading the townspeople to go against the Beast, no women bonding in the tavern together singing drinking songs, women giving each other directions, or women inventing things. Everybody who’s doing anything else, other than finding a husband in the movie, pretty much, is a male.”

...Because it would totally fit the late medieval setting to have women drinking all night in taverns, singing drinking songs loudly, wielding guns and leading crazy hunting parties, right? It may be fantasy, but its partialy historical in its setting. Its like complaining about the lack of plate armored women knights in a King Arthur story.

I seem to remember some comment by the creator about that in response to how he was good at writing strong female characters where he said that he was actually really bad at writing strong female characters, but was instead good at writing strong characters that he would then randomly make female.

SS- "I read that the Earth isn't even in the right place in the solar system anymore." (Dramatic music)
AS- "There are only really two other places it could be Jordan, closer to the sun where the atmosphere would just bake or further away from the sun where the atmosphere will disipate. So *pppheew* which.. which one should.. should we choose?"

So much giggle cringe.

somehow they seem more crazy then flat earthers. they cited the lizard people guy as evidence! that was just boggling in the shear amount of WTF.

That's no moon

[BlackFlyme]

The moon is really just the sun at nighttime. It has to sleep, too.

Wow. Has a really convincing body double because I've seen a sun and moon out at the same time before.

That's the same way Ripley from Alien was created.

I think I need an IV drip or else I might genuinely die from sympathetic shame.

[Egan_BW]

You're dying? Can I have your soul?

[hector13]

Egan confirmed as Asgore.

[Egan_BW]

Nah, I'm human, just stocking up in case I find a way to absorb them.

I had a quiz in history class.
One of the answers to a question was "Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

Sounds like the kind of thing that happens on a regular basis in DF.

[flabort]

Bah. I've been eating souls since before it was cool.
