In the first article, it has clearly stated the misconceptions of the ideal male body image seen through action toys and the medical disorders it can cause to a male or female human being. One of most common disorder that is affecting men is body dysmorphic disorder, which develops obessional preoccupations. This disorder causes a great dissatisfaction within a males mind,basically causing instability.After numerous investigation,it has been proven that males over time have become influenced by the action toys produced. "Most of the older figures possesed powers beyond those of a human being than the contemporary ones today,"according to the article, these non-human powers created a false and dangerous hope to fans of the older figures. Figures of star wars such as Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo have acquired the physiques of body builders over the past 20 years; these figures are directly related to real-life human body builders.The authors of this article were clearly able to send their message to current and potential drilled-minded males who believe in these ideal cartoon figures.
In the second article, the author has insufficently expressed her points. Kim Franke-Folstad is defending these cartoon figures aganist any accusations made by critics. Franke-Folstad was not being realistic to her audience,she was directly detattaching the effects of the contemporary figures on males and females.
