I heard someone outside of this website say “hypermasculinity” seriously. The future is bleak.
One of the first studies of hypermasculinity was conducted by Donald L. Mosher and Mark Sirkin in 1984. Mosher and Sirkin have operationally defined hypermasculinity or the “macho personality” as consisting of three variables:
callous sexual attitudes toward women
the belief that violence is manly
the experience of danger as exciting
They developed the Hypermasculinity Inventory (HMI) designed to measure the three components.[1] Research has found that hypermasculinity is associated with sexual and physical aggression towards women.[2][3] Prisoners have higher hypermasculinity scores than control groups.[4]
Anti-Feminist Stumbles Upon Scientific Conversation, Is Bewildered and Terrified
I am so tired of being told that i am too old for the things i like. No cartoons. No toys. No fantasy animals. No bright colors. Are adults supposed to live monotonous, bleak lives ? I can be an adult and still love childish things. I can be intelligent and educated and informed and i can love stuffed animals and unicorns. These things are not mutually exclusive. Please stop making me feel bad for loving the things that make me happy.
and yet the end products here are all unmistakably distinct from one another and all rendered in a different style! if anything to me this gif just shows how much you can get out of so little.
shocking: cartoon characters are traditionally built from simple shapes for appeal and ease of animation but this tried-and-true method of character design is really quite versatile!
all of these characters use that same basic head shape as seen in the gif. it’s been in use since the beginning of animation, just with 3-dimensional logic projected onto it in different ways and with different cranium-to-snoot ratios.
