As I mentioned on the Monsieur Le Pew rant, Lola Bunny has been bugging me for the past few days:
But the thing is that I don't give a rat's ass about Lola Bunny herself, just that she's the victim of a recent mindset regarding female characters:
In order to empower women they must become more masculine, or lose any physical trait that makes them appealing to males. I've complained about this throughout the years, because it's a load of bullshit. The toolbag director claims that Lola was "desexualized" because LeBitch James Space Jam is a kids movie... wait, all this time the Michael Jordan Space Jam was for adults!?
He talks about grounding her, focusing on her athletic skill, that she comes from the "Wonder Woman Universe" (shit, Warner is trying to not call the DCEU by name to avoid the wrath of the cultists) and enters the "Space Jam Universe"... completely ignoring that Lola was already part of the "Looney Tunes Universe" after the REAL Space Jam.
The Looney Tunes show, where Lola was a bit of a creepy character:
The Looney Tunes show turned Lola from a competent, strong female, who talked the talk and walked the walk into a mentally unstable creepy stalker.
But, because she "was sexy" she's politically incorrect... Here's a crazy idea:
Have the other characters NOT OBJECTIFY HER!! Because look at the message they're sending kids:
If you're pretty you can't be smart or capable. Aesthetically pleasing people are lesser people because of their good looks?
If you are a girl, you must become as boy-like as possible to succeed...
So, why can't she be athletic, empowered, grounded and all the crap the director talked about AND not look like a teenaged boy who wears baggy clothes?
