"Girl power" done solely to appeal to straight males isn't always the best way to show "girl power"

There's nothing wrong with women being sexy, owning their sexuality etc, but often times it isn't done like that but just to give heterosexual men some eye candy.

How does a woman be sexy or own her sexuality without men ogling her as a side effect?

When a man is not creating her character to be oversexualized to pander to the male audience.

They likely will anyway, yes, I don't think anyone is denying that. The difference is in the why it is being done.

I think it is BS, it is like if a woman doesn't look like Lena Dunham, people think it can't be woke.
Take Rose for example , RJ went out of his way to make KTM look less sexy. When that is hard. Take this new Lola Bunny. In the last movie she was the best toon player and she called out people who objectified her. She was POWERFUL to the fault. And now the writer of this new space jam says that isn't powerful Fuck him.

I mean if they reboot Tiny Toons are they going to make Fifi stop hitting on people. I mean you can't have a female wanting to date someone.

And what about the character was there to develop a sexist attitude towards? Especially for children, considering they would barely care about her gender to begin with. What was so different about her compared to any "acceptable" female cartoon characters from back then?

Too hot and sexy for entitled fat women to "relate" to. Otherwise nobody actually gave a fuck about a goddamn cartoon rabbit that was mainly designed as a female counterpart to Bugs much like Babs and Buster were the "kids" version.

No one here is complaining that she isn't being over sexulized, at least in this topic people are asking how question why are people acting the old Lola was some bimbo . Also she was not over sexualized.

And also do you think people really needed a super sexy Lola bunny on movie if they just cared about getting their rocks off. People "fell for"Judy Hops and she is like a teddy bear shape.

Because society evolves, its not uncommon for things to become outdated.

The same way everyone thought Ariel was super progressive for a Disney Princess back in 1989, but now people see her for the whiny, entitled brat that she is. >_>

Lola showcased a strong, capable woman but was shackled to the outdated bombshell archetype and wasnt as fleshed out compared to her costars. As time moved on they can keep the strong, capable aspects of the character while adapting it to something that modern audiences will be more receptive to.

probably idk
