Ooh I wanna do the survey too.

1. Growing up, were you able to enjoy movies, games, shows ect. Where the main character was someone you could relate to because they were the same gender (probably race too)? Think about how many you found relatable as compared to those you didn't.

Because of the same gender/race? Never. That would be weird.
I remember one of my favorite characters as a child being Kari from Digimon. That one episode where she had a fever but she did her best and didn't tell anyone and worked so hard despite being so burdened... I know a little cliche when you're not 8 any more, but it was heartwarming! Plus it was cool how Gatomon just rocked her champion form all day.

I also quite liked DBZ Gohan, was amused by Brain from Pinky and the Brain, and had a slightly shameful enjoyment of Sailor Jupiter (don't tell my brother I watched that crap show!). So uh... I guess by virtue of what was on I ended up mostly interested in Japanese characters, with it being a tossup between male or female.

All stories are about humans. All of them. Even the ones about lizards or elves or whatever are really about humans. If someone can't relate to a fellow human because of sex/race (even species!), then they're the oddball.

2. Also growing up, were you taught to stand up for yourself and not allow anything to get in your way? Or were you taught to look pretty and how to maintain the household, because that's what attracts a partner that will take care of you.

The former. The latter is actually shameful, and nobody should be focusing their efforts on looking pretty enough to get someone else to do their work. Nobody in my family was raised to mooch as far as I'm aware.


Didn't see Ghostbusters. Not much of a moviegoer.
