Harpospoke Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I dunno, that didn't seem TOO far off from the classic cartoons... I'm withholding judgment. Admittedly, I've been scarred by Homer Simpson and have a very negative reaction to anything that brings his type of "comedy" to mind.

AJG Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ok. So I'm watching the Thanksgiving and Xmas special to familiarise myself with these character and im wondering: This Peppermint Patty, she's gay or bi right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tiki Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Pretty sure she's just intended as a stereotypical 1970s tomboy. It's implied that she has a crush on Charlie Brown, so she could be bi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Wait... Peppermint Patty is a girl?? WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I prefer the first Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) over The Muppets (2011) *runs away to Asia to protect himself from future attacks* I agree! Alvin and the Chimpmunks 2007 is phenomenal. Anyways watched the Thanksgiving thingy yesterday and my god Pepermint Patty is a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) How the movie is being promoted overseas since not many know of the "Peanuts" brand.

Harpospoke Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure she's just intended as a stereotypical 1970s tomboy. It's implied that she has a crush on Charlie Brown, so she could be bi. My Peanuts fanboy side has to interject that PP was created in the mid-1960s. It's way more than implied by the way. She chased him for years. She calls him on the phone all the time trying to throw hints his way and gets mad at him for not responding the way she wants. edit: By the way, PP's friend Marcie also has a crush on Charlie Brown....even expressing a desire to marry him in one strip. It's dangerously close to offensive to say that a girl must be a lesbian if she is a tom-boy. My gf was a tomboy growing up and excelled at basketball. She also proves girls can love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings too. She just prefers to hang out with guys and listen to metal. She still rolls her eyes at girls that are too "girly". (even though she has quite a girly side herself) Coincidentally, I just attended a birthday party for a friend of mine who is a lesbian. While it is true that many lesbians are "tom-boyish", a sizable portion of them are quite "girly". And by the way, we all went bowling (it was a joke...but turned out to be fun). Most of them could not bowl well at all. There goes a stereotype that lesbians are more athletic or coordinated. Schulz said that he created PP as a response to women's movement and the idea that gender stereotypes weren't always true. Ironic that so many missed that point and instead aimed a different stereotype at her! (I do understand that stereotypes evolve for a reason) Edited November 26, 2014 by Harpospoke 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I feel like the tomboys = lesbians stereotype is just another side of the same sexist coin Edited November 26, 2014 by tribefan695 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I feel like the tomboys = lesbians stereotype is just another side of the same sexist coin I was watching this like "this is some pretty groundbreaking shit".
