Just shows how little things can get us upset as well as the bg ones!
Disney are going to replace Christopher Robin with a girlie character in the latest Winnie the Pooh cartoon. WHY????
Apparently it could be because dragging a teddy bear around the house is not a manly thing to do or it could be because of the old gender issue that to use only a male character disenfranchises the female of our race.......what a load of tosh.
If, 80 years ago, AA Milne had meant that a little girl would pull the bear around he would have written it that way. Lets not try to airbrush out history. As someone said today - Disney needs Winnie the Pooh more than Winnie the Pooh needs Disney.
LEAVE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN ALONE!!!!!
GASP! GACK! CRINGE! How can they DO that????? I'm appalled. Truly. No sarcasm. First, as someone who was raised on WTP characters, it's Wrong. Second, as an author, it's Wrong (if someone decided to randomly change the gender of my characters, I'd be SO up in arms.) And in general, it's Wrong. Boy, do I hope you're joking. I don't think you are. *sigh*
