I am seriously supposed to just sit here and pretend it was not predestined for the man named LUMIERE to be turned into a CANDLE, the man named COGSworth to be turned into a CLOCK, or for Mrs. POTTS to be turned into a goddamn teaPOT????

The Beast abused Belle and he doesn’t deserve her or her love, get over it💅
Disclaimer: Like whatever you want to like, I don’t care. However, the excuses people keep making and the wishful thinking people keep having around Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) can be Frustrating with a capital F. Here’s why that is...
Most adaptations of Beauty and the Beast, especially Disney's animated adaptation from 1991, hinge on a romance that is based on abduction, imprisonment, isolation, manipulation, and other forms of abuse perpetrated by the titular Beast.
It's super weird how people will jump through all the hoops to make claims that Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991) is somehow so progressive or inspiring to the masses. Stating that it's a story about bettering one's own self, mutual respect, friendship, redemption, and other such absolute nonsense, at least in the context of this particular property. Pretty sure a story, particularly a narrative targeted at children, can be about all those lovely things without a character imprisoning, isolating, threatening, and abusing their intended love interest like a total bastard. That and a character can be redeemed all without being romantically coupled with another character they abused. It doesn’t matter that he seemingly changed for the better, the Beast still abused Belle and still got exactly what he wanted in the end: her. Additionally, the circumstances under which Belle became the Beast's prisoner don't matter, because the Beast has all the control over her. Belle """offering/agreeing""" to become his prisoner in place of her father was done under duress; "but she offered/agreed to it" does not hold up under scrutiny, y'all should know that.
There's also the fact that without Belle acting as the catalyst for this so-called change, the Beast wouldn't have become a better person; he ultimately had to rely on Belle to start changing himself. Like it or not, it's Belle's role in the story to rehabilitate the Beast and help him better himself; it is the abused person's responsibility to improve the life of their abuser. Furthermore, there are more than enough stories that follow this trend of a man abusing a woman and somehow winning her and her love at the end as a reward and Disney’s BatB is just one example of this. It’s as if finally becoming a decent person guarantees that a presumably reformed abuser will be rewarded with the love of the person they antagonized and traumatized. That’s not a totally terrible message for kids at all, clearly. No sirree, it’s fun for the whole family!🙄
It's rich knowing how these same fans, especially those who simp hardcore for the intellectual property, will be hyper critical of the 2017 Disney iteration. Finally, they'll point out how the relationship between Belle and the Beast is toxic or whatever. It's like: God, you're all so close to truly realizing that the original film is also wretched in that regard. However, it's usually all just a front to mercilessly shit on Emma Watson and brand her with the Not My Belle™️ moniker. Thus, most criticism is pretty hollow and even misogynistic with the sheer volume of rather vitriolic """criticism""" she gets, all while her counterpart Dan Stevens, who plays the Beast btw, receives virtually none. I get it friendos, BatB (2017) is bad, but arguably the original sin from 1991 is much worse and deserves much more ire for representing a very troubled, bad romance.
In the (Disney) BatB fandom, there's so much energy spent exempting the Beast from any responsibility of his mistreatment and downright abuse of Belle/Beauty and pretty much anyone else around him. At every turn, the Beast is absolved of any responsibility for his horrid actions, that or his abusive tendencies are absurdly minimized. Sometimes, Belle is even blamed for being abused by the Beast! For example: Beast told her not to go to the West Wing, so she deserves to be assaulted and threatened by him. Dear Lord, that’s some spicy victim blaming!🥵 Or sometimes, the fandom will reason that because Belle is strong willed and feisty in the face of the Beast's abuse, she's totally fine in this situation… as the Beast continues to undermine her autonomy by holding her prisoner while intimidating and verbally harassing her???🙃
It's almost comical to witness these Beast simps compare him to the likes of Edward Cullen from Twilight, Kylo Ren from Star Wars, and other less than stellar romantic leads only to very ironically treat the Beast as if he’s so much better than the rest!🤣 Like, goodness the lack of self-awareness is so real. Kyle Ron, Edwin Cullen, AND Beast aka Adum, are all dogshit lovers, let’s not play games with this.  
The ongoing popularity of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and the rather obtuse, even hypocritical fandom that keeps it alive are just such an annoying bummer. I swear one of these days I’m going to make a huge project of some kind dedicated to how Beauty and the Beast-type stories are entwined with issues of (internalized) misogyny, romanticizing and normalizing abusive relationships and domestic violence in mass media, the privileging of violent men  and monstrosity often being displayed as an inherently male trait in patriarchal society, the false narrative that abused people must forgive and even rehabilitate their abusers, and so on. There’d be a lot to discuss. For now, there’s just this very informal snippet. 
Oh! Also, before I forget, and I mean this with all my heart, fuck Disney.

Okay. In Disney's Beauty and the Beast, there's a lyric Mrs. Potts sings in "Be Our Guest" that has decided to haunt me.
"I've had the napkins freshly pressed."
Some of those napkins are people. Do they...enjoy being pressed? What's that even like for them? When they become people again, how are their previous pressings going to affect them psychologically? Are they going to crave things like weighted blankets or was being pressed a traumatic experience?
I know I'm overthinking it, but I just had to get it out of my brain.
Enjoy!
