I am a lover of Disney but this has been playing on my mind since the recent tiktok video posted here that basically explained how women personify men and men objectify women...

The lyrics of Something There from Beauty and the Beast really troubles me.

“There's something sweet and almost kind, But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined, And now he's dear and so unsure, I wonder why I didn't see it there before” ^ if this isn’t personification of an abuser I don’t know what is!! 🚨🚨🚨 YOUNG GIRLS SHOULDNT BE TAUGHT THIS IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH AN ABUSER INSTEAD OF FINDING YOUR SELF WORTH AND GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF THERE

Belle is: - thrown onto the hard ground when the Beast finds her trying to save her father - taken hostage, isolated away from her loved ones - yelled at - he breaks a table in front of her (we all know this is an intimidation tactic and promise, as if to say “look how strong I am, this could be you next!”) - lied to - kept in one room where she has no support system etc etc

YET she falls in “love” with him because boo hoo 😢 he is having such a hard time because of the curse he BROUGHT ONTO HIMSELF!!! It isn’t womens duty to baby a fully grown man or help him reach his potential. That is his own responsibility. Let his mother handle his nappies and tantrums.

This is the shit we are raising our daughters on. We need to teach our daughters to not give chances to bad men not model it step by step in a kids movie. Stockholm syndrome coming through strong in this pile of shit.

Beauty and the Beast romanticises ABUSE.
