Comment on Disney Princesses & Dissapearing Waistlines by Emily

Emily — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:18:01 +0000

Just stumbled upon this after watching Snow White and realizing how normal she looks compared to hourglass-shaped princesses like Jasmine–I wanted to point out, in the images you have above of the first three princesses, you are using Disney’s redrawn and updated version. If you pull an image of Snow White from the original movie, her waist line is even more “normal” (and demonstrates your point even more dramatically). Cinderella, too, isn’t so bad. They look like realistic women–a shape we don’t see again from the Disney princess line until Mulan. Nice article, thanks.

Comment on The Cult of Heteronormativity by Rei

Rei — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:00:59 +0000

Well said! 8D I’m sick of people telling me that they “tolerate” my “lifestyle choices”. There is nothing to “tolerate,” I’m gay, I’ll be getting a boyfriend/husband instead of a girlfriend/wife… GET OVER IT! I completely agree with you! If we have to be force fed all the hetero stuff then they should have to get over themselves and let us be! Equality is equality jerks!

Nicely written! I very much agree, I’ve been trying to find a show that makes being gay completely normal and it is hard to find (even on outTV!). Their sexuality is usually shown as a plot device and it hardly ever ends in a “happily ever after” ending that heteros have. I personally would love to see more gay men just being people, not “gay” not “men” just regular people with the same issues everyone else in the world has. There have been some amazing lesbian movies that give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside but it seems like us gay men can never find our own happy ending (I’ve only found two movies that ended well). This heteronormativity has made me incredably depressed in the past and made it so I almost felt like I didn’t stand a chance at happiness and definitely didn’t deserve to… so this needs to stop.

In my experience people who comment on an author’s (real or imagined) size instead of what the person actually wrote don’t have any legitimate information to back up their opinion ;)

I don’t HATE Disney, nor was I calling for a fat princess either (though there’d be nothing wrong with that.) Instead, I was asking Disney for some body DIVERSITY (princesses that come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, just like real girls do) which should not be that big of a deal.

(Also, no idea where you pulled the “positive cartoon image” quote from as I didn’t write that anywhere above.)
