The first appearance of Smurfette had a lot of "women are nothing but trouble" gags. Grouchy Smirf's reaction to her was great, tho.

hahaha oh boy
> In an attempt to get started on their Smurf cartoon, NBC and Hanna Barbera executives needed to get some background. One of the questions they asked was about the nature of Smurfette. Peyo responded in French, "She is pretty, blond, she has all the characteristics of women..."
> The interpreter, knowing how progressive the United States was regarding woman's rights, interpreted Peyo's words as "she has all the qualities of women". The interpreter knew that Peyo spoke virtually no English and provided a politically correct "translation".
> Peyo went on to say, in French, "She seduces, she uses trickery rather than force to get results. She is incapable of telling a joke without blowing the punch line. She is a blabbermouth but only makes superficial comments. She is constantly creating enormous problems for the Smurfs but always manages to blame it on someone else". The interpreter tried to minimize these comments.
> Finally, one of the US participants asked if Smurfette would be at least able to save the Smurfs if they were in danger - could she make important decisions to save her fellow Smurfs? Peyo, upon hearing this translated into French, was astounded - he replied "Come on now, do they expect me to make her a (female) gym teacher?" The interpreter did not translate this remark into English.

Let's get started, shall we?

The life of a translator must be hard.

Can't say I would stay and read since it's late and I already read it many times, but godspeed user.
And yeah, the whole "here little creatures, there's one hundred of them, and not a single woman" could work if you considered them kinda sexless, but the moment you go "actually they're not sexless, I will introduce a woman who was created literally to sow discord among them" it becomes harder to defend.

harder to defend? wym
