So my bài viết is written in direct response to this girl's bài viết hence the use of 'you' and 'your'. I found this bài viết to be very offensive so I analyzed it word for word and responded.
And the danh sách goes on. The girls of the Winx Club have tiny little spindly arms and legs – which is what beautiful looks like – and wear skirts and dresses so ridiculously short that, if they were to bend over, bạn would see their entire vagina, even if they were wearing underwear. I have interpreted this as an example of them displaying their sexual prowess. Because all boys tình yêu legs, they have to hiển thị as much leg as possible. What’s more, bạn are not allowed to be fat, for fear of insult:
First of all none of them ever đã đưa ý kiến that ‘little spindly arms and legs’ is what beauty looks like, I’m sorry bạn interpreted that way. I don’t know if anyone mentioned this yet, but Winx is an Italian cartoon the drawing style may be different there. Not to mention the whole ‘you gotta be skinny’ message comes from over-analyzing shit that wasn’t meant to be over-analyzed. I started watching Winx when I was about 8 and I never thought of trying to be that thin because of a show, in fact it went right over my head. So if sending out bad messages to young girls is your concern, well shit, they don’t even notice it. And I speak from experience. Trust me; most of them are just there for the glittery wings and magic. Plus I don’t watch a hiển thị based on how thin hoặc fat the characters are. About the skirts, that’s also bò đực, con bò, bull shit, Winx is no porno bạn don’t see any vaginas there, sorry to disappoint. They do a lot of fighting and never exposed themselves in the manner bạn claim they do. Again your interpretation is incorrect as they don’t even have skirts that short. And again this is a big over-analysis trust me I know, I was in high school English, a place where all the things are over analyzed. Since bạn seem to be a người hâm mộ of over-analyzing though, allow me to over-analyze your comment; I interpreted your ‘all boys tình yêu legs’ as a sexist remark. Not all boys are that easy to turn on, not all boys are overly sexual. And again the fear of being fat is not an issue in Winx. None of them have ever đã đưa ý kiến that being overweight is not okay. Just because they are thin doesn’t mean they think being fat is bad. I know a bunch of skinny people who don’t pick on heavier people. And then there’s the fact that society itself, even without Winx, is already obsessed with weight loss and not gaining weight so (playing bạn yêu thích over-analyzing game) the Winx girls just mirror society’s already obscured standards, if even. Because think about it, do bạn know anyone who actually wakes up and says “I think I want to put on 30 thêm pounds today.” I don’t know many. That being đã đưa ý kiến the Winx aren’t promoting anorexia, they are simply like every real person who wants to stay healthy.
Musa: Narrow passageway, plus-size fairy? Not good.
Stella: Plus-size fairy?! That’s not very nice!
Bloom: We got you, Stella!
Musa: And I didn’t mean anything bởi calling bạn plus-size.
All I can say is, where the heck did bạn get this dialog from? Damn what hiển thị were bạn watching lol? I think all of us những người hâm mộ would have remembered if this was actually said.
Another important facet of this delightful hiển thị marketed at young girls is the characters’ incredible dependency on their significant others (who, 100 per cent of the time, are big, muscular and manly):
Not true at all the Winx girls are actually very independent. If bạn actually watched the hiển thị bạn may have heard the line ‘girl power save the day’ in the theme song. If bạn even had the attention span to make it past the theme. If bạn watched episode 7 (pretty sure that was the one) Tecna and Musa sassed off Riven for wanting them to stay out of the way and proceeded to take down the minator infesting their school. In episode 8 ngày of the Rose Bloom spilled a hoa pot of water on Riven for making a sexist remark. They also traveled to a desolate planet to save the universe, they boys were not present for that until the last minute. Long story short they do so much shit on their own that it out weights the few instances where they relied on the men. And even so, I doubt that the message was one about dependency issues, thêm so one about team work and gender equality since the hiển thị is female dominated and the men needed some time to shine. I also specifically remember Icy responding “It’s not like we’d want to socialize with these nerds anyways” after Stormy asks “Why do the boys want to hang out with these losers.” This being đã đưa ý kiến I do believe it’s an toàn, két an toàn to say the witches had no interest in the men at all.
Brandon: bạn look beautiful!
