#rhys-ravenfeather signing off #funnily enough the cartoon in particular i was thinking of earlier today when i thought of this was a more modern one #*coughPAWPATROLcough* #but yeah real talk--i know the smurfette principle thankfully has started to die out more in recent years #and THANK GOD for that because i absolutely HATED this trope as a kid -___- #and yes that is pretty much the main reason i decided to have benny as the only boy among the kid characters in oto #and yes i also know there were other characters like sailor moon that reversed the dynamic #but it still really irked me when i'd watch a cartoon with a team that was mostly made up of boys and just ONE girl #and her entire character was just 'girl' #the only real exception i can think of off the top of my head is rescue rangers--gadget WAS the only girl on the team #but she was the inventor instead of just 'the girl' #welp i went off on a tangent about something that's probably pretty unimportant in the long run heh #back to my usual blogging
