>motorcycle driving highly talented woman who has to mentor the bumbling male protagonist

The prototypical girlboss yet /co/ makes an exception for her. Why?

>>149248241 (OP)
Womens like that want to be dominated McGinnis

>>149248241 (OP)
she doesn't act the way she does for no reason, cooking is a stressful job, her aggression has purpose, like a drill sergeant.

>>149248241 (OP)
Because she falls in rabu

>>149248241 (OP)
Because she was cute and likable despite this. She's a competent woman in a line of work filled with competent men. It makes sense that she would act like that. She was made to be a character, not a statement.

>>149248241 (OP)
She is french

>>149248488
Why do French women make the best dommes?

>>149248347
she was also in a kitchen full of men, and was not just pissed at the protagonist. She would have treated any up and coming chef like that as a defense mechanism. She's amazing and I love her

>>149248241 (OP)
Because she's not mentoring the protagonist, she is a minor antagonist who complicates the relationship between the protagonist and his human plot device.

>>149248241 (OP)
she lives in a time and a social role where she has an excuse to be a girlboss.
we love the black guy working hard to prove himself in the 70s, we don't love the black guy constantly acting like he has something to prove in the 2020s. Acting like he's bravely risking getting firehosed down the street, he doesn't even water his own lawn.

Because Ratatouille was well received in general, can't blame failure on wokeness or whatever when they succeed

>>149248241 (OP)
I kinda wish I had a girlboss in my life

>>149248241 (OP)
Cause it's about cooking, you oaf

>>149248241 (OP)
She was a girlboss as a defense mechanism. As soon as she got the opportunity to do so without risk, she became a vulnerable loving girlfriend.

>>149248241 (OP)
>yet /co/ makes an exception for her
hating on "girlboss" is a new trend and retroactively trying to get mad over stuff is cringe.

It's similar to people trying to say Ripley in Aliens 2 is woke, just sad cringe.

>>149248241 (OP)
Because she was a successful woman who got where she is through entirely believable means as opposed to a soulless girlboss.
>>149249085
>Aliens 2
Just Aliens dipshit. Alien was the first movie.

>>149248241 (OP)
It's honestly fairly easy to sympathize with her when we know the dude was kind of a sham.

>What are you doing?
>Uh, I'm cutting vegetables. I'm cutting the vegetables?
>No! You waste energy and time! You think cooking is a cute job, eh? Like Mommy in the kitchen? Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush when the orders come flooding in, and every dish is different and none are simple, and all of the different cooking times, but must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot and perfect! Every second counts, and you cannot be mommy!

>>149248241 (OP)
The longer she's on screen the cuter she gets

>>149248241 (OP)
She doesn't shave her smelly French pits btw.

>>149248370
>rabu
No no, anon. It's Ratatouille.

Say it with me now: RAT · A · TOO · EE

we've all seen that one image right

why didnt the Chinese Gusteau get his own line?

>>149248241 (OP)
She’s not the main character, and she’s not shoved in your face as “proof” that girls are competent.

>>149249085
Imagine being this stupid.

>>149248241 (OP)
If you've worked in a kitchen, you'd understand. She is realistic and she is raw French sexual power.

>>149250936
Try being a bit more specific...

>>149251822
the one where she is helping him make soup

>>149248241 (OP)
Because she's not the protagonist and people don't fawn over her in the show. She's a secondary mentor/love interest to the bumbling secondary protagonist.
The movie is still all about Remy. You know, the rat.

>>149248241 (OP)
I wanna Boop that cute schnoz !

>>149248580
Euro women don't take shit.

>>149249674
This

>>149248843
No you don't, nothing will make you hate women faster.

>>149248681
>>girlboss.
fuck off with this z**mershit, talk and think like someone who isn't a braindead mong, like the other anon said, she is in a stressfull job where the best is expected

>>149248241 (OP)
because her character wasn't shit.

