filled with wonderful heroes for all genders, ages, and ethnicities such as Sailor Moon. Japan has its problems but these new archetypes can serve as role models that we just don't have. The proof is in the pudding: https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-06-27/what-sailor-moon-means-women-all-over-world

That's a pretty powerful message of the strength and perseverance of girls (and boys). I hope the United States is able to un-Barbie itself and hop on the Sailor schooner.

I like how Sailor Moon empowers young girls, gives them someone to look up to.

Great example! Although the WW sex scene made me uncomfortable.

kimchicoug

1/18/18 2:45pm

What? The light turning off or when she mentioned she read those books?

IceBlueCoug

I liked when she was more innocent

kimchicoug

Wonder Woman is a god already so none of that applies

kimchicoug

1/18/18 3:43pm

Why is Sailor Moon blonde? I've never understood that.

TaiJuan

1/18/18 2:42pm

All women are beautiful as God created them

kimchicoug

1/18/18 2:45pm

I just never got why a culture so lacking in blondeness would make their heroine

TaiJuan

1/18/18 2:47pm

The Sailor Scouts represent all women

kimchicoug

1/18/18 2:48pm

Have you watched many anime’s? They often have blond, brown, pink, orange hair 😂

ByuImaginesDragons

Also they love Americans and they make anime characters that look more

I’ve gone down the Japanese rabbit hole on YouTube.

Zedhead

1/18/18 2:42pm

You can see why they needed such a great example

kimchicoug

1/18/18 2:45pm

Although.....Japan allows otakus to marry digital women. TNT might have hope yet

Japanese cultures is stupid. Just kidding. It is stupid and I don't like it.

I've never met a misogynist who loved Sailor Moon

kimchicoug

1/18/18 3:02pm

I've met my fair share of fans, and you are right, she has such a positive effect on them.

RSLCoug

1/18/18 3:06pm

And?

Which is why Sailor Moon is so helpful. Are we speaking the same language?

kimchicoug

Nope. Your conclusion isn't logical.

Ozymandias
