[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I Believe it’s what’s being sold to them, OP. It’s more the Disney culture than anything.  My mom was saying that in the 1950’s there were “hobos”, ghosts, Addams Family and Munsters characters but very few Cinderella’s because they only saw Cinderella once in the theater.  My mom has great pictures of herself dressed as Paul McCartney and her siblings as John, George and Ringo.  Once she went as cousin It.

I was not as Princess orientated as my DD is because I didn’t watch as much princess crap.  [/quote]

This is my gripe with Disney princesses, and Spiderman, or any other corporate/commercial character that's out there. Parents are the gatekeepers, kids don't have a biological need/desire to dress like a Disney princess or Batman, and posters who don't acknowledge this are annoying. Sure, your kid will grow out of it, but how did your kid grow into it?

OP is also very annoying.[/quote]

If you have to ask such a stupid question then you obviously don't have kids. People like you and OP are annoying.[/quote]

I missed who is who in this exchange but to the gatekeeper poster you’re an idiot and you obviously don’t have kids.

I’m the mom to a boy who loves Spider-Man - here’s how it happened, loves bugs learns about black widow spiders in a national parks book, sees spiderwebs thinks they’re the coolest, starts imaginary play that he’s a spider of all spiders and builds spiderwebs out of string and duplos, still thinks bugs are awesome. Asks for black and red clothing to look like a spider does cool spider jumps. We’re at the library and one day he runs up and says he saw a book about a spider boy like him, it was a young readers Miles Morales and now for Halloween he wanted a cool spider costume like miles morales.

So no, you don’t have kids and you don’t know what you’re talking about. [/quote]
