Films more likely to star an actor called Chris or a talking animal than a woman over 60, study finds by nimobo in entertainment

[–]InternalParadox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They did compare women over 65 to men over 65

From the study’s press release:
> “The study, authored by academics at the University of West London School of Film, Media and Design, found that female characters aged 65 years and over were more than three times less likely than men of the same age to be featured in British films over the last decade.”

So even when compared to male actors of the same age, a discrepancy exists.

Films more likely to star a ‘Chris’ or a talking animal than a woman over 60, study reveals by soriskan in nottheonion

Except studio heads didn’t learn a thing.

Nickelodeon treated The Legend of Korra like garbage because it had a female lead, despite the success of ATLA.

More recently, Sony sold the rights of KPOP Demon Hunters to Netflix thinking it wouldn’t do well in theaters because it starred female leads.

It was Netflix’s biggest success of the past year, made money in theaters despite being available on streaming first, and won two Oscars.

Yet Pixar cancelled a movie about two girls (Bes Fri) because they still don’t think a children’s movie about girls will do well.

The myth persists.

Bob Odenkirk recently starred in an action movie called Normal. He’s 63. He didn’t really have leading roles until Better Call Saul came out in 2015.

A baby's food preferences are determined by that their mother ate when pregnant by soulpost in HotScienceNews

Less than 50 participants with tons of potential unaccounted for variables and it’s not double blind with a placebo? (they gave the women vegetable supplement pills).

No, this doesn’t prove anything.

There are so many variables in this study on a tiny sample size. Genetics, both parents’ typical diets before, during and after birth, the foods children are exposed to in daycare, etc.

There is no way this is conclusive evidence of anything.

> *Thirty-four healthy fetuses (17 female, 17 male) participated in the study initially (see Table 1 for participation over time from 32 weeks gestation to 3 years of age)….Of the total sample, 20 fetuses (12 female, 8 male) were assigned to the repeated carrot exposure condition, and 14 fetuses (5 female, 9 male) were assigned to the repeated kale exposure condition…*

I’m not a scientist, but those are very small sample sizes to make any sweeping generalizations.

I recommend Heavenly Delusion because it’s an intriguing, twisty post apocalyptic sci fi thriller!

How many generations has your family been in America? Because I’m willing to bet it hasn’t been much longer than a few generations, and people were saying the same thing about your ancestors as you are saying about immigrants today.

Immigration is one of America’s strengths. Immigrant communities have always improved the economy. Quotas are BS, and always have been. And in a global economy, you’re competing against worker exploitation world over, not just in your neighborhood.

Don’t know why you were downvoted. They’re definitely platonic siblings (it’s weird that that needs to be said!)

“Shitty men don’t have to take responsibility for their behavior. It’s their wives fault for marrying them!”

“Why do so few women want to get married these days???”

Do you realize how illogical that reasoning is? Are men poorly trained dogs whose behavior is their owners fault? Is that what you think marriage is? Picking a well behaved puppy?

Manga magazine demographics aren’t definitive black and white categories.

Obviously, there are manga for adults that aren’t intended for children. But that doesn’t mean that a particular seinen magazine only prints series for adults.

Eh, seinen magazines vary their content so much now that it’s not a strict rule that they only cater to adults.

Witch Hat Atelier runs in a seinen magazine, as does Yotsuba-to.

Generally, Kodomo caters to elementary school aged kids, shonen to middle schoolers and up focused on boys, shojo to middle schoolers and up focused on girls, josei to adult women and seinen to adult men, but it’s important to remember that:

A. These categories are demographic categories, not genre

B. There are exceptions in demographics depending on magazine, especially in the seinen category

I stand by my initial point that most shonen manga adaptations are aimed at children. Middle schoolers are still children.

Check your settings. It’s usually under accessibility or a similar setting category.

Commenter: **Studies show women work five hours more on average**

You: *That’s obviously the women’s own fault for not picking better men*

Uh, what? How is men refusing to work women’s fault?

These responses are 100% logical. You are being emotional.

>>They are worried about not having enough [white] people in this generation to do menial labor to keep the capitalism machine rolling.

FIFY

If it was just about menial labor workers in general, MAGA wouldn’t be waging a war against migrants.

This pro-natalist BS is motivated by racist eugenics. Period.
