Help[Opinions] Re: Can somebody share the bad Lola association with me?
in reply to a message by Princess Magpie
Lola -name of a Kink's song about a trans man and it's pretty cringey and the character is very sexualized
Whatever Lola Wants -film about a girl who becomes a "belly dancer."
Kinky Boots -Film/Musical where Lola is the name of one of the two main characters. Lola is a drag queen (and maybe trans, it never specifies) who is the most sexualized character of the story, even sings a song relating shoes to sex.
Damn Yankees -I know "Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets)" has been mentioned. That's from this film/show. Lola is a mistress (called a "home wrecker") who pressures a man sexually. She's actually introduced as "Lolita Banana" (gross) and then subsequently fired when the man she pressures doesn't give in to her advances (which she's been asked by another man to do). She's treated as a secondary antagonist this whole story, but she's mostly a sexual pawn. (Oh, and I almost forgot she works for the actual devil in this.)
The Blue Angel -A German film about a teacher who gets enthralled with an exotic dancer named Lola and eventually goes insane over her being more successful and more attractive, etc than him. This whole film seems to tell some kind of message of his life being destroyed because she's a sex worker. Yuck.
Shark Tale -Yep, even in kids' animated films, they seductive character is named Lola.
Space Jam -I mean, Lola Bunny may not be a bad character, but she's a sexualized character. She's a freaking rabbit in a kids' movie. Why does she need to be sexualized?
South Park -There's a kid named Lola that is insinuated to be a trans kid in a joking way. Ew, but then again, it's South Park so I feel that's on brand for them. :pukeemoji:
Copacabana -Song does start out with the lyrics, "Her name was Lola / She was a showgirl."
I don't think there is anything wrong with a sexualized character (or real person), but unnecessarily sexualized women bother me. And I wouldn't want to name a child anything that will immediately make a stranger associate sexual thoughts with them. Imagine introducing your toddler and someone immediately thinks something sexual because of her name. I mean, that's gross. I'd stay far away from it.
