Disney Part 2

So continuing on from yesterday's rant of how shit Disney Princess's are...

1. So on to Belle. She does appear to be smarter than the others, she actually reads books. Wow. She does something other than housework or singing and making friends with animals. Evidently none of the Princesses have the best people skills. And she does reject Gaston, who is (apparently) handsom and rich and all that, but a total dick. So yay her, he just wants someone to be a mother/housewife. So we're back to that again. But at least Belle had the balls to tell him where to go, since none of the other Princesses bothered they just went along with the shit dealt to them. She also had the balls to go save her dad and live with "the beast" who is really just a prince with a curse on him. Of course it would never be that simple, she tries to run away but gets attacked by wolves and can't save herself. Lucky for her the beast has a heart after all and swoops in to save the day. She nurses him to health, the fall in love, defeat Gaston and life happy ever after. Again.

2. And on to Jasmine. She starts out by running off to live as a commoner and meets Aladdin, a street rat. Turns out her dad is trying to force a marriage on her. So in swoops Aladdin. He pretends to be a prince and lies the entire relationships but it's fine, since he eventually saves her from Jafar and confesses. So as long as the guy eventually tells the truth and saves you from evil then it's fine he can be a lying scumbag. *I love Aladdin but it is pretty shit on Jasmine.* Moral of the story, fall for the guy fed you bullshit. 

3. There is Pocahontas and Mulan who are not quite as bad as the rest but are still shit. And then Merida, who is kick ass and takes no shit! But I can't be arsed getting into that right now. 

So Disney has great role modes. And magic false expectations. Maybe one day the guy who always lies to you will become your prince. Or running away and loosing a show will help you get a guy. Or just be an amazing housewife. No thanks. Real life is so much more interesting. 

*Be right back away to find a fictional prince.
