@ARCtheCartoonMaster
@SimonR Sounds like you're not really a fan of the show and/or don't understand it (or at least Lisa's character) if that's your view on Lisa.
Dude, I've been watching the show since I was a kid, and Lisa is by far the most annoying character on the show. She constantly spouts crap that no kid her age would care about, like when Texas was admitted, or the corruption in government.
And Lisa an "intolerable SJW" in Lisa vs Malibu Stacey? Pleez. That's actually one of my favourite season 5 episodes, and Lisa getting annoyed about a doll spouting sexist platitudes is actually very realistic and how many intelligent girls around Lisa's age would act.
Well, you clearly don't understand what girls are like, because most girls aren't feminists who whine about sexism on a daily basis. This is exactly the kind of thing Anita Sarkeesian whines about on her Feminist Frequency channel, and many people - including women - have called her out on her BS. Feminists don't speak for all women, and this is why so many women reject feminism nowadays - because it treats them as a monolithic entity.
Most girls at Lisa's age generally don't care about that stuff. If they really don't like something, they just ignore it and indulge in something they do like. Like... have you never heard of tomboys? They're the ultimate proof that girls are capable of thinking for themselves and doing their own thing, rather than doing what "da meeja" tells them. Hell - there was even a Season 4 episode where Bart had a crush on a tomboy, so clearly even the Simpsons writers knew they exist. So how come she wasn't affected by the talking Malibu Stacy doll or anything similar? How dumb do you think girls are?
If a girl is actually intelligent as you claim they are, she will likely reject feminism, as it is a means to indoctrinate young women into a perpetual state of victimhood, and take offense to every little thing. She should have the strong will to just be herself, do her own thing, and not care what anyone thinks of her. How dumb must Lisa be that a freaking doll crushes her spirit? Just let kids be kids for a change!
I strongly recommend you watch the show Hilda sometime. That show focuses on a bright, plucky, adventurous young girl who loves exploring the wilderness and befriending all sorts of weird creatures. She doesn't let a talking doll damage her self-esteem; she doesn't constantly whine about sexism or anything else most girls her age don't care about; she just does her own thing and solves problems diplomatically. In my opinion, she is a far superior role model that young girls might actually relate to and look up to, instead of that whiny feminist tool Lisa.
Or better yet, just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00XwuVDlOWw These two little girls just watched a movie that was specifically targeted at children - i.e. their demographic - and they tore it to bits. If this doesn't scream "girls aren't stupid and can think for themselves", then I don't know what does.
And likewise, I'm planning to do something similar with my own upcoming comic series, about a young girl with autism who aspires to become a professional musician when she's older. In many ways, this character, named Adele, is very similar to Lisa, and I'd be lying if I said she wasn't at all inspired by her - she's very intelligent for her age, she learned to read at age 2, she's been playing music since she was 6, and at the age of 10 she's already writing her own songs.
What separates her from Lisa, however, is that Adele is not a feminist. To her, being a girl is just the normal, default condition - she's been a girl her whole life, most of the people in her life are female, so she doesn't find anything weird or strange about possessing lady bits. In fact, she takes more offense to sexism against boys, because she views them as the "other" sex that needs looking out for, and she constantly witnesses how boys are picked on by girls with the "girls rule, boys drool" mindset that plagues her modern society, and she tries to put a stop to it wherever possible. (She's kind of an MRA in that regard, actually.)
On top of that, I will have a character designed specifically to take the piss out of Lisa - she's basically a whiny soapbox Sadie who spends less time being a kid, and more time whining about social issues that the other kids at her school don't care about, such as "muh wimmin in videogames", for example; which, of course, Adele takes huge offense to, since she hates that this girl throws her gender under the bus for cheap attention.
I want to show girls that it's okay to not be a feminist, and it's okay for girls to actually think for themselves instead of blinding following along with feminism just because they have vaginas. But at the same time, she also has a best friend who's a much more rational feminist - they have disagreements, but Adele worries more that her friend worries too much about pointless crap rather than her being an outright loony like the other girl. It's my way of showing that feminists aren't inherently bad, but it's not necessary to be a feminist either, especially in today's world when women have it made. (Well, in the Western world, anyway - feminists should focus their attention on Third World countries, where women actually need feminism.)
Anyway, that's about all I have to say for now. If you're curious, you may check out my ArtStation where I upload my character concept art: https://www.artstation.com/sambateman

Here’s The Incredibles parody of this short:
(Bob shoves the kids to the room)
Bob: Get in there!
Helen: And clean up that mess!
Violet: Do we have to?
Bob: Yep.
Dash: Why?
Helen: Because we’re the parents and you’re the children.
(door slams shut)
Violet: Oh no, this’ll take forever!
Dash: I’ve got a plan. You guys clean up, and I’ll tell you a story.
Violet: Oh, brother.
Dash: Once upon a time, there was a planet where the children were the parents and the parents were the children.
(transits to Dash’s fantasy with the adult-sized Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack and the children-sized Bob and Helen)
(Adult Dash shoves the tiny parents to the room)
Adult Dash: Get in there!
Adult Violet: And clean up that mess!
Child Helen: Do we have to?
Adult Dash: Yep.
Child Bob: Why?
Adult Violet: Because we’re the children and you’re the parents.
(door slams shut)
Child Helen: Oh no, this’ll take forever!
Child Bob: I’ve got a plan. You clean up, and I’ll tell you a story.
Child Helen: Forget it!
(back to real life)
Dash: And then…
(door bursts open)
Helen: Dash!
(Bob storms in, grabs Dash, and yanks him out of the room)
Bob: If you won’t help your siblings, then get out there and mow the lawn!
(Jack-Jack taps Violet’s arm)
Violet: How does Dash’s story end? Well, everyone lived happily ever after.
(Violet and Jack-Jack look out the window and wave at Dash while he frustratingly mows the lawn)

@ARCtheCartoonMaster
@ladyfire44 She was already an intolerable SJW in the early seasons. Didn't you see "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy"?
Also, have you seen the early seasons lately? She was incredibly intolerable with how she was not written like an actual kid, and more like an adult in a kid's body. What kid actually know that Texas wasn't always a state, when it was admitted, what Hebrew sounds like, etc.?
