So when I saw this picture for the new Pixar movie Inside Out,
at first I thought the characters were three women and two aliens, but after seeing the trailer I realized the purple and red things were supposed to be dudes. After tracing their faces, I figured out why I was so weirded out:
The two male characters have extremely distinctive face shapes, while the three female characters basically have the exact same shape; round with a small nose.
Now everyone has read about the Elsa/Anna/Rapunzel face debate, but I wanted to see just how far this face thing went. And boy does it go far.
I took pictures of both male and female characters from recent Disney/Pixar movies:
And then traced both of them. Look at the diversity of male face shapes:
AND THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING RIDICULOUSNESS THAT IS SHOWN HERE:
WHAT
THE
FUCK
Just take a second to scroll up and look back at the original pictures in case you think I’m joking.
Apparently every Disney woman is a clone/direct descendant of some primordial creature with huge round cheeks and a disturbingly small nose, because there is no other explanation (yes there is(it’s lazy sexism)) for the incredible lack of diversity among these female faces.
DISNEY.
WHY DOES EVERY WOMAN THAT YOU HAVE CREATED IN THE LAST DECADE HAVE THE EXACT SAME FACE SHAPE? AND DON’T TELL ME IT’S BECAUSE WOMEN ARE HARDER TO ANIMATE. STOP ASSUMING EVERY WOMAN HAS A ROUND BABY FACE AND A SHORT CUTE BABY NOSE. YOU CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
TL;DR: Boys in animated movies have faces that are square, round, skinny, fat, alien-looking, handsome, and ugly. The only face that girls get to have is some round snub-nosed baby face. That’s not right.
I lined up the noses once more to drive home a point.
This is what annoys me most with Disney/Pixar. It reinforces the idea that men can be charismatic in various ways, but women need to conform to one narrow model to be considered beautiful.
dreamworks often has this problem too (look at the women in httyd) which leads me to believe animators genuinely find noses and chins as a concept unattractive. which is just. really weird. we’re headed towards a platonic ideal woman where her face is completely flat

Yet Trump’s America wouldn’t want you to hear about this nor help it go mainstream
2019 is more flowers, more rosé, more perfume, more pink, more dance, more lingerie, more skincare, more healthy food, more books, more gardens and more self love.
Even if you’ve hurt other people in the past, or have been the kind of person that you really don’t respect, you can always make the decision to change. The tips below might be helpful for this.
1. Look for the good in the people that you meet, and try to empathise, and understand others’ viewpoints.
2. Remind yourself of this: “That it’s not all about you” … and the feelings and the wishes of others matter too.
3. Be polite; try saying “thank you”; and don’t take people for granted. What they did took thought and effort, and it’s nice to be acknowledged.
4. Think before you speak. This will save a lot of grief. For once those words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. They may never be forgotten, and can haunt you later on.
5. Check your tone of voice and the words you choose to use. These can cause misunderstandings, or create a bad impression.
6. Don’t gossip about others; look for things to praise instead.
7. Don’t take the bait and be pulled into arguments. Just let the comment go. You don’t need to rise to that.
8. Make the effort to be kind, and offer others your support. And do something that’s special, and which demonstrates some thought.
I absolutely love seeing this photoset getting this attention it’s getting for just because you NEVER see deaf people advocating for deaf people. Not that it doesn’t happen, it happens all the time everyday. It’s not ever In the public eye. the people you always see in the spotlight are hearing people. Hearing people are praised left and right for being deaf educators or interpreters or advocating for deaf people and that’s great, don’t get me wrong. I applaud them for helping the cause, but the face of deaf advocacy should be deaf, at least I think so, and this isn’t something you see a lot of.
So shout out to rikki poynter for this video and highlighting these issues in a humorous way and getting hearing people to understand this