Princess Stella: bạn saying that makes me feel beautiful!
And what of this dialog? Doesn’t everyone tình yêu a good compliment from their significant other every once in a while? Don’t lie, bạn enjoy a good compliment. That above is not being dependent on a lover to feel beautiful, that is a way of thanking someone for a compliment and setting a romantic mood.
Every episode, flying around in their short skirts, the Winx Club prevent a horrible tragedy from occurring. But they always end up in the arms of their men. In one episode I watched, a Winx Club fairy refused to help save the world because she was worrying about what her boyfriend had to tell her later that day. She proceeded to be royally bothered at her Những người bạn for not caring about her and her boyfriend; because her Những người bạn had to, like, save the world. bạn know how it is.
That is again, bullshit. How many episodes did bạn watch? Just episode 4? Because that was the only one that they really relied on the boys. Every other episode with the boys in it was either the Winx helping the boys hoặc the Winx working, as equals in strength, power, and say, to defeat the enemies. Season 1’s finale had Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Stella fighting Darcy and Stormy and Bloom fighting Icy all alone, with no aid from the men at all. In fact the men took on the easier task of fighting in the background with everyone else. And the Winx whooped ass. The only reason they ended up back in the arms of the boys is to get a thank God you’re alive, congrats on saving the world hug/kiss. And let’s not forget Flora was single until halfway through season 2. In the episode ‘Last Resorts’ the Winx came up with the plan to take down the Trix and the boys merely assisted. thêm often than not the Winx are saving the men and/or are in charge of them. Way to pick the worst character on the show. Bloom is a wimp. Bloom is weak. Just because one character is a royal f*** up doesn’t mean they all cast the world aside for silly things. And bạn just admitted that the other Winx didn’t care because they realized they had bigger problems.
The dependency on boys is so important that even the evil witches in this hiển thị have evil boyfriends. The evil witches do their boyfriends’ bidding without question.
Can I get an ‘Aw Hell naw, bạn did not just insult the best characters’ over here! Now let’s just get one thing straight; biggest load of bullshit in this bài viết bạn typed. I don’t know if we watched the same version I did (I could imagine that RAI and 4kids were the same in this light) , because in the Winx I watched the Trix were completely single thorough season 1. The only relationship they had was Darcy using and manipulating the man. It wasn’t even real love, she was using and overpowering him and forcing him to do her bidding. LOL – Liên minh huyền thoại yup, very dependent on him of her. Hell, she even got mad when Stormy accused her of being in love. Icy would constantly mock the idea of Darcy and Riven being together, despite it’s true nature. In short, in season 1 the Trix girls simply didn’t give a shit. In season 2 while yes they had a thing for Darkar, they ended up turning on his đít, mông, ass after he ‘dumped’ them. If they are as dependant as bạn claim they probably would have been crying rather than coming back in their combined entity form and kicking his ass. An ass-kicking in which Icy yelled “All bạn did was sit around and give us orders. Now it’s your turn to take the orders.” Pretty independent if bạn ask me. In season 3 while yes they did do a lot for Valtor, they did do it with question; towards the middle of the season (after receiving disenchantix) Icy claimed that she thought something was up with him in the fact that he kept sending them out to fight in place of him, she suspected that he was afraid to fight himself. A few episodes later she confronted him and accused him to his face of being afraid. To which he shows her his true form, after that she was done. She claimed they had a bad taste in men and the Trix promptly left him to die. Even before that they questioned each other about why they were fighting over a guy because it was silly to do. Long story short, each time they got with a guy they ended up leaving him because he was powerful enough to meet their standards. Season 5’s Icy and all the characters just suck. I’ll give bạn leniency there, if bạn only watched season 5, I can understand your opinions, because season 5 is just crap. I don’t even consider it to be a part of the show…
Having read all this, let’s put on the cute shoes of a 12 năm old girl: what does this hiển thị tell us?
1. bạn are capable of saving the world … if bạn are a fairy.
Let’s think back to when I was like 10 and my sister 8. We never thought that at all, in fact we thought we could go out and kick butt because of the hiển thị and we were well aware that we were not faeries.
