Don't tell my son who to love

The idea that female characters are not marketable to boys is idiotic and sexist. Yes, it is. You are off the bat assuming that because the child has a penis between its legs that it prefers guns, trucks and absolutely nothing resembling the color pink.
It would be just as stupid to tell a girl that she can't like male characters. Oh but wait- society pushes all of us to admire the male characters.
All main characters deserve the limelight. Black widow action figures shouldn't be a problem. The entire cast of Big Hero 6 on bedsheets- why is that a problem!?
The majority rules aspect of marketing is skewed and rather than giving children what they want, is telling children what they should want. 


Fuck that.
