They make so many cartoons that empower girls. Are there any

We did, it's called the eighties

>>92089238
>Tfw because feminists bitched about "toxic masculinity" we can't have anymore big, buff, take no shit heroes with big ass swords and guns

I hate SWJ/feminism2.0 as much as the next guy but most cartoons are empowering us op, and I think most of us can agree with that.

>>92089148
HE-MAN!

>>92089238
>>92089291
But weren't most of those cartoons kind of gay? Did anyone really think He-Man was a badass?

>>92089313
Most male characters in cartoons are stupid and used as butt monkeys.

I had a similar discussion with a friend of mine who loudly questioned in a public discussion "Where's white history month? It isn't fair!".

Imagine you are a child, with parents who love you and buy you toys. And you love Transformers. You have seven of them, to be exact. You've got Optimus, Megatron... hell, you even have Devestator in there as one of 'em! You're a pretty happy kid!

One of the kids in your neighborhood recently lost his mother and his dad is going through some pretty intense (and expensive) chemotherapy. He doesn't have any Transformers because he can't afford them. He's not quite as happy as you.

But then his birthday comes around, and your parents decide to do something nice for him. "I know!" they say, "We'll buy him a gift!" And they buy him a Transformer.

"WAIT!" you say, "Where's my Transformer?".

"You have seven already, little Anon, and your birthday isn't for-"

"NO! You bought him a new toy, you have to buy me one too or it isn't fair!"

Your parents exchange a meaningful look. They've raised a child without empathy, and at that moment, their souls die a little bit. The idealistic fire within them has been snuffed out. They've failed the world, each-other, and you.

>>92089313
Who the fuck looks at someone like Steven and thinks "yeah, I totally want to be that overly emotional and effeminate fatty?"

>>92089374
In satirical shows, sure. There are plenty of male characters who are well developed, rational, and genuinely good characters.

>>92089413
Where the fuck did I say Steven universe? Where? you just automatically assumed I'd say that when I hate that whiny bitch. Fuck off nigger.

>>92089388
>Where's white history month? It isn't fair!".
There's like 4 of them.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting white history month to be a thing.

Also, why not also throw in Latin History Month and Asian History Month while we're at it, what makes dindu's more special than them?

>hundreds of pieces of media that cater to empowering boys more than girls since the 50's
>girls started getting shows that empower them and make them feel important rather than a sidekick within the last decade
>"MUH GENDER INEQUALITY!!!"

Fuck off, dude. Boys had people like He-Man and fucking Mr. T to look up to and idolize, they've even made an animated series of the latter and included a white boy as a sidekick so most kids relate with and identify is.

Go back to /r9k/ or whatever shithole you came from.

>>92089388
Where are the seven gender-inverted versions of the OP video?

Boys don't need to be empowered. If you're a boy and don't feel empowered there's just something wrong with you.
>>92089543
White History Month is every Month but February

>>92089441
Other cartoons are even worse.

>>92089388
Wow that analogy is totally offpoint

>>92089148
at least the characters seems fuckable

>>92089388
This is a fucking shitty analogy

This is implying that all white people have much more than black people by the basis of their skin

>>92089543
You really have no idea what Black History Month stands for, do you? You think it's just about black people or some shit? Does giving a month to recognize the efforts and progress black historical figures made to change the United States, and the entire world, for the better hurt your pride or some shit?

I don't even know why I'm bothering with someone as uneducated and ignorant as you, but I at least know that you'll just double down on your backward mentality instead of owning up to your dumbass comments.

>>92089700
Uh... they do? An upper-class black man is more likely to get pulled over and harassed by the police than a lower-class white trash, even if the former drives a nice BMW and the latter drives the most banged up Ram pick-up truck from the late 90's.

>>92089700
>>92089677
Obviously my analogy requires all of America's various races to merge and mutate into a colossal Tetsuo-esque flesh nightmare that enjoys Transformers. Duh.

>>92089543
Because buying Transformers for all kids in the neighborhood would get expensive.

>>92089713
But he's right, the symbolic meaning is sort of undone when it's just singling out black people for the month. White people don't have a month, their historical figures are just celebrated as the years go on.

>>92089576
Where are all the songs about how awesome boys are?
Where are all the episodes where the boys and girls have a competition, and the boys win at everything?
Where are all the messages about "toxic femininity" and the like?
(I could think of other questions, but it would take all day)

YOU might see He-Man and Mr. T as some kind of empowerment symbol. That's your interpretation. At no point have any of those characters' respective media had explicit messages about how boys are superior to girls.

