#Netflix #LeagueOfLegends #Jayce An overall theme subtly shaped the writing of Jayce, Viktor, Ekko, Silco, Heimerdinger, and others. Arcane took a different approach with its men from how it wrote women. Problematic tropes and sexist stigmas weren’t as much of an issue here. Instead, every male character in Arcane approached their arcs with flaws that ARE stereotypically male. They all experienced a similar set of gender-related trials and challenges. And they all emerged from those challenges conveying a subtle message to the audience about masculinity. The themes and techniques here are much subtler than what we covered in the How Arcane Writes Women video, but they’re still just as powerful and just as groundbreaking. 0:00 - How Arcane Wrote Women vs Men 2:56 - What Arcane was Addressing 6:27 - “Write women as PEOPLE” 8:32 - Male Stereotypes 13:16 - Male Relationships 17:15 - Male Expression of Love 18:45 - Why Piltover/Zaun?

      Belittle isn’t feminine. It’s gender neutral and not quite the same. The difference between the phrasing is subtle, but there. Belittling is when we try to make someone feel less important or to just disparage them. To emasculate someone is to paint them as less masculine or weak. We do have a reverse of emasculating, though. Which, we dont really have a term I know of to describe the de-feminizing of a woman. Fortunately, society seems to mostly depart from the more toxic views as it pertains to less feminine women now than before, but largely the opposite view is still dominant in most of the world when it comes to men.
