Did Sailor Moon push facial creams?
Wasn't the protagonist supposed to be somewhat of a slob?
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoNot creams, exactly. But Sailor Moon has always been heavily merchandised. And the Japanese name is "pretty guardian sailor moon" and she says "moon crystal power make-up" and her transformation tool has the shape of a cosmetic kit and ok I'll stop now. To be clear, this is just the most superficial stuff. That television series was definitely pushing a certain specific and not at all enlightened standard of female behavior and beauty. Not that I think it should be cancelled on Twitter or anything, but I think it's helpful to criticize the media we consume.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoPlenty of western cartoons made to push toys though, e.g. Masters of the Universe.

- Jensson 5y agoThe Precure franchise is huge in Japan and is used to sell makeup and toys to girls. It isn't exactly Sailor Moon but it is basically the same thing. https://www.google.com/search?q=precure+toys https://www.google.com/search?q=precure+toys https://www.google.com/search?q=precure+makeup https://www.google.com/search?q=precure+makeup
