People annoy me, part 2,386,330

I thought I'd revive this instead of taking over the pissed off thread.

Once again, someone online is annoying me. At hulu. I can't figure out why people can't just post like reasonable adults or skip the threads they think are stupid entirely.

I'm watching Grimm, which has turned out to be a pretty damn good show. However they keep showing blonde characters as being more attractive and desirable which has always been a sore spot with me since I was a little kid and the best selling doll was blonde bimbo Barbie. So for the latest episode which is roughly based on Cinderella, I wrote:

What made Lucinda the beautiful sister?

From "Happily Ever Aftermath," Season 1, Episode 20.

Because she's blonde? Because she wore those ridiculous high heeled 'slippers' with the feathers on the arch and generally acted like a brainless bimbo? Granted, the actress is very pretty but I thought the step sisters were as well.
I thought the old trope of brunettes being plain janes was in the past but this show keeps digging it up.

So I get a mixed bag of replies that vary from thoughtful and intelligent to mildly stupid but this one pushed my "I'd like to pop you in the nose" button:

Ali is trying to say that you can't blame one show alone for an archaic thought in our society...oh and by the way the second sister is a redhead not a brunette, so, yeah...
okay on to my point! Mary, get off your soapbox and watch the show. Every time i read the comments, there you are with your feminist views. i acknowledge your right to your opinion but it's really getting old.
and who is anyone to judge which actress is pretty and which is not? the actress for the hexenbiest is very pretty but they purposefully made her up and filmed her so that she would look off to emphasize that she was a witch.
that's how this show works, they use the film style to give you clues about the characters.

What the fuck? I'm usually commenting about how hot the captain is, or other silly remarks. I've never said anything about an actress being unattractive and in fact, I've mentioned that most of them were good looking. Was it feminist to ask why the blonde was considered better looking? Weird. I probably shouldn't have answered her but I did:

Are you out of your mind? For one thing, you make feminism sound like a bad thing. For another, and the most important, I don't make feminist remarks on here, you dolt. I'm merely asking some opinions. If you don't like my comments, skip them.

Perhaps you're confusing me with someone else. Otherwise your remark is nonsensical and foolish.

Then there's this bit of brilliance:

You must not be blonde. You sound like a jealous high school student council girl who rags on blondes. You aren't fooling anyone, brunette.

My reply:

Are you aware that anyone can be blonde? Thanks for your thoughtful input.

I didn't think my original post was that aggressive but it really brought out some weird remarks.
