who have at least one conversation,
about something other than a man or men.* (T.V tropes
)
Eh. Not mad, not really.
OFF TOPIC AND NOT RELATING TO HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE WRITING
I'm still learning a lot about feminism myself
. I don't want to come off as someone who has spent years learning about it, I still do and say problematic crap all the time. Yea, I wanted Cheetara to be with someone who supported her. I wanted to see her be with someone with whom she could feel like an equal, and I felt like any relationship with Lion-O would always be about Lion-O. In the end, if she would have chosen Lion-O and we never got to see why he would be a good choice for her, it would still be wrong to say she made the wrong choice as far as feminism goes.
ok, fair enough, then I agree.
As to Cheetara/Lion-o, I think that's a little unfair for two reasons. One, Lion-o is the main guy, pretty much anything with him is always gonna be about him, so you're basically saying he cant have a relationship on the show.
And secondly, in a 'these characters are real' sense, Lion-o is a KING (in the absolute monarch/divine right to rule sense of the word). This is something that modern social theories, especially ones about equality, can't really take into account. His world, and his people, are about him basically. He has no equal. Barring political changes that a kid's cartoon is unlikely to cover, they CANNOT be his equal. Their relationship, like every other relationship Lion-o will ever have, will always be defined by his position and his authority.