99% of American "cool" characters are just smug assholes

POST IT

>>149248241 (OP)
because she's actually a great written character

>>149248681
>minorities can only be strong people if its on the past
Braindead mentality

>>149248241 (OP)
I've personally never had an issue with assertive, powerful, dominant or career-oriented woman. I don't consider that the negative descriptor of what a "girlboss" is. I think a girlboss is more when those qualities are aggressively played up to the detriment of any meaningful character or personality, reducing the girl in question to a two-dimensional mary sue whose only mandate is to always win and excel.

There are plenty of girlboss characters who work because they're also human and vulnerable. Collette, Kim Wexler, Joan Harris... Girlbosses aren't in and of themselves a bad thing unless you're a misogynistic incel.

>>149248241 (OP)
I'm supposed to hate her....cause she's good at her job? She barely taught him anything. If Linguini could cook there'd be no movie. I guess this dumb thread is just an excuse to post her.

>>149248794
Even a woman?

>>149252217
It's on the tip of my tongue

>>149254408
This - the archetype isn't inherently bad, it's more that too many writers go too far with it to the detriment of both the characters and narrative.

>>149248241 (OP)
/co/ wasn't mentally ill back then

>>149254408
>Girlbosses aren't in and of themselves a bad thing unless you're a misogynistic incel.
Gatekeep Gaslight Girlboss didn't develop out of nowhere.

>>149255498
that's an ironic joke, anon.

>>149254408
It's a matter of the character still having some feminine qualities. Collette can be tough when necessary but she's also not a bloodless stone who's nothing but sheer toughness. The gag is also inherently built into her, she's extremely French so she will go for even the dumbiest or clumsiest romantic advances.

>>149248580
>>149252629
Italian, French and Spanish women in general tend to stand their ground more, in turn they tend to get slapped around more, but it's a give and take situation.

>>149248241 (OP)
>>149248347

>but you can not be mommy!

What did she mean by this?

>>149255560
>It's a matter of the character still having some feminine qualities.
Nah, I didn't say that. She can be fully masculine, she just still has to be a flawed and vulnerable character with some kind of personality beyond girlbossing.

>>149251112
>You fahrow dream... but dweeam moh tasty with Fortune Combo and one egg-roh!

>>149254198
I like how her eyes don't fully close at the exact same time

>>149248241 (OP)
She's a cutie.

>>149256595
Right? It's a VERY arousing sequence

>>149248241 (OP)
We need footage of her on her motorcycle, having her aerodynamics tested in a wind tunnel.

>>149254390
It's more like minorities only needed to "prove themselves" in the past and in modern times where there's almost zero barriers to entry that mentality comes across as self-important.

>>149258122
some of you whitetoids have yet to break past your self-centered worldview jesus christ it's like the moment religion stopped explaining things, you became the most arrogant genocidal fucks in this blasted fucking universe
no nigga, womän or tranny is out there "proving" themselves. shit's hard if you are not white or have a whitepass (see chinks). even amongst whites, you are not guarenteed shit if you are mutt, or ugly in general. half of you fucks complain all the fucking time about chad fucking your childhold crushes. shit's the same. life has many difficulty settings you dont get to choose.

>>149258200
That's a lot of words to say "check your privilege" lol

Used to have this coworker that this thread reminded me of. Hot, worked in a kitchen, rode a motorcycle. She was one of the few people that I've met that I found so beautiful I had to actively not look at them or else I might end up staring.

>>149254311
ASK NICELY FIRST

>>149248241 (OP)
She and the rest of the staff get outdone by a rat.

>>149259067
Pretty Please

>>149256348
Her tits are fake.

>>149248241 (OP)
Because it's a "classic" and therefore won't be called out for it's subversiveness

>>149259264
She’s a cyborg. Her everything is fake.

>>149259831
Which includes her tits.

>>149259806

>>149256290
Same with finnish women. Except they don't get slapped around until her and her boyfriend are sufficiently drunk first.

>>149248241 (OP)
Have you ever seen a woman so beautiful you started crying?

>>149260347
She has some big feet
