Shrek is woke because every main villain was a white person in a position of power who weaponized the status quo or tried to erase marginalized groups in some way.

#shrek #shrek 2 #shrek the third #shrek the third rewrite #shrek forever after #dreamworks #how my oc villain Bruce works is he embodies toxic masculinity and tries to make Charming into a badass warrior (it fails) #meanwhile Rapunzel is toxic feminitity; how rich white people use class & gender roles to punish those who stray from them #gwynn and rhodanthe being two black girls they struggle with their identity & how they can never fit White Ideals #but thats okay bc they learn to embrace their culture/traits & become better people for them #meanwhile Rapunzel loses all her friendships (&hair) chasing after a guy who doesnt see her as a person #and Bruce loses EVERYTHING bc his son ends up thinking for himself and who he wants to be: a hair stylist
