First Thoughts

hey, i’m always up for interesting ideas and i think this is a good one, thank you

i don’t know about other members, maybe later

I’m gonna make this post bc I want to clear up a lot of people’s expectations before they go into frozen 2 given I have seen a huge revival on this topic.

For a while now there has been a huge wave of support from fans of the film to encourage the film makers to let Elsa have a girlfriend. I include myself in that group because her character arc from the first film is very easy to interpret as such and believe me we all noticed it. And this isnt some fans made idea either it’s something that’s even been toyed with by the directors amongst other people saying they are “all for it” or it’s something they are keeping in mind. And I want to let you all know that NOTHING would make me happier if it came to be. But knowing how this company operates, markets, and distributes it’s movies. I can almost without any hesitation confirm that in no way will they show Elsa as anything that could be seen as explicitly queer in Frozen 2.

“But why!?” You may ask, and it’s simple. The world is an awful ugly place and this alone would be a controversial move here in the states and we have better rights for LGBT+ people than most of the world. Now imagine Disney doing this and still trying to sell their highest grossing animated property since Toy story to other markets outside of North America. Especially in markets where Disney has a stake in the success of this film given their have resorts there (China especially) that are working on frozen properties and expansions.

Why run the risk of shooting those projects in the foot of this decision is met with any backlash? In short they would run the risk of losing out on money, and as we know that’s something they won’t let occur. It’s sad, it’s ugly, but it is what it is. I really want people to understand this before they hype themselves up to see the sequel. The best we are probably gonna get is Elsa not having a love interest and for now that is still awesome and a positive foot forward.

This was impossible for me to write, and I imagine, it might be impossible for you to read. I promise, I won’t be mad if you can’t.
