1. Animating female characters is hard, guys. Just ask the animators for Jem and the Holograms or Daria. I'm sure they have lots of tales of woe--after all, they managed to have more than one female character (unlike this idiot at Disney).

2. It is sparktober again. Yay.

And it wasn't even about all the hair, which is objectively more complicated to animate than, like, lizard skin. It was about the facial expressions. Because we all know women have more of those than men. (Or is it less? Since apparently it's difficult to animate two women and not have them look the same.)

Yeah, I could totally get behind hair being more difficult--because in women, hair is pretty different and idealistic. (dudes probably have similar variety, but you can get away with "short" and leave it at that)

But facial expressions. Because women are just more sensitive. Or something.

(I should add ReBoot to the list of "cartoons that managed multiple women without problems")
