Why not use a cartoon to teach others a little something about equality and fairness? ((ugg, please don't find me pretentious, I'm at work ))
I wasnt really trying to make a case for how is was written, nor was I trying to give my personal opionion on how it was written/fits into this story. Just that "Lion-O did more, and so he deserves her" is gross. Basing an arguement around, .."but he did more" is imo, silly.
If she chose Lion-O over Tygra, then complaints like "...but Tygra helped her into the clericy, she should have chosen him" would be just as disturbing 0.o

Did it fail???? I can only recall one conversation between Pumyra and Cheetara, and that was at the begininng of COR. Are you talking about the OS? The Smurfette Principle seems to be a shoe in

Like I said, I agree with you, the way people said it was rude. My point is that she didn't choose Tygra freely. It is a choice by the writer. Not her. Unfortunately for what it might say for feminism, Cheetara has no choice, and her 'feelings' are irrelevent. Had the writers chosen Lion-o, that would have been 'free.'

So I guess if you're just mad at the posters, then I'm totally with you. But if you're at all talking about the show, then I semi-disagree like I said. It's a story, there are no feelings, just the story and whether it was quality or not.

I have no memory of the Smurfette principle. I'll admit I only know about the becktel test from my ex-girlfriend. Who was VERY feminist and taught me many of the concepts and terms (she was a good person). She may not have covered that part.
