...*FACEPALM*
Jun. 25th, 2008 09:21 pmThe Mayor of Whoville neglects his 96 beautiful unique daughters in favor of his emo kid SON who saves the world! HOW ANTI-FEMINIST.
Really, the whole article speaks for itself. I can't decide WHICH passage to quote from it.
( Here's some idiot passages for those too lazy to read the article )
Urm. Does this guy READ Dr. Suess? Because Jojo saving the world is exactly what happened in the book! Hell, I'd argue they did more with Jojo in the movie: Book!Jojo was a faceless slacker while Movie!Jojo liked Astronomy and you know, did something. I guess the guy stuffed his ears at the part where the Mayor's telling Horton the names of his daughters (and Horton later recites them at the end of the movie).
It's not my fault the media's obsessed with whiny teenage girls over heroines. *coughSummeroftheSwanscough* That's the REAL reason why we don't get enough Dorothys and Alices. We're stuck with Bella from Twilight and all that wish-fulfillment stuff.
It's like soccer moms who completely miss the point of The Giving Tree. I love that book, goddammit.
