Current Events > Snow White under attack in the age of #MeToo.

(+) Yeah! (+)

"Kristen Bell is getting candid with her kids about Disneys princesses in the age of #MeToo.

The 38-year-old actress and mom of Lincoln, 5, and Delta, 3, told Parents magazine that she had a serious conversation with her kids about the infamous kissing scene in Snow White.

Dont you think that its weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you cannot kiss someone if theyre sleeping! she told the magazine.

Shes not the only actress whos questioning Disney movies. Keira Knightley recently told Ellen DeGeneres that her 3-year-old daughter, Edie, is banned from watching Cinderella and The Little Mermaid.

What wackos.

Famous women know more than CE about women's issues

Adding "what whackos" beautifully rebuts any well stated argument

Didn't he fuck her in the original story?

Heard this on the radio. It's time to ban fairytales

probably not if they're complaining about a kiss in a Disney movie

"Remember, kids. If an evil witch puts someone in eternal slumber, you do not have permission to go break the spell."

It was only a matter of time before the child indoctrination company faced off against its spawn.
---

Really people are allowed to do what they want and raise their children the way they want even if I personally find it stupid.

Women are literally less likely to receive CPR from strangers than men are because people are afraid of touching an unfamiliar woman's chest, even to save their lives.

I'm just not gonna help women

My post was more making fun of people who try to find life lessons of any kind in a kid's story about evil witches, curses, etc, but yeah, you do have a point there.

Guys, it's a 19th century German fairy tale

1934. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey%27s_Mellerdrammer Mickey does blackface. Snow White was 1937.

Who cares. It's 2018. Make new cartoons

Only morons would take issue with a mother actually, you know, parenting and talking to her kids about how "you can't do this thing in real life just because it's in a movie."

Banning the movies is a bit extreme though.

Banning them from watching it seems a bit much, but I haven't seen the interview, so I don't know if it was hyperbole.

But concerning the talk to her kids about it, she's not wrong.

We've reached a new low in society with this one.

I feel like some people here wouldn't help the woman just out of spite...

"Yeah, like Im gonna let you sue me for sexual harassment. Serves you right bitch"

So according to TC people are wackos for teaching kids not to assault women

Sure they're allowed.

It's mainly just a sign of times we live in now and how we've devolved as a nation, wasting time thinking about absolutely asinine shit. If this is what "progress" and "moving forward" is like, I want nothing to do with it.
---

I miss when people didn't actively go around looking for things to feel victimized by. It's a fucking kids movie
---

Thats funny because Keira Knightly was pretty much a textbook damsel in distress in Pirates of The Caribbean.

Hope she doesnt let her daughter watch those movies either.

She's not though. She's taking a moronic social stance against it. It's one thing to say "in real life fantastical situations like that don't happen, so that's not an OK thing for someone to do." Nobody would be slamming her for saying that. She's instead spouting bullshit to earn her virtue signalling points for the day.

I think it's fine to be like, "This is a fantasy story. If this ever happens in real life make sure you tell an adult, because it's not OK"

Snow White was literally under a spell. Her and Snow White situations was a gambit because the villains thought no one would break the spell let alone be True Love
---

Who gaf? They can instill whatever beliefs they want in their kids. They own them! Lol. Seriously though, it's their right to teach them to have the same morals and beliefs they have. If you don't like it too bad.
---

Snow White fucking sucks anyway. Who cares? It's a really shitty story and it doesn't have any good messages to send kids. They just wanna see the dwarves.

Only good thing to come from Snow White is Snow in Fables/Wolf Among Us. Magic Mirror looks cool though.
---

you know we live a very fat and comfortable lifestyle when this is the type of lunacy that is considered news
---

Also its a 75 year old pre-WWII movie about magic mirrors, dwarves, and evil witches.

Its art and its complete fiction. To not want your kids to watch it is whatever, thats your decision. But get off your fucking high horse about it.

Theres nothing wrong with anybody watching or enjoying these movies.

It became a viral topic because people give too much of a shit
She just said it today and everyone said "WELL WELL WELL KRISTEN LET ME TELL YOU THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAID"

You realize she just said this once in an interview? And the entire country reacted the same way as a CE topic? Who says she even cares?

Congratulations! You've let your fanatical hatred of women/SJWs obstruct your ability to parse basic sentences.

You are spewing pure garbage here.

Can someone point out where she said her kids cant watch it

She's a dummy. Begone thot

So i can understand Snow White and The Little Mermaid, but what's wrong with Cinderella?

Cinderella is treated like crap, given a pep talk to take a chance, consentually falls in love with the prince, and runs away because she's insecure about being like a peasant or whatever. Then realizes its not a big deal when the Prince still loves her even when he learns she isn't high-class **** like she thought she was.

Because the prince has a foot fetish and that's nasty.

I'm responding to the idea that "Only morons would take issue with a mother actually, you know, parenting and talking to her kids." It seems like you're criticizing people criticizing her. She's certainly free to hold whatever opinion she likes, but it's pure bullshit on both how she's telling her kids and the message she's putting forth in the article.

She's not saying she believes that at all. Comprehension seems to be a virtue these days.

What a horrible mother, child protective services should be notified

She's right. We banned our kids from watching Disney. Sports are blocked too because of the negative connotation associated with losing and winning over others. We've also banned public television channels and cable channels because they really dont filter their content
---

Uhhh ... people have been complaining about how rapey that story is for literally decades. In fact, I'm pretty sure the original version included a rape. Just because someone included it in their #MeToo rant doesn't invalidate the fucking point.
