	The cynic in me wonders if the same amount of people would call out any of the male reviewers on the site if they did the same thing. I don't know why, but it seems like the stuff that the NC, Spoony, etc. get away with don't go over as well for the female reviewers. But that could just me imagining things. :/ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I believe that transphobia has been called out a lot. NC did a similar thing with Airborne in which he kept ragging on how Seth Green looked, even down to changing the music from a scene to "Girls just wanna have fun", and the fen response was so big that Rob had to come down and explain the "joke" (Which tbhw, I never found funny, even after the explanation) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	..."Feminine" is not an adjective that I've ever ascribed to Seth Green. ...Nope, still looks pretty damn masculine to me. Actually, now that I'm looking closely, I'd say, other than being short and thin, he looks more traditionally masculine than the vast majority of his fellow Hollywood actors.

	Well... he was wearing his hair long and some weird outfits... although, yes, I have no idea why would anyone call him "femenine"... Here, let me find a picture of the movie... http://img228.imageshack.us/i/seth04qb3.jpg/ This is like the best I can't. And no, I don't know why NC kept going on that this guy wasn't a guy.

	It was the 90s. Dudes had long hair in the 90s. I had quite a few kids in my classes with long hair, and I was 8 years old when that movie came out. sigh (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Uh. Yeah. Still not at all feminine. Didn't jokes about men with long hair looking like women go out with the 60s? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	luxshine 2011-03-31 05:46 am UTC (link)
	I don't think Seth looks like a girl, and yes, I agree with you. It was an stupid comment, NC was totally off, and I only mentioned here because it's an example of the fans reacting the same way to one of the male reviewers than to a female reviewer in a case of extreme fail.

	...it wasn't that weird. That was the skateboard movie where he dressed up in some funky styles while his cousin tried to help him get a girl's attention, right? It was the style back then. Don't ask Cher Horowitz. If anything, it's possibly the angle of the shot for the Buffy pic, but he's never been feminine. Even in body posture. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've slowly but surely been losing patience with the Nostalgia Critic (ironic, given he's what first got me into the site). Then again, next to Linkara, everyone on that site comes away looking bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That's good to hear at least. I haven't been paying attention to the site for a while. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Personally, I can't watch the Nostalgia Critic because his jokes always come off as such casual sexism and homophobia to me. Every once in a while someone will say "oh, he reviewed [this thing you watched as a kid]!" and I'll go "huh" and check it out, and what will be in it but sodomy jokes, gendered insults, and "heheh I bet that guy is a pedophile."

It's not funny to me, and if that's being oversensitive, well.

	It's one thing if those kinds of things pop up randomly and infrequently, but when that's a comedian/star's only real shtick? Yeah, gets old VERY fast. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, he caters to his audience, eh? I watched a couple of the Nostalgia Chick videos the other day, and the funny thing about the comment sections is that on most of the vids, it's all positive and casual, and then she does a video about female tokenization and BAM, a screenful of "y u make big deal".

	dottiness 2011-03-31 06:44 am UTC (link)
	The thing I've been hearing lately about Nostalgia Chick is after she did the X-Men video, she got a lot of flack because she's supposed to stick to girly stuff and a lot of the fanboy followers were angry that she did a video about something they watched as well. It's not for girls!!!!! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That makes total sense! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have very little respect for the Nostalgia Chick after the Showgirls review. It bothered the hell out of me that all she got out of the rape scene was 'well, if he'd just asked, she would have slept with him'. That is NOT what rape is about. Plus her treatment of Elisa from Gargoyles made me rage. Anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS I only hit up the ones whose source material I was familiar with, so I didn't see that, but.... wow. Just... wow. (Reply to this)(Parent)

What did she say about Elisa?

I can't remember everything that bugs me about the Nostalgia Chick, but I do remember two specifics: The rape joke in the Mulan review (what, the cruelty of Shan Yu returning the girl's doll just before murdering her and her whole village wasn't monstrous enough?) and her assessment of Ever After, where I got the sense that she didn't even watch the film (both stepsisters are flat, mean characters? Really?).

	She badmouthed Elisa?! I knew there was something about her (the Nostalgia Chick, I mean) I didn't like, ~~beyond the fact that I liked Anastasia, thank you very much~~. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now I'm glad I only watched a few of his, because those I watched thankfully didn't have those. The site is mainly about Linkara, anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't think many people would contest this XD ...I don't even like western comics, but the 'Amazons Attack' review made me really like watching his videos. It's interesting how he identifies a few pretty annoying tropes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm super late to this, but I was just catching up on old Nostalgia Critic videos and I felt pretty sick when he refers to Bhargav's Ma-Ti character as a monkey in the Inspector Gadget review. Way to be super racist there, you asshole. (Reply to this)(Parent)
