It’s Dangerous To Go Alone
This warms my heart
Like, 90% of infomercial style products were designed by/for disabled people, but you wouldn’t know that, because there is no viable market for them. THey have to be marketted and sold to abled people just so that any money can be made of off them and so the people who actually need them will have access.
I think snuggies are the one example
almosteveryone knows. They were invented for wheelchair users (Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a coat on and off of someone in a wheelchair? Cause it’s PRETTY FUCKIN HARD.) But now everyone just acts like they’re some ~quirky, white people thing~ and not A PRODUCT DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLES DAY TO DAY LIVES 10000X EASIER.But if at any point you were to take your head out of your own ass and go “Hey, who would a product like this benefit,” that would be really cool.
this makes so much sense and i apologise to anyone i may have hurt by not thinking it through before i made fun of infomercial products
I absolutely resent the fact that Supergirl is being compared to that SNL trailer for Black Widow.
There was a REASON that was parody. Because it does NOT suit the character of Black Widow to have a story like that. Not with her characterization, her backstory, anything. Because people in Hollywood think that’s the only way to market movies to ladies. So much so that they could and would try to market Natasha’s story like that, completely nonsensically and out of character.
Kara OTOH is NOT Black Widow. She’s a twenty something girl/woman, and she’s just stepping out into the real world, struggling to balance her personal life her powers. She’s bubbly, happy, and all those things that yes a protagonist character in a ‘chick flick’ would be. But so what? I didn’t know being a female superhero meant there was only ONE type. Why can’t Kara be having boy troubles, sister fights AND be flying off and saving the day? Why is there a sense that if something is feminine or chick flicky it’s automatically not badass enough, and that it’s only meant for chick flick centric womanly consumption?
Why CAN’T she be both?
