I see them as the same, and even if they weren't, the Weatherford case was definitely similar. In order for it to be a "totally different situation completely", the American Colonists would actually agreed with the British word for word, and not have protested at all, basically acting as mindless slaves.
If I had to choose between having Misty being overused and having the girls acting like Love Hina, the Anime version of Sonsaku Hakufu, the triplets from beauty and the beast, and the like (in other words, acting like complete bimboes whose sole purpose is to garner eyecandy), I'd rather HAVE Misty be overused and be the same if it means one less show promoting the Female Anime stereotype, since I do NOT want any more of that horrible stereotype being broadcasted, and thus, promoted to our younger generation of females.
It is already bad enough that Teen Pregnancies have risen quite a bit so as to become a big problem, thus ruining the sanctity of marriage, as well as the whole modeling and porn industry poisoning teenage/little girls minds (and even teenage/little boys minds, since they'll grow up thinking that girls must be bimboes thanks to those, thus creating new Gaston-esque men every year, something I do not want.) about how they feel they should look, among other things. Basically, Misty's our only chance left in trying to create a role model for kids to emulate, seeing how Ariel and Belle had basically been FUBAR'd by those jerks at the Disney Princess Department by making her no different than the whole modeling crisis and vanity promoting that has been brought into this planet, and DBZ is what some kids now and these days would consider "old school" and "not hip", as it doesn't have any new episodes.
And since when is trying to save the female population, as well as the human race, from going down a path of self-destruction considered "Greedy". If I were greedy in my intentions, I would have felt "screw them, I'll enjoy my shows without caring about what happens to anyone else. Heck, I'll only be concerned with myself." If anything, you seem to be the one whose greedy, seeing how you only care about being entertained instead of any long term effects that people might pick up from the show.
In that case, it's because she has had some knowledge in the development of TLM.
You can tell that to Weatherford and her ideas, seeing how the writers actually listened to her in regards to Jynx.
