Animation companies are moving haltingly to promote women to key roles producing and directing the films and shows they make, according to a new study by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative.
In the past 12 years, 3% of the directors of animated movies were women, and just one, “Kung Fu Panda 2’s” Jennifer Yuh Nelson, was a woman of color. On the small screen, 13% of episodes from popular animated TV programs from 2018 had female directors, three of whom were women from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds.
That lack of diversity was reflected in the stories unfolding across movie theaters, television, and mobile devices. Movies such as “Moana” and television shows such as “Dora the Explorer” have made headlines by focusing on female characters, but they remain the exception to the rule. Only 17% of the 120 top-grossing animated films from 2007 to 2018 had a female lead or co-lead, and just three of those movies boasted a woman of color as its protagonist.

And darn near all animated movies are environmentalist propaganda.
Yeah, and men make up 2% of all hair dressers. So TF what? Is there some irrefutable research proving that vocational interests and talents are divided perfectly evenly among all 13 genders and 17 races? Even if there were, have you questioned and verified that ‘research’ for a finding so completely unprecedented relative to distribution of other characteristics? If no, then STFU until you’re smarter and more knowledgeable than a philodendron.
Audiences simply do not care.

Are we supposed to beg forgiveness for this horrible travesty of justice? Should we strip the male creators of their money for their work and give it to females who have done nothing?
