via Tumblr (fireladyswag): atla-confession-box : “I recognize ATLA isn’t nearly as bad as some other shows. But I can’t help but feel it’s a little sexist.” My response: Definition of sexist: discriminatory on the basis of sex (usually said of men's attitude toward women). wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn How is the entire show sexist? It presents various characters that break both male and female gender stereotypes: strong female characters e.g. Toph (who, along with Teo, simultaneously breaks the disability barrier), Katara (changed grandPakku's original view that females should not train in offensive bending), Suki (changed Sokka's originally sexist perception that females should behave like damsels in distress), Hama strong old elderly folk (Iroh, Bumi, Pakku, Hama, etc.) Need I go on?
Hi, I only happened to see your blog cos' I was searching on galactik football and they brought me to your blog. Bu to inform you, I have checked on numerous websites, and they said that more energy is needed to convert the screen to black, because to block the light passing through(to make the pixel black), a charge has to be applied, and Blackle uses thousands of charges for every pixel, so Blackle is actually using more energy than Google. But I don't mind if you don't believe or don't wanna switch back to Google. It's just for your info, and I can't guarantee it's absolutely totally true either.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. Interesting... I didn't know that. But just to let you know, I've switched back to Google because of the additional tools available. But I'll continue to use dark backgrounds (because it's easier on my eyes) until I find conclusive proof to the matter.
