Unconscious Sexism For The Fail
Aug. 2nd, 2009 12:53 amSo, last night after the movie, had an interesting conversation with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cheshirebast about which characters we identify with. I have a "Venkman" patch on my uniform, but that's because it's brown. I don't identify with movie!Peter at all, and in point of fact think he needs a good kick in the ass most of the time - but the moments when he pulls out the heroism are pretty redemptive. I find cartoon!Peter more tolerable, but I still want to kick him in the butt about half the time, and I find him hard to relate to. For the movie characters I identify in roughly equal measures with Egon and Janine, to a much lesser degree with Ray, and to a very, very small amount with Louis and Winston. (I probably identify less with Dana than I do with Peter, to be honest.)
( The rest of the conversation, plus a non-GB fanvid, behind the cut because this got long )
