If you are a person who shits on classic disney princesses read this
you are embarrassing yourself. most the shit youve said isnt true.
cinderella wasnt "waiting for a man" she was raised in an abusive household by a step mother who veiwed her as less and made her act as a maid.
aurora being asleep most her movie isnt her fault. she was cursed.
snow white was an abused girl who was happy to be with the dwarves and even happier to get her prince i dont know why thats considered terrible. wouldnt you be overjoyed if someone took you to live in a whole ass castle???
ariel was a curious girl who loved to learn about humans. she was as much as an anthropologist as she could be in her situation. and her dad literally DESTROYED all her special possessions in front of her only for ursula to use her distress to manipulate her. she wanted to be human- getting derek was a bonus.
you dont shit on anna for ending up with kristoff in the end do you? you dont shit on belle for loving the beast [unless its that stockholme syndrome debate]. i dont see you guys talking about real disney princess issues like pochahontus in general or the fact tiana was a frog most of her movie adding to the trend of poc being animals in disney movies.
and a lot of you just love the villains- proclaiming theyre better than the protagonists and theyre innicent.
ursula manipulated a vulnerable teenage girl and then tried to kill her and derek along with many others who were on that ship.
malefacent cursed a fuckin baby.
hades was creepy as hell to meg and literally owned her.
jafars a fucking creep who perved on a 16 year old girl.
like- you can totally enjoy them as villains its why disney villains are looked to as this like expectations for villains almost, but dont act like theyre good people or theyre better than the protagonist they hurt. especially when youre JUST mocking the princesses- that shit reeks of victim blaming and mysoginy.
grow up. being kind and persevering like the disney princesses do will always be better than treating people like shit like the disney villains do.
