Oh, so he said it in a funny voice. I'm still not going to watch it.

Why does he refer to himself in the third person? That's so creepy.

They posted the transcript of the entire special. There is literally nothing they left out.

I'm not even arguing. I'm stating that the fact that I don't have enough hours in the day to watch everything that comes out. When the Ghostbusters reboot came out I said "Wow, that looks like shit!" and moved on. Some people tried to tell me I can't trust a trailer, so I read the reviews and they confirmed what I suspected. Then people tried to tell me that I can't trust reviews either, so I said "Fuck you!" and moved on, because by that logic I'd have to see everything that catches the eye of the media and I have neither the time, money, nor energy to do that. I'm not going to put myself through something I don't think I'll enjoy just because someone on the internet told me to.

The fact that nobody in this thread is able to provide additional context tells me there isn't any. This should be easy. Just do it.

I'm not going to watch every stand up special ever made just to keep up with the news. Either tell me what context allegedly changes things or don't and shut up.

I included ones that were considered a part of the lineup in the past, but were later discontinued. The princess lineup is flexible and liable to change at any given time. Most of the characters I've listed were promoted as princesses for at least a little while following the release of their respective movies. Alice was promoted as an initial member of the line when it was first conceived and her status as one is a plot point in Kingdom Hearts, and Tinker Bell was a part of the line prior to the existence of the Disney Fairies line. The official website only lists the current lineup, not it's entire history.

Apparently the reason for that is simply because Esmeralda merch didn't sell. Go figure.

The Disney princess lineup has always had some odd inclusions and exclusions. Mulan is considered a Disney princess^TM despite not actually having the title, as is Alice (some random girl), Pocahontas (chieftain's daughter, which I guess you can argue is a similar concept), Moana (see above), Mirabel (another random girl without a position of authority), Tinker Bell, Jane Porter (although she is a noble, which is at least similar) and Megara. (From Hercules, in case you also forget that movie existed)

Likewise, the lineup does not include Nala, despite actually possessing the title explicitly. (Is Disney racist against lions or something?) Nor does it include Eilonwy, though that's understandable considering The Black Cauldron flopped so hard it nearly tanked their animation department. It doesn't include any acquired properties either, so as funny as it is to lump Leia into the group, officially she doesn't count.

That is literally a swastika.

Nice pun in the title. I almost missed it.

They are absolutely still interested in challenging it. They've been talking about repealing it since the day that it was enacted. Why do you think they keep dialing up the anti LGBT rhetoric? Do you think that they just threw up their hands and said "oh well!" when that thing they railed against for decades happened? That which they raged against with all the hatred in their hearts. That they insisted was a sin against god and would lead to the collapse of Western civilization?

They didn't stop being angry at us. They're still pissed.

[–] Jomega 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I was fine. Mostly. Probably. I just thought it would be a funny concept to have a character like that who's dark and brooding exclusively when he's on the job, and is friendly to just about everyone the rest of the time.