Oh, and
>hundreds of pieces of media that cater to empowering boys more than girls since the 50's

Even if your assertion WAS accurate, real life is not a floating timeline. Today's kids don't have psychological memories of what existed decades ago.

>>92089388
All of this, anon. Exactly all of it is right.

>>92089791
It also requires a white history month then for white people to want an extra one because black History month.

Nah, it's just that my country doesn't have black history month

>>92089388
That's circular reason. The analogy would make sense if you were ALREADY proven right, but you aren't.
You're basically saying "white people don't need a white history month because white people don't need a white history month".
I don't even think there should be a white history month, just pointing out the analogy is utterly stupid.

>>92089800
I don't think anyone here is arguing that shit where girls win at everything for being a girl is very good either

>>92089799
You fags literally have 11 months of the year left, why are you so stingy about one month dedicated to people who have faced insane amounts of prejudice for centuries and are still facing prejudice now?

I hope his parents killed themselves rather than trying to teach him anything. Maybe he'll get lucky and have a friend passive aggressively make a bad analogy in the future.

Also fuck you not every white person is a sociopathic toff

>>92089853
They literally do not.
They figuratively have 11 and that's just inferred by nonwhites who imagine some kind of white circlejerk whenever they leave the room.
>>92089920
It's not unfair no one should have a month and black figures should just be celebrated like they were regular fucking Americans. Just give me a peanut day.

>>92090148
>Feminists think that men merely existing is patriarchal oppression
I know that's supposed to be a meme, but it's shockingly accurate. The mere existence of a (perceived) strong male character is equivalent to a song shouting "GIRLS ARE AMAZING AND SUPERIOR!"

>>92089441
you specifically said cartoons you wall staring preschool-tier cunt. it's the same scenario in the case of about 90% productions these days with male characters oftentimes being downplayed in favor of some ninny shitter getting her way through most issues without the least effort.

at least pretend you gauge the important parts of a sentence before you go full white knight, I'm sure even someone like you can pull that off.

>>92089576
When's the last time you saw a kid's cartoon with a brawny main hero?

>>92090440
If there was one, why would it even matter? A character that you happen to like isn't the same as a song, episode or even entire show about how awesome your gender is.

Also... how the fuck did "brawny hero" become associated with male empowerment? The point of empowerment is to subvert stereotypes, not adhere to them as much as possible. By that logic, the overused fairytale princess is "female empowerment".

The reason girls' media feels the need to make a big deal about empowering girls is because most media DOESN'T do that.

They're responding to a need. There isn't a law that says every time someone says something nice about a girl you have to say something nice about a boy or it's somehow sexism. That's edging awfully close to arguing for censorship. "No positive female portrayals without an equally positive male portrayal! Meet all quotas or be punished!"

Instead of begging for media to pander to you, why not create something yourself?

>>92091609
Kind of ironic in that now most ALL media does that now

>>92091609
Yeah, according to YOUR INTERPRETATION of what YOU pay attention to, all media is a male power fantasy that teaches patriarchal values to boys.

Personally, I consider the "hulking He-Man" stereotype to be as much "empowering" to boys as the princess stereotype is "empowering" to girls. In fact, your logic would make just as much sense if it was turned the other way around: "it's okay to boast about how boys are superior because girls are ALREADY portrayed as perfect princesses".

There shouldn't be a white history month and there shouldn't be a black history month. When you single out "black history" it just creates a bigger racial divide. Like other people have said, they should just be included in "American History". Are a black person's struggles and achievements more important than someone of another race? If you have to ask yourself constantly if black people are being represented properly in American culture and media then you're probably thinking too much about race and inadvertently creating the divide you're hoping to fix.

What would white history month actually achieve besides forcing school kids to study more Western Civ material, on top of the majority Western Civ history they're already learning the other 8 months?

On that note, I guess I'd support white history month if it is during summer vacation.

>>92089388

How about as noble an intention as black history month is, it really isn't that meaningful.

Black history is really sub-saharan Africa. It's spent studying the same 3 fucking black americans in grade school.

All it does is reinforce the otherness, it doesn't celebrate diversity, it continues segregation and wastes everyone's time. It's a driving force for a shit load of racism.
