Sharing because this isn't only about Star Wars or Disney. This applies basically to all modern western media
Tl;dw: Corpos introduce cute mascot characters to take advantage of women's maternal instincts, problem is, they don't want them to grow or develop, they want it to stay cute.
Contrast this with how movies were, ironically made with women as the centerpiece. It motivated men and forced them to mature by appealing to their provider and protector nature.
Movies aimed at men gave us aspirational characters because those characters were expected to change in order to raise up to the challenges of the world. Movies nowdays are about validating the choices of static characters, this is why we get immoral characters that are handed everything to them
The whole idea of boys want to become something. While girls want something to become them.
Self inserts. Only thing is the people doing self inserts are lame, gay and demonic.
Lego had a study shoring that right? But I heard they try to downplay that study now
yep. that study. boys want to become batman and do batman things. while girls.. girls transform batman into some tea party participant which is something batman would probably not do willingly unless he got trapped by Baby Doll villain or Mat Hatter lol.
I remember as a kid when my friend and I were doing a war with our gi joes and his little sister wanted to play but she wanted to pair them up with her Barbies as couples and play house. We said no and she came back with their mother and his mom forced us to play as she wanted. Guess I got a sneak peak on that day in the late 80s of the future
