cidercupcakes is hosting a fun little elimination game of, basically, who is the most kickass female character ever. All fun, nothing serious, except. EXCEPT.

ELLEN MOTHERFUCKING RIPLEY IS LOSING.

I don't even have words for how WRONG that is. So I'm recruiting anyone reading this to go over there and RIGHT THIS TRAVESTY. and then make all of your friends do the same.

because, really, they should just bypass the voting and give the award to her. ♥_♥

Ooooh. She's against Donna FUCKING Noble. Well. The Who fandom must be voting like crazy for her.

Um. I love her too so I am abstaining from voting. :X

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

THE ENTIRE DR. WHO FANDOM IS WRONG ON THE INTERNETS THEN.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

UNACCEPTABLE!

Dammit, I've already voted, or I would vote again on that WITH AUTHORITY.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I think our votes should count more. >:(

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I think you're right.

[charliehey.livejournal.com]

How could anyone not vote for Ripley. :[[[[[[

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE THEY ARE INSANE. clearly. D:

[affectingly.livejournal.com]

yeah, also... WENDY WATSON IS LOSING TO FAITH. YA KNOW, I LIKE FAITH AND ALL... BUT!! WENDY WATSON! DUBDUB! D:

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I...have no idea who that is.

[affectingly.livejournal.com]

CATHY. How have you not been indoctrinated into the world of Middleman? THAT SHIT IS GOLD. GO FIND IT ON I♥. <3_<3 Wendy Watson is pretty much the most amazing female character of all time. I LOVE HER. (Though I do not seem to have an icon of her, but that's more because Karl Urban occupies a good 2/3rds of my icon space at the moment.)

When someone posted that picture of Sigorney Weaver with Zoe Saldana, people were like "who is that other lady??" I WANTED TO DIE!

eta: HOW IS WONDER WOMAN LOSING TO MOLLY FUCKING WEASLEY?!?!?!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE YOUTH TODAY?

[girlmostlikely.livejournal.com]

If it's not a deathmatch between Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor, there's something WRONG going on over there.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

oh man, that would be EPIC. I don't think I'd be able to vote.

no, I'd still vote for Ripley. BUT IT WOULD BE CLOSE.

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

That's so wrong! :(

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I don't understand how this is happening!

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

Dude, how is she losing? this is NOT ON, INTERNET. NOT ON.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I just made this to try and show everyone they're voting wrong:

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

OH GOD I LOVE YOU fa;lkdfe

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

Because McGonagall is awesome! I love Xena, but I love McGonagall more.

[babyofthegroup.livejournal.com]

That poll made me sad, many times. Because seriously, some of the "winners" were obvious to me, and then when I'd voted turned out to be losing by a wide margin. Siiiiiigh.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I never knew that so many people could be wrong on the internet at the same time.

Ellen Ripley is the most badass female character in a movie EVERRRRRRRRRR. SHE SAVED A LITTLE GIRL FROM ALIENS WITH FLAMETHROWERS AND SHIT. GAH, people. Utter badassery. I went over and voted because that wrong must be righted!

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY. BOOO. I don't think I'll be able to participate any further if she doesn't pull off a win because a world where Ripley isn't recognized as the most badass woman ever is a world I want nothing to do with. >:(

[buttfacemakani.livejournal.com]

Stinking Dr Who presence on LJ!

ALso the youngins who have never seen Alien :|

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I don't understand!!! What is wrong with kids today? Shameful, I tell ya.

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Dude. We just so happen to be having an Alien marathon this weekend and I am equally outraged. VOTING.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

LIIIIIIIIIINDSAY! Why aren't more people voting for her? Make people vote for her!

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Fandom is clearly psychotic. How is that even a contest?? Okay, okay, I'll get out my pink brass knuckles.

[tallycola.livejournal.com]

I went to fill out that form but had to stop on Liz Lemon versus Laura Roslin. Whaaaaaaat I can't make that decision!!

Did you know that in the first couple drafts of Alien Ripley was a dude? (They were all dudes). I forget who's decision it was to make Ripley a woman, but it was definitely the right choice, and they didn't even have to change the dialogue. People flail and say they just don't know how to write female characters, but, like... it's not a huge difference. Alien did it. My usual mantra is just change the name but dude, they didn't even do that! (Well, her first name I guess).

I don't know what it means that one of the best/more kickass female characters of all time was originally written as a guy, but I do know that Alien would probably have been considered "a little gay" and not have done so well with a dude protagonist. I don't really have anything to back that up, but it's my gut feeling.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

yah yah, written originally for a guy but Sigourney went in to read for it anyways and they were all, '...whoa. This could be awesome.' AND IT WAS.

Too bad almost 1000 people don't seem to realize that. BOOOO.
