I just want you to know:

The number of “get me out of here” tactics women have developed and shared to help each other escape from overly-insistent-to-borderline-predatory dudes in public places should probably be enough evidence of the existence of rape culture all on its own.

Bolded commentary.

#Disney #AfterDark. Episode 1: #Frozen.

After the unveiling of images of Disney’s latest lead, Elsa the Snow Queen in the upcoming Frozen, fans decided to make her over. Elsa, per Disney’s usual whitewashing (other lead character Anna is also very white), falls in line with their usual fair skinnned, light hair, blue eyes and a glamorous but impractical gown.

I know this article is old but since the release of the movie I still see this sort of talk everywhere in the fandom.

- “Anna is also very white” They’re sisters. Of course they are both white. They didn’t have mixed-race couples in that time, and even if there were a few, society certainly wouldn’t allow a mixed-race couple as royalty. - "Typical fair skinned" Tiana, Jasmine, Esmerelda and Pocahontas are all Disney princesses with dark skin. - "Light hair" Snow White, Mulan, Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Megara and Esmerelda all do not have light hair. Light hair is not “typical” in the princesses as stated by this article (which expresses views that, like I said, I see a lot of). - “Blue eyes” All of the princesses I’ve already mentioned don’t have blue eyes, with the addition of Rapunzel.

Why are people complaining about a white princess? There is already a lot of racial diversity in the other princesses, plus, it’s set in Scandinavia. No one complained about the lack of white people in Aladdin, because it was set in the Middle East. No one complained about the lack of white people in Mulan, because it’s set in China. So people should not be complaining about the lack of dark-skinned people in Frozen, because it’s set in Norway. Fair skin, light hair and blue eyes are the most common genetic traits of Scandinavian people.
