lol i actually read her leaving the manuscript there as a maybe unconscious "maybe someone will discover this and realize my genius!" moment.

I don't really think her leaving it was that significant.

"We are great believers in the power of little girls," says Rob Hudnut, Mattel executive producer. "We believe they deserve the best entertainment that we can give them. [...]Illustrating the painstaking nature of the production, Hudnut recalls, "It was the job for six months of one 'Barbie Nutcracker' animator to keep Barbie's dress from going over her head. The company has made a serious financial investment in ensuring these movies are the quality that girls deserve."

xp How could you possibly have overlooked the millionth article about such a horrible person, in which that information was contained?

sorry, not the barbie division, i had to double check -- hes the president of the animated barbie movies

whaaaaat does the word "keep" mean in that sentence?? what the fuck
― goole, Friday, 20 April 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
The power. Of little girls. Because they are so powerful and not at all one of the most at-risk and least enabled categories of humanity. Secretly they've had the power all this time.
I hate people.

what is the implication there: if you don't keep a tight rein on your animating team, they're going to go softcore on barbie and you won't even know until it's on the shelf? what is this fucko even saying.
― goole, Friday, 20 April 2012 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
I think he's unintentionally admitting that barbie seriously needs to go to rehab, but like so many actresses before her, she's being propped up by "handlers" so they can continue to profit off her fame
― da croupier, Friday, 20 April 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
i took it more as the job of the animator to keep barbie's natural animalistic desires in checkxpost, yeah

though the quote from the other producer is probably better all around
Ross, Universal's family entertainment topper since 2005, and Barbie franchise owner Mattel have collaborated on nine made-for-DVD titles, selling more than 37 million copies worldwide to date, because of their shared conviction that the doll requires the highest production values.
"When talking to Mattel before the first movie, we knew that we should make Barbie a movie star," Ross says. "It had to be the same way that you would feel when seeing a Meryl Streep movie."

Making guys realize that they really do sound like that is pretty amazing, imo. I like to think I'm not too much of a douchebag, but really, the male/female dynamic has this traditional "dudes will go as far as a lady lets them" grossness to it where, even with some level of equality, the idea of men pushing things is still present.
idk, I've been in situations where I've been a bit overzealous, got kind of the "hey now, chill a bit" signal and backed off and apologized to the extent where the girl laughed and told me I was cute because I was actually taken aback and taken her seriously. Like, my apprehension of even being perceived as slightly rapey was endearing because guys are so rapey.

sorry that was a ref to men being uncomfortable with the portrayal of sex in that ep of 'Girls'
think the dress going over her head thing has to do w/ the shittiness of their physics model (so yeah, barbie's animalistic desires)
― 1staethyr, Friday, 20 April 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
I use it because it's so common now but I really hate the term "rapey".

I know, can we come up with something better? I feel scuzzy for having typed it a few times.
― mh, Friday, 20 April 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
My reasons for hating it are complicated (as is the topic in general obv) and this isn't the thread to get into it but I sort of cringe every single time I use and/or see it.

oh there's no need for a :( it's sorta more that I think it's used sometimes to describe things that aren't actually "rapey" at all. Nevermind. This probably isn't rational. I just don't like it for some reason.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 20 April 2012 19:39 (twelve years ago) link
I've heard 'creeper' used in a similar vein - instead of being rapey, one is being a creeper etc.

I think it's totally rational to not like when people use "-y" or "quasi-" to basically accuse people of something without actually accusing them of it.
