When Will Wonder Woman Be a Fat, Femme Woman of Color? (Ms Magazine)
quote:
Indeed, there are many ways this film does not challenge the status quo. Without the first 15 minutes on the island, it wouldn’t pass the Bechdel Test. And it does nothing to challenge modern-day racist beauty standards.
quote:
Why couldn’t Wonder Woman be a woman of color? When it was announced that Gadot would play Wonder Woman, audiences went wild body shaming her for not having large enough breasts. One can only imagine the white supremacy that would have emerged had the announcement said instead that she would be played by a Black woman. On Paradise Island, there are Black warriors in addition to white ones, which is a good start, but other women of color are missing. Also, while the female warriors are strong and arse-kicking, they all have tall, thin body types and they all could be models on a runway. In fact, in a pivotal battle scene, Wonder Woman struts across the battlefield as if on a catwalk. As a result, their physical strength plays second fiddle to their beauty, upholding the notion that in order to access power women must be beautiful in a traditional way. Especially with the body positivity movement gaining steam, the film could have spotlighted female warriors with fat, thick and short body types. While people have said that warriors can’t be fat, some of our best paid male athletes are, particularly linebackers on the football field, and no one doubts their physical strength.

It wasn't that people don't want a female hero or lead... The reason the actors and SJWs got upset is because the public was saying...women aren't funny. Since WW isn't supposed to be a comedy, people aren't turned off by it.
Gal Gadot is very funny in Wonder Woman and I would like some links to where the public was saying women aren't funny.

What? No we were pissed because she was too fricking thin and not muscular enough, not that her hooters weren't huge. I don't think any of us put that into remote consideration.

She's fricking Israeli and all of her grandparents survived the Holocaust. Guess that's not good enough in the diversity department.

Still can't believe Gal was 5 months pregnant during that movie

I don't see many fat linebackers on the field.

Sorry that guys aren't attracted to fat, ugly women. Unfortunately, no amount of social justicing is going to change that.
