But sure let’s pretend the WoC princesses are least popular in spite of everything that indicates most of them being popular fan favorites, much more so than Aurora or Snow White?? And even if it were true, popularity of merchendise is manufactured in itself. Tired of people acting like certain princesses are associated as princesses more just by chance. It’s because they’re marketed that way! Think of how- even after Tiana came out- WoC princesses are tokenized in any princess merchendise.

  • I don’t want to see what they do to emphasize being “native” because it will probably be offensive.

  • I don’t want to see how they either (mis)handle or eliminate religion from her story, because as is, FTL’s polytheism exists solely to heighten the (implicitly Judeo-Christian) audience’s sense of ‘barbarity’. I’m not here for being called a heathen, a barbarian, rudimentary, unevolved, or primitive. Or any of the other words that seem inevitably to crop up when talking about polytheism, regardless of if it’s my heritage or not.*

  • I really don’t want to watch her die.

  • I don’t want to watch the fandom-at-large immediately hate on her for whatever reason they come up with.

  • I don’t want her story—which matters—to be dealt with in a half-assed forty-three minutes which will really only be a fraction of that, because everybody knows Snowing will have to fucking find each other.

  • I’m not about to tolerate another WOC’s story being hijacked to tell a white chick’s story of self-actualization. I was so unprepared for what they did to Mulan; I cannot tolerate it again.

With Feburary apparently being Femfslash Month (or Week, I forget which), Disneyforprincesses' submission forum is open to femslash disney artwork. Moreover Feminist Disney has recently advertised a recently created LGBT/Queer tumblrblog for the Disney fandom, dubbed  "queer crowns and kisses" (or armouredtiaras). If you're interested, give both a looksee into.
