If I introduce a movie to you, and we watch it together, I’ll be spending at least 99.9% of the time watching you to make sure you are responding correctly to the film.

When I was four, a kid in my neighbourhood took me into his room and pulled down my pants (twice) when I went over to play. I went home, told my mom, and she walked right over to that neighbour’s house, where she and that kid’s mom raised all kinds…

how dare that victim not have bulletproof flesh
how dare their body bleed out from the wound
how dare they die on the way to the hospital
those poor gunmen. their lives ahead of them in ruins because someone was inconsiderate enough to allow themselves to be shot.
you see, it doesn’t fucking work this way.

“And the second reason was — during the years that I spent running Walt Disney Studios — I learned about how hard it was to find a fairy tale with a good strong male protagonist. You’ve got your Sleeping Beauties, your Cinderellas and your Alices. But a fairy tale with a male protagonist is very hard to come by. But with the origin story of the Wizard of Oz, here was a fairy tale story with a natural male protagonist. Which is why I knew that this was an idea for a movie that was genuinely worth pursuing.”
TEN MILLION YEARS DUNGEON NO TRIAL
I AM SO ANGRY I COULD SPIT FIRE OUT OF EVERY ORIFICE WHY DOES SHE HAVE BOOBS
ALSO, LION KING, HERCULES, ALADDIN, TREASURE PLANET, EL DORADO, EMPERORS NEW GROOVE, JUNGLE BOOK, PETER PAN, 101 DALMATIANS, THE FOX AND THE HOUND, BAMBI, RESCUERS DOWN UNDER, ROBIN HOOD, AN AMERICAN TALE, OLIVER AND COMPANY, ARISTOCATS, THREE AMIGOS OMG THERE ARE SO MANY WITH MALE PROTAGONISTS HOLY SHIT
ALSO, those with female protagonists WIND UP HAVING TO BE SAVED BY MALES. OKAY.
RECONDITIONIIIIIIIIIIIIING EVERYONE NEEDS RECONDITIONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGNGGGGGNGJFNJLKJKJKS
BAUM NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE SO HE CAN STAB EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS MOVIE. He was a feminist and surrounded by women’s sufferage movement supporters (he was active in it himself!) and wrote the story with A STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST.
Agreed, this is ridiculous, but I do have to point out that not all female protagonists need to be saved by males. IE: Merida.
Also, she has boobs because she’s a lady.Merida is only one of a small few, though. And I think what they meant with the boob comment was why is she being sexualized?
Exactly, and exactly. “She has boobs because she’s a lady” is not what we’re talking about here. Using that logic, Psylocke’s ass-bearing costume is cool then too, because she has an ass, because she’s a lady, right? It’s all about context. Unnecessary sexualization is gross, and continues to happen disproportionately to female characters. As if the Wicked Witch of the West needed visible cleavage to be interesting!
While some more recent Disney movies have featured strong heroines, the thing that makes us all roll our eyes is that two of the three movies that the producer mentioned in his original comment do NOT, and he held them out as an example. The real hero of Sleeping Beauty is Prince Philip; the real heroes of Cinderella are anyone but Cinderella (it does have the fairy godmother, but she’s more of a fairy deus ex machina than anything).
It’s ignorant to suggest that a tradition of passive female characters in cinematic roles is somehow over just because Merida knows how to shoot a bow and arrow. Case in point: this new movie, which features the witches falling all over themselves at the return of the prophecy-fulfilling Oz.
Baum’s books featured one strong female character after another—this was a man who married a feminist (the Cornell-educated Maud Gage Baum), who was the daughter of a the famous activist Matilda Joslyn Gage. He hung out with Susan B. Anthony, for chrissakes. It isn’t too much to ask that maybe, just maybe, adaptations of his work feature some of the things that make it so engaging in the first place.
And to the commenter who used Wicked as a justification for sexualized boob-witch: no. You are miles wide of the point on this one.

heavy trigger warnings for rape.
all right, I’ve calmed down enough to post this, and hell fuckin’ no I ain’t blurrin’ out names.
hi my name is rachael, and this is why feminism is still needed. I have nothing else to say.
yooooo if you wanna know what the fuck i was so mad about, read the following and spread it please!!
this is physically painful to read oh my fucking god
I’m going to puke.
Rachael, I am so, so, so sorry that this happened to you.
The amount of times that I’ve had almost this exact argument when talking to people about why rape jokes are not acceptable is ridiculous, and it’s really upsetting and eerie to see that it happens to others.
I am filled with anger, so so much anger that these people found it funny.
I feel like I’m going to throw up. Those people are beyond disgusting.
I actually feel like I’m going to be sick reading this. I hate people so much!!!!! this is why I don’t have facebook anymore. So I don’t have to put up with this kind of shit.
what the actual fuck? ‘go get raped’. SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.
I AM ACTUALLY VOMITING ALL OVER MY HOUSE THIS IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. I WANT TO STRAP THESE PEOPLE TO CHAIRS, COVER THEIR MOUTHS WITH DUCTAPE SO THEY CANT KEEP SPEWING THIS IDIOTIC SHIT AND EDUCATE THEM ON EVERYTHING THEY SEEM TO NOT UNDERSTAND AND IF THEY STILL ACT LIKE THIS I WILL FREAKING FIREBOMB THEM JESUS CHIRIST.
feels my blood pressure rising
The fact that there are still people, not to mention young people in the world who still act like this disgusts me. We should be the ones going off of our preceding generation’s mindset and trying to HELP rape victims, not desensitize people about rape. Accusing someone of rape is not a cry for attention, it is a cry for help. Telling someone else that rape isn’t “the worst thing to happen to a person” is fucking ridiculous. There are people in this world who have had their lives completely blown to bits because they were raped. I hope these people are proud of themselves and their complete and utter ignorance. If they could only see this post, then they would know how everyone feels and how absolutely DISGUSTED we are with their behavior.
I will never find a rape joke funny. a lot of dark humor is funny, rape humor is bland and cruel.
I can’t even… I don’t even have the words. I literally want to cry. Knowing there are young people who would say these things breaks my heart. I can’t believe people can be so willingly blind to sexism and so absurdly insensitive to something so horrifying and traumatic. It literally makes me want to devote my life to feminism and changing these attitudes. We cannot let people bring these attitudes into the future.
