Women and transformers

Postby Sky Glory of Iacon » Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:50 pm

I am kinda new to the forums But I was kinda wondering about us ladies how many of us were little girls and were fans? Did you watch the orginal series when it aired?

Watched it when it first came out but was never able to convince my mother to buy me any of the toys, she thought they were inappropriate for girls, heck she didnt even like me watching the show.

We are deffinetly a minority, but we are out there. I find it is alot easier to not follow the steriotypes. It is less frowned upon.

Honey, asking her why would have probably been a disaster. You remember the dungeons and dragons cartoon. She wouldnt let me watch it, I had to seek over to my Granny's to see it. I made the mistake of asking why about that, she said "If its not of God its of the devil." And of course I got grounded to my room for a week because I just had to ask "Well whats a TV then, God didnt make it but you watch it too. Yet they(parents) forced me to see R rated bloody, rape filled war movies before I was even 10.

Yet another reason I'm on Lexapro. :P

I hate blood and gore personally, and will not watch teen slasher flicks or gorey movies...Oddly enough real blood and injury dont freak me out when I see them, I just my subconcious wont let it because it knows the situation has to be dealt with right now and panicing only slows you down and causes mistakes.

And as for what made the show appealing:
1-It was cool
2-I wanted a sentient robot car/any other kind of vehicle
3-My best friend Adams had the toys
4-My mother disliked it but would tolerate me watching it because I said that it came on before the cartoon I liked :P
5-It had interesting characters
6-It wasnt anything like Barbie, or carebears, or smurfs, or (ack)gummibears

I'm on MonoPlus! :grin:
Which without googling is probably no where near related to Lexapro, I just felt like stalking MamaKitty and Sunstar in this thread

The way I see it ... Barbie made some girls I know into bimbos. :?
Liking Transformers was actually good for a young girl's mental health.
And turned us males into crazed violent idiots. hehehe

Everybody run, Burn's got MonoPlus! Thats got to be worse than regular Mono! Run, run, Burn cooties! :P

MonoPlus is for high bloodpressure, Lexapro is for depression and anxiety(Or as one user discribed it "So you stop feeling like whale crap at the bottom of the ocean")

And you just enjoy stalking people in general.

Barbie's just annoying...Its Barney that scares me! :shock:

I am a Transformer fan and was one when G1 origianlly aired. I only had a few of the toys however.

What made the show so appealing? Probably the action, the characters and thier personalities.

her half the time I can understand.

cats do things in this order:

1. stalk it
2. play with it
3. dismember it in a very brutal and gory manner
4. eat whatevers left.

you seem to be at step 2 :P

I am glad to see so many females in here to bring in a sort of balance, one might say. Hmm. This is releaving to feel that there is more to TransFormers fandom online than meets the eye. To say the least, I think the movie that just got released had a great deal to do with a more wider audience coming into the foray now. It is up to us who were fans before the crazy Bay came along, to show everyone that Transformers has never gone out of style and has been awesome since 1984.

I am proud to be among intelligent females who also share in my joy of the famed robots from Cybertron.

More power to ya.
