    I just read the "snit" article. I love how people forget Obama is bi-racial whenever it's convenient.

    Good to know this game, which is targeted at middle-class American girls of all races, features a positive black role model...


    ...whose goal in life is to dress up pretty and cook for her man.

    @alaren: I tried looking up the relevant Family Guy clip. No dice.


    It involved Peter being taken to a stereotypical feminist training course, and basically having every bit of masculinity sucked out of him. At the end, Lois comes to rescue him, and the head of the camp blames her for Peter's chauvinism. Lois tears into her, pointing out that feminism is actually about choice, and she chooses to be a housewife.


    Hint. Hint.

    @Jonn: Yeah, that's a good episode. It's a false choice, though. My wife grinds wheat to bake our bread, makes liquid laundry detergent from scratch, hangs drywall, cooks, cleans, mows the lawn, tends our three children, is a certified childbirth educator and doula, and works out at the gym six days a week. In her spare time, she is a New York Times bestselling author.


    I'm unemployed and I take out the trash. I also play video games and read comic books. Sometimes I blog.

    @alaren: MacFarlane wasn't saying it's wrong to be a non-traditional woman, just that it's wrong to look down on people because they don't accord with your worldview. Over the course of the series, Lois has been a newscaster, supermodel, piano teacher, flight attendant, and mayor.


    It's not an either/or. It's and either/or/and.


    Now if only he could bring that type of subtlety and insight to all the politics he keeps putting in the show.

    Disney has run out of ideas, no imagination now, almost all animation has one or more scenes of dance & music. Look at PIXAR's films, all out of the box and not just for kids. Hope PIXAR can stand alone one day, not need to bare the logo "Disney PIXAR" anymore.

    @jellyfish: Pixar had the chance to "stand alone." It chose to remain with Disney.


    It's not just Disney, though. Dreamworks is rife with crap as well. Good writers and editors are in short supply, and I think animation isn't the most attractive outlet for both talent looking for a creative project and investors looking to take risks. It's just too time consuming and costly to not go the song and dance Disney route; it's soccer mom friendly and will make it easier to have merchandising tie-ins to make money.

    @GameBuddy: it was an overly simple movie. one of the few Disney/Pixar movies where it just felt too simple. it was also overrated. Good, but overrated, not a classic by any means. The two main characters were great though

    That's because it was actually a love story. Boy likes girl, boy can't have girl, girl realizes she loves boy, boy and girl struggle through adversity to reach each other. That whole "apocalypse" thing was just a subplot.

    In my opinion, the only princess gameplay ever worth fawning over is playing Princess Peach in either Super Smash Bros. Melee, Brawl, or in Paper Mario. She's awesome.

    For the record, I think anything that has black people in it ALWAYS has to have some connection to racism. -___-; It's so annoying. Nothing overcomes stereotypes. Nothing solves racism. Nothing changes people's beliefs other than themselves.


    In other exciting news, I'm still waiting for a game with a black chick as the lead. =| We're a small demographic to cater to, huh?

    @Lainface: It'll stay that way until more black women pursue a career in game design, too. I do think Indians have it worse when it comes to representation in video games though since there are a handful of decent black female characters out there.

    For the record, I don't. And I'm tired of being told that a black character is being a "bad role model" for my race. Why do minorities have to look for role models, but white kids just get to watch a movie?
