Harrock was listed twice on the list of names Bianca calls the Captain. Deleted the second one. BurkeDevlin -- 4/13/2007

I wonder how this claim for a connection between Aino Ackté and Castafiore is subtantiated? Should it be explained in the article? A reference would be nice too. --Isidorus Finn (talk) 15:20, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Misogyny?
The article currently states that Castafiore "is an opera singer whose demeanor comically aggravates Captain Haddock's stereotyped sea-captain misogyny as she pops up in adventure after adventure." (wikilink to Misogyny by me). I don't see it sourced anywhere, and it's not mentioned in the Captain Haddock-article either. From the cartoons I see Haddock as being more of a conservative gender stereotype (a the woman belongs in the kitchen-kindda guy), rather than an actual hate or dislike of women/girls. --188.120.84.168 (talk) 05:52, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I authored the phrase in question. Perhaps we're over-analyzing comic book characters! I meant that Tintin characters are comic stereotypes (political correctness being utterly alien to French and Belgian comics, wherein gender and ethnic stereotypes and caricatures abound), and the cultural stereotype Haddock fulfills is one of a sea captain who went to sea in part because he is unable to deal with women. You can call him misogynistic or gender stereotyping or whatever you wish, but that was my point, for what it's worth :) JacquesDelaguerre (talk) 22:09, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
