These moments got cut because of the \\\"one moment per troper\\\" rule:
**[[quoteblock]]@/{{RHJunior}}: The misandry of Snips and Snails. The first two prominent male characters we\\\'re introduced to... and they\\\'re ugly, stupid, and have annoying voices. Their names are even a metaphor for what they\\\'re supposed to represent-- they could\\\'ve been named \\\"Boys are stupid\\\" and \\\"Throw rocks at them\\\" and it would have been about as subtle.[[/quoteblock]]
**[[quoteblock]]@/{{RHJunior}} There\\\'s also the gender bias. Spike is casually mocked by his (all female) friends for his stereotypically feminine actions (tea set, frilly apron) and basically verbally emasculated. He goes to find his \\\"inner dragon\\\" (his masculinity) and hang out with a group of male teenage dragons, and engaging in all stereotypically male behavior (loud, rude, violent, crass and smelly.) He then learns his lesson-- that his \\\"proper place\\\" is back with the girly pastel ponies. Because girls good, boys evil. Having just ONE female dragon in the group of juvenile delinquents would have avoided this....[[/quoteblock]]
