Y'know given the Great Beings' less than enlightened views on gender, it's very easy to imagine the female members of the group as more feminist in their thinking and simply being drowned out in a male-dominated group. But given what we know about the Great Beings, namely their core trait of being brilliant creative geniuses and monumentally stupid at the exact same time, I think it's more in line with the characterization of the group if the women are just as Weird about it as the men, if not more so. Much less underappreciated girlboss, much more...divine feminine. Y'know, thinking they're so far beyond misogyny and then turning around and doing gender essentialism, aka misogyny in a different hat, but framing it as a good thing so they can feel like they're so advanced about it. That's more the vibe I'd expect.
#bionicle#great beings#sexism#like i'm picturing chiara#after the yesterday questers have found some of the great beings#bringing up the whole ce-matoran situation again to one of the women#expecting her to agree that the whole notion of it was ridiculous#and her being like 'oh that was my idea actually'#and doing this whole spiel about how females are naturally gentler and better peacekeepers and more spiritually in-tune and such#and chiara's just there like '...none of you have touched grass in over 100000 years'
