K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

microaggressions: Which princesses are up and center? WHAT THE HELL.

Which princesses are up and center?

WHAT THE HELL.

I like the posts that all these diverse people are making with the message “this is what a Disney Princess/Queen could look like”. 

I went looking for the Muses from Hercules. While the movie is a terrible religion-bend, I do love the female characters. Meg is a unique love interest, in Disney sense, as she has plenty experience with relationships, works for the villain and is very snarky. But in design, my love went to the beautiful Muses. They were greatly animated and I liked their role in the story/story telling. 
However, as POC they won’t get a leading role. Why is that?
In this photoset, I picked the girl with the youngest vibe and just look at her. How could she not be a Disney Heroine/Princess?

I just don’t understand. You see how much love the animators put into them and still they say to themselves “let’s make a white lead though”. Does non of the people over there realise this? Or are they actively racist?
I just can’t understand how much of a despicable mind you must have to think such a way…

karnythia: sourcedumal: renamok: waltdisneyconfessions: “ I will never accept Tiana and Rapunzel as Disney Princesses. I hate that everyone loves those movies. Rapunzel was especially annoying.” Rapunzel is annoying… but you’re a nincompoop. Feel free to hate me, OP, because The Princess and The Frog is my shit, even if there are problems out the wing-wang with it. Tangled I dislike, but for much more in-depth reasoning than that it’s “new” and “not what I grew up with”. Please, do some self-reflecting because if this is your thought process, there’s probably more pressing and serious things going on with you. Fuck the OP with a goddamn flaming chainsaw dildo. I waited 22 years for my fuckin black princess, on the heels of an old white lady telling me I’d never be a princess at the age of 5 because nigger children don’t get to be royalty. Do you ever have this urge to go back & slap her with a history book? I have a teacher I still want to smash with facts.

BUT I KNOW EVERY STORYLINE, AND SCRIPT, AND CHARACTER HAS A LIFE, HAS A SPIRIT, HAS A NAME. YOU THINK THE ONLY MOVIES THAT ARE MOVIES, ARE MOVIES WRITTEN BY YOU BUT IF YOU WALK THE FOOTSTEPS OF MY CHILDHOOD, YOU’LL LEARN THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW, YOUR NEVER KNEW. the ol’ save-a-Native story. the definition of same script, different cast. and sometimes not all that different. lol but also, did john smith do any saving in pocahontas? i think he just liked futzed around and almost got himself executed, no? and then she had to save his ass, and he went back to england in the end? i haven’t seen that movie in a really long time. my point isn’t to mount a defense of pocahontas here, because that movie is still mad racist, but to basically say that i think maybe avatar is even more racist??? JAMES CAMERON: MORE RACIST THAN DISNEY. that’s really something,  you know? Turtle Island Planet.

The Disney Princes & Their Faults

awww, the the Aladdin one isn’t fair! He only lied to keep up the facade, not because he always lies.
