Clearly I do not have enough facepalm
There's a Disney confession on Tumblr that says:
As a proud feminist, many of my friends tease me because I love The Little Mermaid as its main heroine changes herself mainly due to her want of the prince. However, I don't let that get me down as I know there is a great difference in society today and when the movie was made.
...
...When does this person think that movie was made? No, really, I don't want to be that asshole who randomly attacks people while browsing tags, but really?! Feminism happened after 1989? Isn't there at least one major movie per year (even in these newfangled modern times!) whose message is "you are not hawt enough to catch the guy being your own self"?
And why do I feel like this person and the one who said fic writers should stop writing drinking swearing Darcy because she's a college student and higher education makes people too educated and sophisticated to need to resort to obscenities go to the same school?
Damn kids, get off my internet!
