Male Characters in ABS and Dora and Friends
2 weeks ago
General
Regarding Angry Birds Stella (the animated series based on the spin-off game of the same name) and Dora and Friends Into the City, I noticed some fairly big similarities between the two. Both star a majorly female main cast with one token male character who is either an occasional dumbass or a naive child. Not to mention that the Angry Birds girls are pretty rough when it comes to fighting the male villains and minions, including handsome pig. And yet Gale, the one who LITERALLY CHOSE TO LEAVE HER FRIENDS FOR A LIFE AS QUEEN OF THE PIGS AND NEARLY DESTROYED THE ECOSYSTEM OF AN ENTIRE ISLAND TO FULLFILL UNEARED WEALTH gets spared from permanently becoming a gold statue even after almost getting Stella and her friends killed. It just seems like some sort of misandry that slips under people's radars. I'm pretty sure these shows would get way more hatred and accusations of sexism if the characters' genders were swapped. Just saying.
