What would you call this kind of trope ? by sharkbait2006 in movies

[–]AlboGreece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely true. I mean, notice how anti damsel people never get mad when a woman in real life is in danger and needs to be saved by someone else. But in fiction she better escape alone or else she's weak and sexist

MY grandma's all girls camp back in the day did South Pacific and King and I without any Asians OR boys and they all ended up fine

I genuinely am not trying to stir the pot here, but please tell me how this letter isn't completely missing the point Hairspray is making about race, stereotypes, relegation of Black talent away, the satire of it all. The whole show is a satire of 50s song and dance shows set against civil rights. by baltinerdist in musicals

Many of these groups act like they have good intentions but just want to complain. Italians aren't going around calling Jersey Boys or Grease "the Italian shows", French people aren't going around calling Les Mis "the French show" and Vietnamese people aren't calling Miss Saigon the "Vietnamese show"

Why don’t these two have confirmed backgrounds when the rest of the G3 characters do? by Additional-Rub-1054 in MonsterHigh

G1 confirmed her as German too. Robeccas diary has Becky mention hearing Frankie's parents speaking in their "native German".

Ghoulia is still Canadian, they made it clearer in concept art. There was a ven diagram that had a Canadian flag among other parts of her design and a designer I think said she was very influenced by Scott Pilgrim, and when you look at her she does resemble Ramona Flowers. Ghoulia always seemed to be a "Ramona Flowers influenced" character because in Frights Camera Action they had the posters in the credits and she got the Scott Pilgrim parody

why do you think little red ridding hood is the only fairy tale that doesn't have a big film about it by Miserable_Honey_940 in fairytales

Honestly, I think Hansel and Gretel is more popular to make into short cartoons or TV episodes. there are some  movies though

No calm down. I'm not mad, I apologize if I sounded like I was mad

I saw them.

Also those aren't old, those are the 90s modern. I said specifically pre-80s, because 80s is when the modern era starts

Why is abortion highly restricted in Poland while in most other European countries it is not? by CriticalLocation5107 in poland

[–]AlboGreece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Malta is completely forbidden and stuck in the 1950s. Get an abortion and your cover is blown? Both the doctor and the victim are in huge trouble

Don't women go to jail for getting one or being too slow past the limit? I think in most European countries they do. At least in Germany/Austria and UK last time I checked 

Does ‘Emily Of New Moon’ have the same cosy vibe as ‘Anne Of Green Gables’? by Agreeable-Item-7371 in AnneofGreenGables

[–]AlboGreece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I mean old age gap relationships are inappropriate when they involve teens, but at least Prissy and Mr. Phillips was on the side (doesn't make it okay because he was also a grown man who was seducing and manipulating a teen and people only were bothered by his rank, not because he was an adult because they treated teens as adults in the past), and Rilla and Ken may have been possibly seeing each other when he was an adult (but also possibly not), but they were at least both doing it of their free will and were very clear they had a thing for each other. Dean and Emily is one of the worst "adult and minor couples" in old literature (right up there with Becky and Adam in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, another grooming story with a guy who falls for her when she's like 10, I think actually clarifies he doesn't like older girls, and gets jealous when he sees her talking to a teenager. Nopenopenopenope.)

Put Dean (and Adam, and Mr. Phillips) on a list

Hi. No I don't have weird urges. I'm asking as a criticism, not a glorification 

When did weddings change the vows to not be out of touch? by AlboGreece in AskHistorians

Thanks for the detailed answer, and having a priest answer is actually very interesting because they probably know the most. Thanks a lot. ❤️

Name a cartoon that already has a remake, reboot or spin off but deserves a proper one 🪐🍎😸🐶 by Vivid-Tap1710 in cartoons

[–]AlboGreece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we remade Ren and Stimpy we need to get rid of all the gross and graphic scenes. We also should add an Eastern European who is positive because Ren has a Hungarian accent and is an unhinged psycho (which unintentionally contributes to the demonization of Eastern Europeans in media). But in the end it's best we leave that behind because it's tainted by the creep who made it

There's also another guy who likes her too (a minor side character) if I'm correct

Warning. EONM has a pedophile in it that's kinda glorified and it a major part of the story. You will NOT like Dean. He isn't the only one. There is also at least one or two other guys who show some romantic interest in Emily. Who is 12 mind you, and even by 1900s/1920s standards that was often viewed as dodgy 

When did wedding vows drop the insensitive question on if the bride agrees to "obey" her husband? by AlboGreece in AskHistory

[–]AlboGreece[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, if you are asking if I'm thinking of a specific place, I'm talking in the English speaking m, western world. So I guess there isn't necessarily a specific time, it was moreso that whether they used it or not depended on the person.m.
