This one is interesting too, and it's another by Jonathan Pageau who is also on Patreon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT6Qo146Ncs. The description of this one is: "Disney's Moana is the prime example of the recent trend of replacing masculine imagery with the feminine in movies. I offer an interpretation of the symbolism in Moana and how it plays out the gender ideology that is being inserted into popular culture through media and education." It does seem that someone is trying to mess with my head in a very clever way. Alexander? I think you had better look at this one too!

2019-09-09 15:22:20 +0000 UTCI'm not a movie person, so I would not otherwise have had occasion to learn about this trend he analyzes. I'm glad I learned about it! He breaks it down in an intelligent way. This is an excellent point: Some are cheering seeing women supplant men in heroic roles. But simply filling masculine social tropes with female characters who embody those tropes might not be an elevation of the feminine, but rather a blind attachment to masculine qualities as the ones that truly matter.
