Icon does not reflect mood
Hat tip to wabbitseason on shakydismount, Disney retools Rapunzel to appeal to boys. By giving it a male protagonist. Yes, even the princesses can't be for girls anymore.
Most infuriating quote from a Disney executive: "Some people might assume it's a fairy tale for girls when it's not. We make movies to be appreciated and loved by everybody."
I...OH MY FUCKING GOD. I'm not sure I can even list everything wrong with that statement. I mean, let's start with, "Oh, no, not a movie for girls, the horror," and move to, "NO YOU FUCKING DON'T. YOU MAKE MOVIES FOR BOYS AND EXPECT GIRLS TO TAKE IT."
At least NPR gets it, but I am actually shaking with rage, here. How much fucking clearer could these people make it that my child doesn't matter because she's a girl?
Note: I am really, really not in the mood to be told to calm down, here. Seriously.
