Dammit, I demand they make a Barbie with piercings everywhere, tattoos and gothic leather outfits!

Done. ;)

If you want something a little more Goth, here's a dead Barbie. :D

We all know the reboot of The Powerpuff Girls sux.
The interesting humor, great villains, & the almost Rocky & Bullwinkle appeal to adults....it's all gone.
But channel surfing, I happened upon it, & noticed something odd....
The elementary school teacher, Miss Keane, no longer has tits.
And the Mayor's buxom brain trust, Sara Bellam has been completely written out.
(Note that Miss Bellam's hyper-reubenesque body was a parody.)
The women have haven't been just desexualized, they've been desexed....body parts eliminated.

I don't know how widespread this phenomenon is in other toons,
but is this an elimination of normal sexual characteristics?
Is it out of prudery or some perverse political correctness?
Betty Boop would never make it today.

You might wonder....
Who cares about such worthless crap?
I do!
so do I

but how do we launch a proper campaign of restoration without looking like sexist males?

without curves the characters might appear confusing

having confused the visual....the gesture comes next

in no time at all.....no one will get the plot
(if there is one)

That's the issue? A couple of backwards C's that are stylistically inconsistent with the long curves and distracting from the rest of the character design? It even looks super weird clipping over her vest.

...Maybe she just stopped using a too-small push up bra.

Just realized, Neutering Female Cartoon Characters goes way back to 1919

Of course, the backwards C is a symbol rather than accurate illustration.
Contrast this with Sara Bellum, & other female characters, who are drawn
for different effects. And then there's "Him"....transgender?
