This whole “I need someone to identify with” shit is ridiculous. I am straight, but I can still identify with lesbians on TV because we have the same interests, we make the same decisions, etc. Even though I’m a woman, I can identify with men on TV for the same reasons, similar interests, similar decisions, etc. The fact that a character doesn’t have your exact sexuality so you can’t identify with them makes you seem very close minded.

I am Indian. I don’t scream “OMG MAKE THE DOCTOR INDIAN BECAUSE I CANT IDENTIFY WITH HIM!” That’s just silly. I have a mini rex bunny.  I don’t scream “THIS CHARACTER NEEDS A PET BUNNY BECAUSE I CANT IDENTIFY WITH HIM/HER!” It’s RIDICULOUS.

Why is identifying with a character even that important? I watch TV shows for entertainment, not as a way to find someone just like me.  I like being unique. I understand how some people can feel “alone” without a TV character like them, but there are plenty of people just like you in real life, or on the internet. You can find anyone just like you.

Not being able to identify with a character solely because he/she isn’t asexual, transexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, pansexual, gender binary, etc. just shows that your sexuality is the only personality piece you have.

I love the person who submitted this

This is exactly my view on this, I mostly relate to male characters of varying races, rarely female ones and usually because of similarities in personality, humour experiences and outlook etc, the rest is just window dressing.

If “You can’t be what you can’t see” held true then we would have accomplished literally nothing as a species. Also blind people would never do anything at all.

Say you’re listening to a radio programme and a character has similar experiences and responses to yours (or how you’d like to be), views you share, communicates them perfectly and just the right kind of humour and you feel a connection but you stop yourself. Wait a second. Does this character look like me? Do they prefer to have relationships with people of their own gender? No? Then scrap that, I can’t identify with them at all!

Really you could identify with literally anyone in some way. Especially when you include such insignificant and mundane aspects like their appearance or choice in partners.

A character is not defined by what they are, but who they are.  This is why I hate seeing posts about racism in animation.

allthecolorsofdisney:

During Frozen, Kristoff is seen wearing Sami clothes and practicing a typically Sami occupation - being a handyman with a trained reindeer (although in real life, you can’t ride reindeer like a horse).

In line with this depiction, this is what Kristoff should look like adhering to what Sami looked like during the 1800s. Tan, with an Asian eyefold and black hair - because surprise! The Sami weren’t originally white! The only reason you end up with a bunch of white people when you google them is because they went through years of racial assimilation!

So there. This is what Kristoff could have been - Disney’s first male POC love interest to end up with a non-POC woman (the other way around has been done a lot, but not this.. for some reason..)

Because people are required to adhere to the practices, and traditions of ONLY their own ancestors.

Maybe Kristoff was Sami, or even part Sami, it’s never stated or even alluded to within the film.  What someone is does not determine WHO they are, and it does not mark the creators of a fictional character badly.  Frozen isn’t racist, it’s pretty damn accurate for the location.  

If you want to bash on a movie for being racist, how about you look away from Disney, and towards Dreamworks for a little bit?  Or one of Sony’s animation studios?

the-unpopular-opinions:

When it comes to the Brony fandom and everything in it, tumblr has got to be pretty hypocritical about it. All the problems they say make the fandom the worse fandom ever are near ubiquitous in all other fandoms, yet they’ve got a damnable fem-boner for beating any instance of “spaghetti” and the steretype to the forefront and going “ewwww, look at how gross this fandom is”

Idiotic fans- Everywhere, they come in all different shapes and sizes and are impossible to tell how big of a proportion of the fandom they take up. Tumblr likes to rail on Bronies far more than they do for any other fans, not even the inevitable shrieking fangirls hailing from the halls of Superwholock and Homestuck. Shit happens in each fandom and they will get called out for it. However this leads on into a later point.

R34- It wouldn’t be a rule if it wasn’t universal now wouldn’t it? It’s porn of stuff intended for kids; that’s terrible right? Then why is there porn of every other cartoon out there? Including the porn coming from active fandoms right here on tumblr? Is MLP somehow inexplicably sacrosanct from the internet? No, if it exists there will be porn of it, just tag it away to your own blogs, filter it out, don’t flip your shit like some kinda of 13 year old if you do see it, and quit pretending that the same doesn’t happen in your little fandom.

Men- Here’s the stickler, there are some plain stupid arguments that the periphery demographic somehow “stole” the original show. That’s just bollocks, firstly, there’s a near quarter of the current fandom who are straight up women, so bangs go the idea that the fandom is just full of men; Then there’s the non-binary/transgender contingent, so pop goes the idea that the fandom as a whole rejects anyone off the cis-radar. And yet, tumblr is fixated on this idea that it’s weird that grown men and boys are liking a show that’s typically built for little girls and that by watching this show we are STEALING the show from them. We aren’t, we’re contributing to the viewership numbers, surely isn’t that a good thing? A show that’s well done and has well executed morals getting recognition? And breaks the gender divide and draws in the male demographic without compromising the creators properly feminist ideals WHO MADE IT CLEAR; THIS SHOW WAS MEANT FOR EVERYONE, GENDER ROLES BE DAMNED.

But ohhhh nooooo, it’s all these eeeeeevil men watching something they’re not supposed to. Women can like whatever they want you sexist pig but not menno they need to be less valued because muh patriarchy. How dare they corrupt it even though half the staff are only men and the fandom has no say which way the show goes. Yeees, the fandom is toxic and sick unlike any otherbecause I saw this post from this popular person why do I need to see the show and fandom for myself when I can just stay here in my little dashboard because I don’t need to prove my points of the behaviour of all these men fedoras fedoras neckbeards evil reddit evil reddit MRA spaghetti they’re all the same.

Tumblr is full of hypocrites who suckle at the veritable thumbs of their own fandoms and then cry out in manufactured nausea and outrage at the possibility of something harmless but goes against their new definition of the “norm”.

There is no difference whatsoever between the “Brony” fandom and any other fandom that has, is, or will exist out there. Be it in behaviour, intention, demographic or fan created output.

You may hate the fandom, how the hell am I to stop you, entire sites do so on an ingrained basis; 4chan, facepunch, forums from here to Korea, but tumblr is the worst of them all. Even worse then 4chan. 

At least 4chan doesn’t PRETEND TO BE RIGHTEOUS.

It’s kind of hypocritical how people say that there is more to a person than race and appearance, yet continue to bitch endlessly about the fact that Elsa and Anna are white and ‘look too much like Rapunzel’ without paying any attention to their respective personalities and story arcs.

I made this because I’m sick of all the hate Frozen’s been getting on this site. Ignore the few grammatical errors. Also please don’t hate me. I just want everyone to get along and watch Disney movies and laugh and love each other and eat popcorn without making everything an issue of political correctness. 

Thank you for this and god speed on all the hate you’re gonna get v.v

thank you thank you thank you!!!

^^^THANK YOU^^^

Can we please stop bashing on Disney for this stuff and take a peek at other animation studios perhaps?

For example, when was the last time a PoC was the lead in a Dreamworks or Sony Animation film?
