D*sney has been so bashed and criticized for supposedly "programming" little girls into seeing themselves as nothing more than so-called "Damsels in Distress" that they now obstinately refuse to include a princess character being saved/rescued or helped by a male hero, having a male love interest and proudly embrace her more feminine side because, y'know, they are sKrONg INdepAndeNT WHameN™ that need no man to rescue them!!!! #girlpower #girlboss

#anti disney #disney princesses #text #i'm so tired of people bashing the damsel in distress trope so much. like if that was the female character's only trait i'd understand the #criticism but most damsels in distress i've seen are usually pretty nice cool awesome beautiful etc so where's the problem???? #make disney princesses unapologetically damsels in distress in need of rescuing from their dashing love interests again!!! #yeah sure it's nice to see a lady rescue herself from time to time but imho that doesn't have quite the same thrill as a dashing hero #rescuing and saving her dear maiden does. i'm sorry but i don't get the same feeling from the woman just doing it on her own #there's something so classic and beautiful about seeing a male love interest saving the woman he loves. why do people hate that so much??? #people just see negativity in everything including classic tropes and storytelling #his** #disney has been pushing feminism so hard since frozen came out. i mean disney has been promoting feminism since the '80s beginning with tlm #(as much as i adore that film because it's a clasic ariel is iconic eric is hot the supporting cast is exceptional the music is everything #yeah yeah i know) but they've been going pretty hard since frozen. that film made it obvious #i don't care about raya at all but i could talk all day about cinderella
