I blame the wave of #girlboss feminism (mostly adopted by white women) in the 2010s for erasing media literacy and like... just basic thinking and making everyone hate disney princesses with their "terrible messages" for little girls. like. were people even watching the movies?

#oh i fell for that too for a second #i mean sure there are obviously plenty of things that did not age well and we should critique about the princess movies #but come on #ariel did not give up her voice for a man were you listening to part of your world?#and cinderella was a fucking badass ok #the conversation surrounding the movies that came after 2010 #u guys remember how Elsa and anna were praised for being feminist icons #dont get me started on remakes #when they did beauty and the beast and they lowkey promoted belle as being better than the others bcs she reads books #i think ppl forgot that the remakes only emphasised these quote on quote girlboss empowering traits in the remakes #key word being emphasised not ADDED #bcs THOSE TRAITS WERE ALWAYS THERE PPL JUST FORGOT
