“ppl need to stop saying that WW isnt being promoted when a literal...”

:

I don't watch live TV, so I don't see commercials, but based on billboards and internet ads, it doesn't look like WW is being promoted as much as it could. I'm so glad they're releasing commercials and trailers, but I'd like to see more.

If you dont watch tv, how will you see the commercials? WW has been highly promoted on tv, there are internet ads through twitter, youtube, facebook, tumblr (where ppl post gifs of said commericals), i go into los angeles at least once a week and im bombarded with billboards within the CITY and the freeways. i go into a store and there’s WW merchandise. its being advertised in spanish language channels. there are shirts. there’s bangles. there’s action figures. gal gadot and chris pine released one of the trailers at the kid’s choice awards (that was broadcast on tv)  going in for their big key audience, young girls and boys. 

the advertisement is the there. wb\dc has put the money out (more money than they spent on ‘suicide squad’). 

gal gadot’s face is everywhere. maybe you just aren’t looking for it, and im not saying that to be mean, bc maybe im biased bc i live an hour to 2 hrs away fm big cities. but i also live in a small town and i cant go into wal mart or wal greens or a grocery store like Staters without seeing WW promoted one way or another. 

8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?

Probably, but I don't really remember right now.

Wow. I don't know what to say. I am still in the early process of research, but if you think he'd be willing to help, I'll be sure to take up your offer if (when!!) I need help! Thank you very much! 

evilgirlchild said:  For asker: I read “from mouse to mermaid” ed by bells, haas, and sells, for a gender in politics class and it was a pretty decent read. I’d suggest that for a starting place - it references articles and books that might be worth looking into!

I'd probably read this even if I didn't want to write this thesis, so I'm definitely asking for it for my birthday! And, yes, I love starting from the bibliography! Thank you!

Gyah! Now I want to do race and sexuality too! I'll be sure to check that out, thank you!

melemallory said:  I have some articles and stuff that may help. Send me a private message and I can pass some stuff on to you. Good luck! (P.S. I wrote my Master’s thesis on Gender Transgressions of the Pixar Villains.)

Wow, your thesis sounds very interesting! I will take up your offer for "articles and stuff", if you don't mind, so thank you! Sending you a PM! 

morethanfairytales said: I saw your question on Feminist Disney and wanted to recommend From Mouse to Mermaid by Elizabeth Bell. It has some really insightful essays on feminism in Disney media (though it focuses on earlier films as it came out in the 90s). You might also want to try Good Girls and Wicked Witches by Amy M. Davis (haven't read this personally so I can't recommend it as much). Good luck!

Even if it's earlier films, sometimes I just use books to understand how to analyse things myself, or I try to see if what they said also works with what I want to prove, so it's great nonetheless! I will also try the second one (and I will let you know about it, if you want!) Thank you so much!
