I would say it's because no man ever lectured another man on the political, social & sexual connotations of being called 'guy, dude, hey you' or whatever. Right now, as this very conversation shows, how you refer to one particular gender is a social minefield. Is it women or womyn today? Miss or Mizz? So, guys are…

The study doesn't confirm a stereotype, it just presents the evidence it discovers. It is up to US to decide how that evidence fits into our lives. It's like knowing a certain food causes heart disease. Okay, now it's up to me to decide if I want to avoid that food or not. At least I'm aware of the issue and can…

It does help when anecdotal evidence has a study or three backing it up though.

Maybe because Evolution says "Dudes, sleep with anything that moves, breed BREEED" and Society says "You're a man whore we disapprove."

In fairness, it's kind of hard to rub your clit, pull your hair AND spank your ass at the same time, how about using one of your two free hands to help yourself out eh?

I know a guy that went on a rant once about all the chemicals in McDonald's buns. The look on his face when I calmly researched them and pointed out that they were the individual components of baking soda, cream of tartar and other such baking staples: priceless.

Really? Well ain't you ambitious. I was thinking the stick shift knob on a manual transmission.

Wut? His statement never had anything to do with the animation of the models hair. It was about the historical difficulty in 3D animation of keeping the female characters on model (ie, appearing nice and consistent throughout the production) while displaying a range of emotions. You're the one that brought up long…

So they want to show off with their tech, it doesn't mean the hair is out of place.

Different teams of artists, different experiences and processes. Miyazaki doesn't do 3D animation either, so there's that. Animating a computer model without running into the uncanny valley took friggen years to figure out, while Ghibli was putting ink on cells. Also they used to rotoscope a lot, and effectively…

Off hand, different facial shapes, women typically express emotion facially/verbally while men express it physically with the body, men often have facial hair that can mask difficult to animate areas and become it's own broad shaped expressive feature too..

Most probably did. I suppose it depended on custom, economics (was someone doing their hair for them) and what not. From what I've seen most of the women in Frozen appear to have braids, nothing like Merida's free flowing gorgeous locks.

Did the Ancient Greeks in Herculese wear togas or business suits? Did they live in concrete and steel high-rises or cut stone/mud houses. Same with Aladdin.

See, you are taking away a totally different thing from what he said than I am. You are reading "Drawing gurls is harrard! We have to make them PRETTY!", while I am reading "the technical aspect of animating a female face CONSISTENTLY is difficult while making the end result artistically attractive."

You seemed to have read a different quote than I did. He didn't "make up excuses" or "whine". He just related that it was a difficult task and was proud they'd accomplished it in this particular movie.

Yeah, because genies and Greek gods are historical figures...Anyway, the long hairstyles 'fit' the context of the period the the story is set in. You might as well say they can wear go-go boots and miniskirts in Victorian London. At a certain point the question is why even set the story in that time to begin with.

This is kind of the equivalent of pointing to the Mona Lisa and saying "See! Painting enigmatic smiles is EASY!" Just because it can be done doesn't say a thing about the technical difficulties of doing it successfully. You are showing the end results of the hard work, not the processes and labor involved in…

As someone else pointed out, big features are actually easier to animate since they don't require such subtle manipulation. Most of the emotional context is delivered by the voice actors and the broader body movements. Animating a face is actually pretty hard, ask anyone who's run into the uncanny valley.

Female short hairstyles are a fairly modern thing. So unless the story is set from about 1920-now, long hair on women has historical accuracy at least.

I'll be generous and suggest that maybe this guy is on the aspergers spectrum and has a hard time judging emotions to begin with. It is something a lot of men do have, and there are a lot of studies supporting the position that men are generally less capable at reading female expressions. So while what he said…
