Wearing crocs is like getting blown by a dude. Feels great until you look down and realize you're gay.

Basically the stuff I read from her and her major thing seemed to be about Disney Princesses, a fruit that’s hanging so low it’s not even on the tree. One major complaint she had was that all of the European ones were white because ‘Europe is not the Aryan paradise full of blond-haired blue-eyed people Americans think it is’ like what does that have to do with anything? And just for the record, in her own words, she was half-Romani yet that doesn’t have to do with anything. So she’s half-Romani, so what? Yes I know there’s still huge prejudice against Romani people in Europe, in Finland though? Also when Disney was adapting more Western fairy-tales they were made at a time when that sort of thing would be heavily frowned upon if not outright boycotted. Perhaps there were people even back then who wanted someone like Sleeping Beauty to be of a different ethnicity however because it was 1959 they couldn’t do that. I only partially agreed with her on Frozen because I think it’d be interesting if at least Anna was Inuit or something similar because she looked more ethnic to me than Elsa did but at the end of the day I don’t mind because they’re Norwegian. Even though according to her the average Nordic person has dark skin so you shouldn’t praise Disney for making Anna and Elsa white
She also complained about Tiana being forced to live in the real world with no magic and she doesn’t even get a castle at the end and how that’s racist because it sends the message to little black girls that ‘oh you can be a princess but you can’t be a fairy-tale princess you have to be a real one’ like????? Are movies like Beauty and the Beast just non-existent to her? I’m sure they explicitly say it takes place in France, a real-world location. Or heck how about Mulan? Also magic is a huge part of Princess and the Frog; yes voodoo is a real thing however I was thinking more of the general premise of them being frogs. And castles existed in Europe in the twenties but the story is American and Nadeen is prince of an island nation anyway so Tiana would get a mansion probably. Oh yeah and Pocahontas didn’t get a castle either, I couldn’t help but to notice she excluded her
She also claimed that only having ‘one’ Disney Princess for each ethnicity makes it so little girls of that ethnicity will have to buy a doll of her even if they don’t like her just to have one that looks like them. Now I will admit there’s a small bit of truth to this, however there’s just not a ton of Disney Princesses to begin with. And this isn’t the eighties where that argument held a bit more merit because nowadays there are tons of doll companies designed specifically to make dolls that look exactly like any little girl you want. In fact I think Disney even makes some themselves
So basically I read all this and was put in an annoyed mood for the whole rest of that week. Everything she said was stupid nonsense and despite coming close to having an actual real point at times she ruined it by saying even more nonsense. Again I’m not European so maybe it really is filled with ethnic people not a white person in sight as I do not live there however I’m willing to bet she’s wrong about that based on everything else she said
I didn’t really feel like posting this because I feel it’s pretty irrelevant to my journal however I just needed to get it off my chest so





Plus tons of people think EA is the most evil force on the planet and wants to like, kill or enslave them >.> when they could just...not play the stuff.



Looking back on it I think that might be the reason I never broke another bone, I couldn't deal with that ever again
