shamanicshaymin1977. That was before children became jaded, and actually had a childhood. Most of those kids were boys and looked to be between 7 and 10. Can you imagine a Raggedy Ann & Andy film ever being marketed to boys between 6 and 10 today? It would be reserved for toddlers and preschoolers. And Ann would have to have anime eyes with hooker make up and bare abs with a belly ring. They’d probably drop andy all together if they hadn’t turned him into an effeminate sexually confused confidant to Ann.
From this.
Maybe I'm thinking about it a bit too much, but does that last sentence come across as homophobic to you? I mean, I'd be annoyed too if Andy was reduced to a Sassy Gay Friend stereotype (c'mon, it's OOC for him), but you say "effeminate" and "sexually confused" like it's a bad thing.
Four chapters left until I'm done with 50 Shades of Grey. Thank god.

It always weirds me out when people talk about prepubescent girls (and their toys) playing dress-up as looking slutty...it seems like engaging in the same problem they're complaining about, which is sexualizing young children inappropriately. I promise that eight year olds are not putting heavy makeup on their dolls because they want her to look like a hooker.
