You're forgetting that these women have more to them than their appearance. The little girls who watch this show will learn that Heather, Courtney and Jo (and Sky shhh) value hard work and winning more than gaining a boyfriend. They'll see the importance in choosing friends over cheating boyfriends. The women in Total Drama are more than just thin sex dolls, like your claiming. They kick ass and set good examples for the female audience by their actions, which is what TRULY matters.

And to be fair, you're treating Beth no better than you claim everyone else on the show was. She won the second season and had a model boyfriend. All of her friends celebrated her victory by lifting her up and cheering. Not to mention the only person who ever called her ugly were Justin and Chris, who, I may add, were a****les. Assuming the main audience is intended to be children, Justin and Chris would be disliked by them for simply being mean.

Leshawna constantly referred to herself as beautiful. She was confident in herself. That's an AMAZING message toward children. She didn't care about her extra weight. She just considered it more of herself to love. Harold fell madly in love with her and she quickly became the most popular contestant amongst the others at Playa Des Losers. The only people who called her out for her weight were Heather and Duncan. Leshawna didn't hesitate to throw them off a cliff and beat the crap out of them for saying crap like that. Why are you leaving important details like this out, BradP27?

Lindsay was valued for her charming personality. I don't remember any of the guys lusting after her because of her body type. She had more to her than her breast size and thin waist. She had strong friendships with Owen, Beth, Leshawna and a ton of others.

Remember Dakotazoid? Remember how Sam STILL loved her after that? I do. Their relationship porves that no matter how you look, if someone really loves you, they'll accept you. Plus, prior to mutation, Dakota made it clear she wanted her opinions to be what people were interested in. Not how pretty she was. This is what you should be focused on, everybody.

Eva focused on winning the game more than how the boys thought of her. She managed to make friends and work on her anger issues. She suceeded. Then there was Katie and Sadie. Their friendship was strong. Strong female friendships are what we need little girls to be seeing. Sure, Katie called Sadie fat during an argument, but she quickly apologized because that's a very terrible thing to do to anyone, especially your best friend.

Let's not forget Bridgette was voted off for being too athletic. The guys were afraid of her skills. When her boyfriend started to become a tool, she took action and made sure he went back to his old self. That's devotion. Speaking about devotion, Sierra may have been obsessed over a boy, but that didn't stop her from protecting him at all costs. She was a mother figure for her team and used her strength to literally carry her bestfriend all the way to the final three. (and even beat the crap out of a shark for harming him)

Anne Maria despised Jo. But she was able to put aside the conflict and saved her life when Zoey almost got her suffocated. She valued Bricks life when he went missing and was genuinely nice to her teammates. She apologized to Cameron when she sprayed him with hair spray by accident. And about that Jo being mistaken by a guy thing, that was all Lightning. The (children) audience is able to see he's stupid and we're supposed to laugh at how stupid he was being, not at Jo's misfortune. Jo sets a good example by proving just because someone is a guy, doesn't mean they're better than you.

Gwen, Heather and Courtney. The three most popular girls on the show. Courtney was heartbroken that her best friend betryaed her for a boy. Heather (who hated both) consoled Courtney, who was balling her eyes out. There were points where they were friendly toward each other before and after that too. Not to mention Heather had brief truces with Leshawna and Gwen. Courtney couldn't say a bad thing about Leshawna in the first season, and Gwen had a strong friendship with both Leshawna and Bridgette. Season 5 may have been terrible, but at least for a while we got to watch how important it was to Gwen to mantain her best frienship with Courtney. They cut Duncan out of their lives and were better people for it.

Stop acting like these girls only have their appearances to offer. Stop acting like that's all they have to value. They exist for themselves. They can dress and act how they please. A vast majority of these women set GREAT examples for the little girls watching TD. They can see past their appearances and into their personalities and morals. So why can't you? (also 6/7 TDPI girls kick some serious ass, just you see)
