the personal for FeministDisney.
Weird poetry, photographs I take with crappy cameras, thoughts, petulance probably, et cetera
I now kinda hate the end of the day because it’s almost the most daunting time like
the next time I can have fun is after I get up and go to work and then I’ll probably be too tired or out of it again to do much, just like always, and why am I keeping up this charade of feeling like there’s something to look forward to there is nothing
bleh
ok but to continue a discussion as if it didn’t end 4 days ago, ANOTHER reason I don’t agree that the super rich earn their money is that the super higher ups in corporations are *the* people buying votes via super pacs and promising positions to government officials for after office- they pay thousands of dollars to get MILLIONS of dollars in corporate tax cuts. And a chunk of these cuts go into their pockets. So no, when you basically steal from the American public and single handedly help further the divide between the poor and the rich, you are NOT entitled to keep your money. Hand over a portion in higher taxes- it’s the least you can do in a country where obscene wealth can be used to generate wealth literally by doing nothing other than pressing a few keys, while a large portion of people try to support their families on minimum wage that hasn’t *kept up* with the poverty line and is usually below it for most regions.
Just sayin anyway not a total socialist just gotta lotta feelins about fairness
There needs to be more feminists who stand up for men’s rights.
the tag that says sexism works both ways tho
idk IMO you’re not ready to take up the title of feminist if you haven’t yet jumped the hurtle called “understanding how oppression operates in society” like… yknow…? Very basic…
look who’s finally joined!
look who got pushed to the side
Wow, move Tiana over one and suddenly all the PoC princesses are in the very back. I mean, did the people that made this lineup not see how racist this appears?
Mhmm. So not surprised
ew i hate the redesign and also why would you put Mulan in the outfit she wore to see the matchmaker, which she hated because it didn’t really represent her?
GOD DAMMIT MULAN IS NOT A PRINCESS SHE MARRIED A GENERAL
I like how someone read all this and at the end of it all was truly outraged that…
Mulan is in the lineup
Maybe they didn’t mean it like they didn’t think Mulan didn’t deserve in the line-up… Maybe they were frustrated that the only way to put her in a line-up/give her merchandise was to make her a “princess” when they don’t think that reflects who she is? But I don’t know.
Agreed with the above commentaries. Sigh.
I’d believe it if Mulan’s legitimate place in the lineup hasn’t already been criticized a million times
also, although it would be less offensive on that level, saying she shouldn’t be dressed up in clothes she hates because “she married a general” is sexist and like, implies some sort of ownership there? She could wear anything she wanted while marrying anybody
she wouldn’t wear this because it was against everything she preferred in the movie, before she married anyone at all.
| Rob: | Hey maybe the reason I really don't like bowling is because our after prom was there |
|---|---|
| Me: | Oh, really? What happened that was so bad? |
| Rob: | I don't remember anything except smoking outside so... I guess it must have sucked |
| Me: | ... |
I was really confused for a minute like “what is wrong with these cats”

babies on tumblr who think they can shut anything down by claiming the sanctity of wholesome critiques
get outta hereee
this above person did not at all understand the point of everything or anything, but a reminder that you should watch this video and the one before it anyway
Holy crap! I wanted to personally disagree with a video but still have a calm discussion without resorting to name-calling or insulting a stranger’s intelligence when I wouldn’t have the obligation of knowing that myself. Surely that’s entirely unheard of on tumblr and the internet in general. The societal boundaries are breaking as we speak, when someone you don’t know reblogs something and has an opinion. But thank you for referring to me as a person instead of a thing.
whaaat are you even saying.
You can disagree with a video, and nothing I said was super “un calm”
but rly like you’re coming to a video about racism and saying she should apologize to the writer? She (Rachel) already publicly explained the issue with the last name thing, and had a zillion other points against the books that explain how they marginalize women of color.
I mean to reduce her argument to acting like she said “women of color must always be portrayed in positive ways” was insulting to her intelligence and pretty much ignoring the specifics of everything she said. Just saying.
And that is exactly what you did when you make commentary about how equality in countries won’t happen just by positive representation, as if she ever posited that that was the solution? Her entire set of videos were about how the characters were marginalized and treated as plot tools. Not that they aren’t “nice” enough- that they are never as full agents as other characters were allowed to be. That isn’t accidental, and that isn’t good writing of WoC characters. Along with other problems that she mentioned.
Like are you actually that surprised someone called you out on it just because you didn’t use swear words or something?? Please.
i should have gone to buy more food… but I did not. I guess I can do it tomorrow.