2. You’re not capable of happiness hoặc beauty unless bạn have a boyfriend.
Bullshit. When my sister and I were little we didn’t even think about boyfriends. We didn’t give a flying f***, and I still don’t about beauty and appearance. When we were little our joy came from shit like getting a new doll hoặc going to the park. I’m sorry if bạn rely on shows to teach bạn lessons. And I’m sorry bạn got the wrong ones.
3. Your boyfriend comes before everything, including saving the world and your best friends.
Wrong again, my sister and I didn’t have boyfriends to put before anything. And most of my Những người bạn that I watched the hiển thị with didn’t either. And guess what, they weren’t unhappy. And again that’s not even the message the hiển thị was giving.
4. If bạn are 16 and bạn don’t have a boyfriend, bạn have failed.
Welp, guess I failed, and I don’t give a shit either. I’m asexual. That being đã đưa ý kiến my many years of watching Winx didn’t teach me to rely on men. Why? Because it wasn’t supposed to. Because it never sent that message to me hoặc any of its fans. Because most Winx những người hâm mộ are smart enough to not believe everything we see on TV, because half of the stuff on TV isn’t meant to be taken seriously hoặc applied to life in any way.
5. Your boyfriend must be big and muscular and manly (and look significantly older than you), hoặc else bạn have failed.
Okay this one is completely untrue. Just because the Winx have muscular boyfriends doesn’t mean that the writer of the hiển thị is telling girls who are single hoặc have less ‘manly’ boyfriends they failed. Unless of course bạn are over-analyzing the hiển thị and looking for excuses to hate it as bạn seem to be doing.
6. Short skirts and dresses are key. Everyone must almost see your vagina.
Alright, for one, society already figured out that one on its own. And I don’t agree with that message at all. Good thing Winx doesn’t actually promote that. Nope, no vagina scenes in Winx. Perhaps bạn stumbled across some bad fanart, it happens sometimes. And since we are talking about little girls getting this message; I doubt their parents would even allow that style of dressing. And I never wanted to dress like that as a little kid.
7. If bạn don’t have the tiniest, stringiest arms and legs, you’re “plus-size” and hence not accepted.
We already discussed this; allow me to refer bạn to the first paragraph once more.
8. bạn are submissive to your boyfriend.
Pretty sure this was discussed earlier too.
9. Even if you’re evil, bạn still need a boyfriend. And to be submissive to him.
Why are bạn even worried about this, I doubt an evil 12 năm old would be watching the show. And we already discussed this one to, but since I favor the Trix I will talk about it again. The Trix didn’t need a boyfriend and they had no problem kicking their men to the curb once they were done using them. Yes, they were only with them to use them for power. Shocking right? I know it’s hard for someone who thinks the hiển thị is about male domination to believe that perhaps the evil women were just using the men for power and not actually seeking love. And when they got ‘dumped’ they didn’t cry, they didn’t give up, they simply didn’t give a shit. They didn’t even give half a shit. The Trix were not seeking male company, they sought out power and would do most anything to get it, as any real villain would. And let’s again mention that in season 1 the Trix had no boyfriends and they mocked those who did.
10. Pollution and robbers are super evil.
Well aren’t robbers evil? And isn’t pollution bad? Yeah, I would say so. I wouldn’t want some asshole taking my belongings. And I’m pretty sure the world isn’t as wholesome with all this garbage sitting on it. bạn act like getting kids to be environmentally aware is a bad thing. bạn act like teaching kids not to be thieves is negative.
I kind of feel like Winx Club tells us some horrible things. Essentially, it tells young girls that they can’t feel fulfilled unless they wear really short skirts and makeup, possess hunky boyfriends and wield fairy hoa powers. It is one thing to, as an adult, look at the facts logically and say that feminism makes sense; and yet, perhaps we underestimate how influential ti vi can be. I can’t help but think that certain ideas in women’s heads can be traced back to shows like Winx Club. Maybe, we think, it’s actually OK to only want to impress a man? Even though we are pulling off some super-cool fairy magic shit?
