At this point Game of Thrones is bankrolling the entire network and all its expansion efforts. They are going to run this shit into the ground until they reemerge in China, and then run it back the other way.

It might've just been a dream I had.

Well yeah, he's a TV exec, of course he'd prefer that his network's cash cow would keep milking a little longer. Togetherness ain't gonna launch HBO Now.

Yeah, outside of (some of) the princesses, women of color are pretty much nonexistent in Disney/Pixar properties. Ick.

Sure, I'll accept the witch as not conforming either. I'll still submit that a small handful of outliers doesn't break this trope. To offer some more examples:

Even if we're to accept that, it's still basically twice the variation the women are given.

Yeah, the witch. As I mentioned above, I kinda love Colette as a character (although poor Janeane Garofalo can't do a French accent to save her life).

But of course, the only two design options for women are dewy maiden and wizened crone. You got me.

Dash doesn't look like Mr. Incredible aside from both being blonde: http://www.dvdizzy.com/imag…

But it's NOT, though. It's really just the women that look like dolls. The men have visual personality shooting out their assholes.

I don't mean to remove her because she's an antagonist or whatever (again, I didn't see the movie so I'm not sure what her role is), but just going from her visual design I feel like she's supposed to ridiculous and nothing more.

No, diversity in this case means looking different, period, and I think you know that. You're being deliberately obtuse because of some pointless superiority complex you have with Tumblr. No one's impressed.

Never saw Brave, but I'm guessing that the witch is an antagonist/comic relief. Freed from the expectation that she be physically appealing (she's an old crone, after all), she's allowed to have visual personality.

Here's a weird thought: A lot of the female characters that don't conform to this trope (Roz, Edna) were voiced by male actors.

At this point you're arguing something entirely different. Forget Tumblr, and ignore the tracing (which I agree is subjective and muddies the waters more than anything else). Just look at the faces with your own eyes. Are you telling me you see equal levels of diversity among the men and women? And if you in fact are…

I wouldn't agree with that. Kimmy is inconsistently written but doesn't conform to any stereotypes I'm aware of. Xanthippe, Cyndee and Jacqueline start out as stereotypes but are all given extra dimensions pretty quickly. The only really eyebrow-raising stereotypes occur in the male characters: Titus and Dong.

It's one thing to make the joke, it's another to present it as a truism, which I feel like is Fey and Carlock (neither of whom are gay themselves) are doing, hopefully unintentionally.

I'd say most sports fans are men, and most men (like most women) identity as heterosexual, so there's that, yeah. But the attitude that there's something inherently straight and male about sports is what leads to the kind of nonsense that keeps LGBT players in the closet and causes coaches to label Michael Sam a…

I liked that specific gag, but in general I find it frustrating that this show seems to be unironically embracing a lot of stereotypes about gay men. They did it with Cyndee's fiance, too: "LOL, get it? Musical theater and antiquing are GAY THINGS, and sports and cars are STRAIGHT THINGS." There are greater injustices…

THANK YOU. And also, I don't think "Dong" is a common name in Vietnam (it is the name of their currency, though). It is an element in a lot of Korean names, and it's also relatively common in China. I suppose it's possible this is all some sort of hilarious meta-joke…
