larryhammer: a woman wearing a chain mail hoodie, label: "chain mail is sexy" (chain mail is sexy)
A few weeks ago, there was a discussion (ETA: thanks to [livejournal.com profile] rymenhild for the link) about how WALL-E is not a love story of a boy-robot and a girl-robot, but a love story of a robot who performs butch and a robot who performs femme. Having just seen it, I have to disagree.

WALL-E is a robot performing dork, not butch.

EVE, OTOH, does perform femme. A kick-ass, competent, sleek-and-stylish, saves-her-dorky-botfriend-and-the-day femme. Strongest English-language animated-movie heroine yet.