I kind of feel like people over-analyze hiển thị like Winx Club too much and take away messages that were never actually there. I know for a fact that búp bê barbie and Bratz are a lot worse. I know that MTV’s Bad Girls’ club is a worse influence on kids who stumble upon it. Essentially it doesn’t actually tell little girls anything about where happiness comes from. Well except for the fact that they advocate having nice caring Những người bạn that can help bạn when you’re down. Nope, Winx never sent any message about needing a man to be happy. And they certainly didn’t say that your váy needs to be a certain length to be fulfilled, because that’s ridiculous. As for the makeup, I don’t know many people who don’t already own material things that make them happy. Back to the over-analyzing game; are kids được trao stuffed động vật during early childhood to teach them that bạn need toys to be happy and to help bạn sleep? No, they are not. No Winx is not saying girls need make up to be happy. Again I have watched Winx practically my whole life and I hate makeup. If bạn wanna go there with the magic thing, then I guess you’re going to have to rant about Disney, Harry Potter, Sailor Moon, and any other magical girl show. Because supposedly they teach bạn that bạn need to have magic to be happy right? Wrong, Winx, like any other magic show, simply has a plot resolving around using magic to aid in battle and what not. The hiển thị isn’t saying that bạn need powers to be happy, that’s ridiculous as many believe magic doesn’t exist. I am 19, an adult, and I have re-watched the hiển thị many times with my new knowledge and perception and I think bạn are picking up on lessons that were never even meant to be there. bạn speak of the ideals put into bạn girls’ minds due in part to this show. But perhaps bạn should consider that these ideals were already prevalent in their minds, and they were since the dark ages. Mankind simply hasn’t completely erased gender roles. Some people undermined how influential TV is, others, like bạn over-analyze it. Gender roles have been here since time began and shows like Winx don’t advocate them. In fact Winx displays girl power and the ability to out shine a man. And if you’re children are that susceptible to influences, instead of ranting about the hiển thị online, start putting child locks on everything your kid watches.
The feminist cause is not going to prevail if we continue to present young girls with stuff like Winx Club, Bratz búp bê and those new shitty Monsterz Dollz (is that what they’re even called?). Young girls will soon become young women, and some will inevitably come to believe that seeking the manliest partner and wearing a short váy should be their highest priorities in life – closely followed bởi saving the world with magic, of course.
Again most little girls don’t even know what feminism is, moreover be influenced bởi a hiển thị to go against independence. It is at the high school age when girls and boys alike are truly presented with these idealisms and get to take a stand on it. bởi this time any notion that they got from a children’s’ hiển thị is probably cast aside bởi their new insight. I can’t speak for everyone, but as a little girl I never felt insuperior to the opposite gender because of a hiển thị like Winx meant for entertainment. I know I can’t tell people how to be parents, but I think some parents need to stop being so butthurt, stop sheltering their child, and if they feel the need to do so, stop trying to force their beliefs onto other people. Your claim that women who watch this hiển thị will ‘inevitably’ grow up seeking a masculine partner is painfully untrue, I am living proof of it. I am 19, never had a boyfriend, never wanted one, never will. And I have grown up watching Winx and occasionally playing with Bratz. My sister is the same way. And a good number of my Những người bạn too. bạn are worrying about something that isn’t. And everyone knows that saving the world with magic isn’t a priority as no one actually has magical fairy powers.
And the danh sách goes on. The girls of the Winx Club have tiny little spindly arms and legs – which is what beautiful looks like – and wear skirts and dresses so ridiculously short that, if they were to bend over, bạn would see their entire vagina, even if they were wearing underwear. I have interpreted this as an example of them displaying their sexual prowess. Because all boys tình yêu legs, they have to hiển thị as much leg as possible. What’s more, bạn are not allowed to be fat, for fear of insult:
First of all none of them ever đã đưa ý kiến that ‘little spindly arms and legs’ is what beauty looks like, I’m sorry bạn interpreted that way. I don’t know if anyone mentioned this yet, but Winx is an Italian cartoon the drawing style may be different there. Not to mention the whole ‘you gotta be skinny’ message comes from over-analyzing shit that wasn’t meant to be over-analyzed. I started watching Winx when I was about 8 and I never thought of trying to be that thin because of a show, in fact it went right over my head. So if sending out bad messages to young girls is your concern, well shit, they don’t even notice it. And I speak from experience. Trust me; most of them are just there for the glittery wings and magic. Plus I don’t watch a hiển thị based on how thin hoặc fat the characters are. About the skirts, that’s also bò đực, con bò, bull shit, Winx is no porno bạn don’t see any vaginas there, sorry to disappoint. They do a lot of fighting and never exposed themselves in the manner bạn claim they do. Again your interpretation is incorrect as they don’t even have skirts that short. And again this is a big over-analysis trust me I know, I was in high school English, a place where all the things are over analyzed. Since bạn seem to be a người hâm mộ of over-analyzing though, allow me to over-analyze your comment; I interpreted your ‘all boys tình yêu legs’ as a sexist remark.

