OT April a tomboy? - Page 2

well no that is what you said was the defination of a tomboy. That is if April was challenging the boys to full content foot ball she might be considered a tomboy, thats why asked if you would consider her a tomboy if she was challenging the boys to spar with her, would that make her a tomboy by your defination since its a full contact activity?

When I said "if that's your definition of a tomboy" I didn't mean it was your personal definition...I was just trying to point out that everyone's definition of what a tomboy is, is different...that's all. It really depends on what your or anyone else's personal definition of a tomboy is and I already stated I don't feel OT April is a tomboy at all.

You had mentioned that you felt like people were making it seem like it's a bad thing to be a tomboy and I was just responding that I don't think it's a bad thing to be a tomboy.

None of the above. No tomboy uses her boobs and mindless flirting the way OT April did, but I wouldnt say she's self sufficient, either.

I never saw her going out of her way to seduce anyone. Or flirt, for that matter.

She did crave being captured, tho.

I agree with Darth Shredder. When did April ever act like a mindless flirt in the series?

April was quite feminine! She wasn't stupid, but she where acting like a bimbo from time to time.

I think you're thinking of Irma not April. Irma was the one that occassianally behaved like a bimbo.

And April did, once in a while flirt to get what she wanted.

Ryona made a comment about April in the first live action movie, that she mingled with the turtles like she was just like on of the guys; and I think that is a pretty good observation. She did mingle with them like she was just like them instead of acting like a demure blushing lady that wasn't on equal footing with the turtles.

What I think is cool is that it didn't take away from her at all and I think it actually made her more appealing as a female character to be able to do that. I think guys like it when a girl can act like your best pal that you can exchange a few jokes with rather than dainty damsel you have to pull out her chair for or kiss her hand.

you know who would be considered a tomboy. Karai, she wears her hair short and shys away from guys who show an interest in her (or at least she did).

NameGoesHere1066 · 11-26-2008, 01:43 AM

how does that make Karai a tomboy? Lots of girls have short and shy away from guys can be feminine.

Now if you want to see a butch mannish female all you got to do is look at the Dr. Abigale Finn to see a he-she. I mean yikes! And Casey's mother something of a battle axe her self. Jeeze she looks like a scrawny guy with long hair.
