As an aside, here's the shirt I'm wearing today:



It's from ShirtPunch, so Nickelodeon didn't get any of the $$ I spent on it.

Nah, just lines in general or even band shirts.

Well that's fine, but my point was specifically targeted to the non-existant TMNT women's shirts.

Telling potential consumers that you don't want their money is bad for business.

In conclusion, you can take a flying leap into traffic for your blatant attempt to dismiss my valid arguments by trying to pull the "you're too emotional" card.

i'm not trying to refute how you feel about this, but sdp DID point out that there's a very small market for this particular group of fandom. yes, in general terms, this fandom is large-ish. (kinda...tmnt has legacy, sure, but it's sadly not harry potter or star wars or even transformers) But he said specifically that as an 1) ADULT 2)FEMALE fan of a property aimed primarily at 1)TWEEN 2)BOYS, you're kinda sol.

that sucks. it really does and i whole-heartedly agree that there is more boot-leg stuff that appeals to said market of ladies, but to say he's wrong is just...well, wrong.

if this were twilight, where twi-moms are just as prevalent as their tweenage twi-hard children, then i could see your point about the companies essentially refusing money that would otherwise be thrown at them as having more validity, but the fact of the matter is that they're going to care about small boys first, then MAYBE small girls, then adult fans (focusing on men first then women, unfortunately)

i went to walmart and got myself a grown-mans nick tmnt shirt. my fiance couldn't find one that fit her or a design she liked. what she did find was a generic ot style donnie shirt that said i love nerds. she didnt buy it. its obvious the marketing people dont have a clue as to what fan-women want, and i think its not as important to them because in the end, hey, its a "kids show for lil boys" and theres not ENOUGH OF a market for anyone else.

and i mean all of this respectfully, in the spirit of discussion, so please dont tell me to take a flying leap into traffic.

true. I known female friends that buy male shirts of TMNT and the like because they still want the shirts, but there aren't any female shirts for them... so they say 'screw it' and buy the male shirt.