Just because they are thin doesn’t mean they think being fat is bad. I know a bunch of skinny people who don’t pick on heavier people. And then there’s the fact that society itself, even without Winx, is already obsessed with weight loss and not gaining weight so (playing bạn yêu thích over-analyzing game) the Winx girls just mirror society’s already obscured standards, if even. Because think about it, do bạn know anyone who actually wakes up and says “I think I want to put on 30 thêm pounds today.” I don’t know many. That being đã đưa ý kiến the Winx aren’t promoting anorexia, they are simply like every real person who wants to stay healthy.

In episode 8 ngày of the Rose Bloom spilled a hoa pot of water on Riven for making a sexist remark. They also traveled to a desolate planet to save the universe, they boys were not present for that until the last minute. Long story short they do so much shit on their own that it out weights the few instances where they relied on the men. And even so, I doubt that the message was one about dependency issues, thêm so one about team work and gender equality since the hiển thị is female dominated and the men needed some time to shine.

No Winx is not saying girls need make up to be happy. Again I have watched Winx practically my whole life and I hate makeup. If bạn wanna go there with the magic thing, then I guess you’re going to have to rant about Disney, Harry Potter, Sailor Moon, and any other magical girl show. Because supposedly they teach bạn that bạn need to have magic to be happy right? Wrong, Winx, like any other magic show, simply has a plot resolving around using magic to aid in battle and what not. The hiển thị isn’t saying that bạn need powers to be happy, that’s ridiculous as many believe magic doesn’t exist. I am 19, an adult, and I have re-watched the hiển thị many times with my new knowledge and perception and I think bạn are picking up on lessons that were never even meant to be there. bạn speak of the ideals put into bạn girls’ minds due in part to this show. But perhaps bạn should consider that these ideals were already prevalent in their minds, and they were since the dark ages. Mankind simply hasn’t completely erased gender roles. Some people undermined how influential TV is, others, like bạn over-analyze it. Gender roles have been here since time began and shows like Winx don’t advocate them. In fact Winx displays girl power and the ability to out shine a man. And if you’re children are that susceptible to influences, instead of ranting about the hiển thị online, start putting child locks on everything your kid watches.
The feminist cause is not going to prevail if we continue to present young girls with stuff like Winx Club, Bratz búp bê and those new shitty Monsterz Dollz (is that what they’re even called?). Young girls will soon become young women, and some will inevitably come to believe that seeking the manliest partner and wearing a short váy should be their highest priorities in life – closely followed bởi saving the world with magic, of course.
Again most little girls don’t even know what feminism is, moreover be influenced bởi a hiển thị to go against independence. It is at the high school age when girls and boys alike are truly presented with these idealisms and get to take a stand on it. bởi this time any notion that they got from a children’s’ hiển thị is probably cast aside bởi their new insight. I can’t speak for everyone, but as a little girl I never felt insuperior to the opposite gender because of a hiển thị like Winx meant for entertainment. I know I can’t tell people how to be parents, but I think some parents need to stop being so butthurt, stop sheltering their child, and if they feel the need to do so, stop trying to force their beliefs onto other people. Your claim that women who watch this hiển thị will ‘inevitably’ grow up seeking a masculine partner is painfully untrue, I am living proof of it. I am 19, never had a boyfriend, never wanted one, never will. And I have grown up watching Winx and occasionally playing with Bratz. My sister is the same way. And a good number of my Những người bạn too. bạn are worrying about something that isn’t. And everyone knows that saving the world with magic isn’t a priority as no one actually has magical fairy powers.
