I’ve been watching One Piece and Naruto lately. The stories are great, but the blatant misogyny in them has been bothering me. I want to write about:
- the importance of representation in media (growing up, I wanted to be a boy because I hated how women were portrayed in media — I didn’t want to be perceived in the same way)
- role models and life lessons
- Stories are powerful and can shape one’s values
- contrast with Jujutsu Kaisen
- story tradeoffs
- Stories are a mirror reflecting ourselves
