Because it's oh so healthy to tell young girls that if they don't follow rigidly defined gender stereotypes, even down to letting their parents organize a contest for their hand in marriage like you're some trophy, they must be a giant dyke. Thanks a lot media for reinforcing gender stereotypes and putting pressure on young girls to conform.

My 16 year old red-headed daughter went to see the film,
wait, where did you go
no, there are no photos of her in my profile you pervert.
AS I WAS SAYING!
My daughter went to see the film and was very pleased to have (in her words) "A Disney Princess who didn't need a prince and who didn't change her mind in the end"
(or something like that)
So, I for one say - gay? Who gives a flying fark at a rolling doughnut! No one cares if the young kid with the balloons in up ever gets married. No one ever asks about the marital status of any male protagonist if it happens to remain unmentioned, so why should my girls be socialised by cartoons to believe that without a man on their arm they are incomplete?

Where were these people when Mulan was released?

She's a skilled archer, she fights, she detests girly clothes, rejects all her male suitors, and explicitly expresses that she does not want to get married.

Who cares?

theresnothinglft: There is even a scene where she takes a passing liking (arousal if you will) to one of the would be suitors (it was buried in a joke but it still stands) which suggests that she is just pre-sexual on the verge of discovering it.

Not to mention that she's strongly independent and NONE of the suitors gave her a good first(hall scene) or second(archery contest) impression. Even her father was putting them down during that.

For the guys, how would you like it if your father showed up and said 'you're marrying one of these three girls'. All three are on the 'plain side'. To boot, the 'winner' will be by a cooking contest tomorrow, and you like to cook. You're good at it. It's obvious early on in the contest that non of them have a clue.

You could be heterosexual as all fark and STILL be upset about the situation.

Remember, everyone! If you're a strong, intelligent, non-gender-stereotype-following woman, you are a lesbian! Only lesbians reject the notion of being dumb, barefoot, in the kitchen, constantly pregnant, and subservient to men!

This is relevant to my interests.

Boudica was one tough mama-jama. Was she gay? She had daughters but that's not necessarily proof of heterosexuality or bi-sexuality. Who cares what her or any other brave woman's sexuality is. Besides, bravery expresses itself in dark places where the media and the hangers-on don't go.

So she fought the good fight. That's all that's necessary to know.

Jesus farking Christ, no.

Someone can want for themselves a life that is not defined by the rigid roles imposed upon them by family or society without necessarily being GLBT. Fark me running, whoever even asked that question must be either mentally thick or hopelessly sheltered.

Valiente: DirkTheDaring: Yes, I love Redheads. NSFW!

I want to follow that bird straight to its nest. Damn.

Believe me, I had thoughts of hopping the fence, but that would have earned me a royal beatdown.

"She wanted to wait and choose whom she married."

DID YOU NOT WATCH ALADDIN!?!?! JESUS CHRIST!!!

Jasmine didn't want to be forced into marriage. Jasmine didn't want to act like a princess. Jasmine ran AWAY!

But I'll just leave this here:

I may not be particularly happy with the way my life is right now, but at least I didn't spend years earning a journalism degree only to end up writing an article speculating on the sexuality of a cartoon character.

I feel better. So should you.

Given how she drooled over the muscle-bound guard, I'm going to go with no.

And of course it's a dickgirl picture. Why is everyone obsessed with dickgirls lately?

Dickgirl? I didn't study it closely, but I just assumed that it was simple rug munching and its byproducts.

archichris: Just got back from taking my daughter to see Brave......

Seriously never even considered that the Heroine.....whose name is seemingly missing from the movie in any pronounceable form.....Murder? Merda? Merida? have no idea.....But anyway, Never considered that she might be gay for a second.

But she is going to be popular, so there will be a rush by special interests to co-opt her popularity.

Which is what they are trying to do by claiming she might be gay.

Which might be why traditional parents dont want to trust their kids to the care of militant homosexuals.

Who are the ones claiming she's gay, the homos or the homophobes?

No. Gay and hetero were not identities in the general time period in which the movie was set, sexual behavior has only been considered a major component of one's identity for about thirty or forty years.

Problem solved, then. Next nontroversy?

Redheads an no Jessica!?!?!?

hell, i'm for letting the imaginary fictional character do whatever the hell she wants. whatever makes her happy, ya know?

octopied: No, she's supposed to be about 14, which is why she's not interested in marriage.

odd. i was much more interested in getting married when I was 14 as opposed to now. living in sin in so much easier.

No, she's supposed to be about 14, which is why she's not interested in marriage.

Fluorescent Testicle: WhippingBoy: If everything you experience in life is viewed through the "oppression by the hegemonic kyriarchy" lens, then I truly have pity for you. It must really, really suck to judge every movie, every TV show, every book, every comment made by others, every significant life event by how much they they conform to your belief of a world "rigidly defined by gender stereotypes and the oppressive patriarchy". No matter how much of an activist you are, you've already lost.

I honestly can't tell what the hell you're talking about.

Translation: You're so jaded that you can't enjoy a movie for its own sake and instead have to look for things that confirm your narrowly defined world view.

I think Omahawg is really a Nebraska-based bot that scours the webs for barely-SFW pics of hot chics and posts them here.

This. Wouldn't want to teach our daughters that they can rely on themselves, now would we?

Of course not; it's difficult keeping women in Fundie-land without fear, ignorance, and guilt.

Who cares? The one @ WDW is kinda hot.

Boudica's War Tampon: This is relevant to my interests.

Bodica was queen because her husband was king. When the Romans killed him, she formed a huge army to avenge his death.

In the "Historical figure least likely to be homosexual", she's in the running.

It never ceases to amaze me how often people go looking for messages that aren't in any way being conveyed.

hasn't anybody bothered to make a paper mache' volcano yet?

I'm waiting for someone to come up with an illustration of Pocahontas parting Merida's firecrotch like the red sea.

Rule 34, you never let me down before.

No, but the author, subby and whoever greenlit this thinks so.

Knock yourself out.
