I think it's dumb to complain about gender stereotypes. It's no worse then when people gripe about MLP being girly. You don't hafta demonize every single thing. Its a rigid and unhealthy mindset.Some girls like pink and dolls. Some boys like blue and sports.Sorry but I'm sick and tired of offense and outrage culture actively looking for things to complain about. Its extremely petty.
It's perfectly valid to criticize sexist stereotypes. And it's of course also ok to like something, while acknowledging there are parts that could be harmful. Ignoring these things would be truly unhealthy.No one is looking for things to be offended about, people don't work like that. Some people might just be bothered by things that don't bother you as much, due to different personal experiences. I think it's better to try and have some empathy than deciding people are unreasonable and petty. Girls liking pink/dolls and boys liking blue/sports is the social norm and not something that needs to be defended. It's those who don't follow the social norms that are marginalized.
I don't want to derail the thread and get in trouble, but if you would like to discuss our thoughts on the subject further, we can pm.
