Disney Princess Franchise compared to Steven Universe
Disney be like we can’t make a plus size princess because fat equals ugly and poor health
Rebecca be like
Disney be like drawing emotions on girls is hard! They must be pretty all the time.
Rebecca be like
Disney be like we can’t make more than two dynamic female characters otherwise it’s too girly and boys won’t watch
Rebecca be like “most of my cast is female”
Disney be like boys must be manly and taugh
Rebecca be like “that’s not what makes a boy a boy nor a man a man.”
Disney be like interracial couple looks like a White man with an exotic female
Rebecca be like “that’s not the only image”
Disney be like “No lesbians but we’ll give you two sisters.”
Rebecca be like
Disney be like Mulan was enough. Tiana was enough. You don’t need anymore representation than that one character. Besides White is normal. White is easier to relate to for audiences. A successful poc cast does not work. We tried.
Rebecca be like “look at my cast!”
Disney be like no moms and if she is there the story was more about the protagonist’s relationship with the dad than.
Rebecca be like “why not four moms?”
Disney be like Disney princess can’t have female friends. She can only be supported by talking male animals.
Rebecca be like:
Disney be like “we’ll make on or two tomboy warrior princesses but they can’t look to far away from our other princesses. Thicker body and muscles is too masculine and unappealing to look at”
Rebecca be like:
Disney be like princess must be rescued by male character or ironically save the male character so show how we can be feminist
Rebecca be like “Why not have them work together?”
Disney be like we can’t give our princesses character growth because that would mean we would have to give them flaws and real goals but princesses aren’t suppose to have flaws!
Rebecca be like:
Disney be like “no small people unless they are supporting someone else.”
Rebecca: “Or they can have their own wants, desires, and needs.”
Disney be like only time a woman will direct a animated project is if she is co director or w pull her away from her own project. (Brave)
Rebecca be like “I own this shit”
