I don't know why. But, on one hand, I understand. I get it. Some people relate to Encanto through other means not like it's original purpose. Like making statements that they see a specific character as disabled, or ND, or with a specific chronic illness. It's like that with every media. You see parts of yourself, no matter the media's intents or purposes, such as a Trans-experience in Harry Potter, or a Queer-experience in a non-Queer show's protagonist.
But on the other hand. Its extremely frustrating.
As a Latine, to see a movie that means so much to an entire generation of Hispanics and Latines, get reduced to something as minute as "🥺🥺 Bruno was outcasted because he was ND" or "🥺🥺🥺 Dolores is literally autistic and nobody is talking about this impact within the movie"
It's.. very very frustrating. In the same sense that Mr. Beast is recreating Squid Game beat-for-beat while ignoring the purpose of the message level of frustrating.
It's like. Encanto is very clearly visibly about Generational Trauma, the trauma that comes from immigration, the displacement of families, the expectations of elders within a Latine family, and the dynamics one must uphold as a Fellow Latine. They literally highlight this with the animated short with the Raccoons.
So seeing these people (Mainly White) grab what is clearly meant to be about the generational trauma inflicted upon children of displaced elders (aka: Immigrant Families) within Latine culture-- and just
Take it at face value? Ignore it? Make "uwu its all about being Gay, obviously~" ?
I don't know how to put it in words. But it is extremely frustrating.

I wonder if TERFs know that AMAB people have nipples because all embryos are “female” in the early stages-

Imagine Shadow teaching the kiddos how to use firecrackers during races in S, like if he wanted to help give them some Edge in a race
In return they can teach him their own cool techniques

I made a promise to myself that I'd leave my hair alone and grow it out but-
I'd look so hot if I decided to shave both sides of my head

Do you ever think of that episode of darkwing duck where Gosalyn has a gun in her face as darkwarrior tells her how terrible she is (you know, the spirited ‘problem child’ who sat in an orphanage for a year until she and Drake crossed paths); and then Gos goes back to the past and it’s never mentioned again? Because I do.
