Because of the Simpsons, where white characters are drawn as yellow (which they did to make their art style more distinct from other cartoon shows). That's the only example of yellow people in cartoons I can think of, and it's a hugely popular show, so no big surprise that people would think yellow emojis = white

What's it like going to a school like that? Are the programs really good there? How are the people?

It was great. I think mostly because the teachers and students were all really nice people where learning (and trying) was encouraged without feeling stiflingly competitive. (No class rankings posted or anything) There weren't really social cliques, or at least they were minimal.

I never saw or heard of any bullying, which I sort of expected after my bad middle schools and from what I'd seen about high schools in pop culture and heard from other friends. It was just a good atmosphere in general and I think that was my favorite thing about it. I felt really lucky to be going there. (Graduated in 2010)

Literally the only movie on that list made by a woman had an entire cast that featured zero women.

Now kindly shut the fuck up.


There's no arguing with somebody who tries to espouse a statement as dumb as yours. As if a single movie could prove that female filmmakers on the whole don't want to make movies with women characters. It's obvious you don't actually want to legitimately think/talk about this topic, you just wanted to find a way to tell me to STFU because you don't like my opinion/points.

My sites come up immediately, my videos never really buffer. At this point I think the bottleneck for me is almost always either my computer's RAM or the server's bandwidth, but not my internet speed

This seems like a valid complaint, but I don't really see what the solution is. This seems like something that'd go both ways. If women have less dialogue, they have less of a presence. If women have more dialogue, that's playing into the gabby stereotype.

When The Towering Inferno was made in 1974, and Steve McQueen wanted to be an equal star with Paul Newman, it was mandated in the script that both actors' characters had the exact number of lines in the picture. I feel like you'd have to do that to avoid complaints. Go through the script and make sure the male and female leads have the exact number of lines. And who would want to do that?

Forcing dialog quotas would definitely make a lot of stupid scripts. The way to do it is to give women substantial roles in stories instead of trying to just pad male-dominated scripts with filler women characters and lines.

I think you would naturally see more of the right kind of female representation in movies if there were a larger female presence in filmmaking. As it is now, most filmmakers are men

Wow, I knew CE wouldn't like this when I went in, but I didn't think you guys would be this hostile about it. Can we have an actual discussion about it instead of blocking your ears and screaming "who cares?"

This is actually a pretty interesting statistic. It's undeniable that movies skew toward men when it comes to getting leading roles, the same way they skew toward white people. I think there are only a few genres of movie where women are more predominant, whereas with most movie genres, it's much easier to get a script approved and sold when it's about men.

I'm not gonna argue that the academy is sexist. I found an article from 2014 that says it's 76% male with an average age of 63, and it wouldn't surprise me if most of the male voters tend to favor movies that feature men. That's not necessarily sexist, it could just be that they find the topics easier to relate to (there totally could be sexism involved, though). I think it mostly highlights a lack of female representation more than anything else.

That said, the academy is made of filmmakers, which is a group that's disproportionately male in the first place (screenwriters, directors, and so on). So if we want to see more female representation in movies/Oscar-winners, more women should get involved in filmmaking. The fact that some of 2017's most successful movies were directed by women (Patty Jenkins, who has made the only decent movie in DC's universe so far and who is coincidentally their only female director, and Greta Gerwig, for example) will help encourage girls in the future to get into the film industry because it will help remove the stigma that it's too hard for women to become famous directors.
