Just like how Shek didn't know that Fiona would turn into a SBBW ogre. He was prepared to wear an angry skinny white girl like a condom

I didn't need that mental image. But since you have installed it in my head, I am honor-bound to upvote.

Cue the Hulk/Black Widow GIF

I'm delighted to report that I have no idea what gif you're referring to, and I am happy to keep it that way

Is there a link directly to the gif? for those if us who don't have reddit logins?

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Pro tip: if you install the browser extension LibRedirect, if you click a link to Reddit/Xhitter/Instagram/TikTok/etc, it will automatically redirect it to a privacy respecting frontend! Fully customizable which sites get redirected and which services/hosts they redirect to. Also has a "one-time disable" button for when you just can't resist the urge to sign in and leave a comment.

If you use Firefox on mobile (or a fork thereof), you can get this extension there too! If you don't use Firefox on mobile, consider doing that!

Shrek 2 takes it further with Fiona actively choosing to let the magic wear off so her boy toy would turn back into an ogre rather than settle for a twunk rest of her life.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 111 points 6 days ago

I'm no Disney expert but Belle is the only worthy Princess of the bunch

She wanted to pursue knowledge, not a boy or just fun; she dropped everything to save her dad instead of causing his death or dethronement; she was fully aware how disgusting Gaston was regardless of appearance; she was seduced by books not riches; and yes, she was ready to ride the beast

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 46 points 6 days ago

And then she founded the company "Bad Dragon"

Well it can't have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.

To me I felt like Belle had Stockholm syndrome

[-] Twipped@l.twipped.social 27 points 6 days ago

Stockholm Syndrome isn’t an actual thing, fyi. It has never been recognized as a condition and never been diagnosed. The entire thing was an attempt to dismiss valid reactions to police incompetence.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

[-] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 days ago

Controversy and debate about whether the condition exists for literal hostages in a violent/deadly situation is a step removed from talking about whether people become irrationally attached to manipulative romantic/sexual partners, and stay despite all rationality pointing towards leaving.

I don't know if Stockholm Syndrome exists for hostages held at gunpoint. But I do know that plenty of people have behaved irrationally about attachment to abusive people in their lives. And we don't have to call that particular condition Stockholm Syndrome, but your argument doesn't really disprove the topic of this discussion.

Belle and the beast never really existed either so maybe she did have it!

If he's verbally abusive, violent, and keeps you locked up as a prisoner, he isn't necessarily evil.

You can change him! Just be patient, accept him, and love him!

That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.

[-] vrojak@feddit.org 54 points 6 days ago

That's the interpretation from the modern perspective on relationships. The tale is from a time where women (well, more like girls to be exact) were married off without any say of their own, and the tale was supposed to tell them "hey, we know the guy we're forcing you to marry seems like a hairy monster, buuuuut if you can look past that he might be nice actually!"

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago

But in the Disney movie which the picture is referencing, it’s not a forced marriage, which is the version I think most people think of.

To me, the original tales all felt like the Murphy’s Law of storytelling. While they are the originals and are much more mature material, I honestly feel the vast majority of Disney adaptations (I’m talking classic 2d series run) are better at teaching the lessons to a modern audience than the original stories. Times change and art often reflects this.

Sadly, the pendulum has swung too far the other way and we’re remaking material in a span of time that the lessons haven’t changed all that much. That’s why you can go back to pretty much all eras of film and get valuable lessons from it because the lessons all still apply. It’s just that much of a new medium.

And like a million Rule 34's

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 61 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I wouldn't blame Belle if she was disappointed and called it off.

Tales can be cruel:

And people underestimate big dommy furries:

This comic is neither left-right or right-left orientation and that should be punishable by death.

I can't be the only one who was disappointed when the beast turned into generic inbred royal twink?

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago

Not a real man like Gaston

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 23 points 6 days ago

Gaston had years of practice sucking down liquid protein too

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago

Noooo oooooone sucks like Gaston, no one fucks like Gaston, no one's dick's as incredibly thick as Gaston

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

For there's no man in town half as manly,

Perfect, a bear so-far-gone,

[-] Part4@infosec.pub 65 points 6 days ago

Presumably she wasn't just prepared to ride the beast, she actively wanted to be ruined by it.

She was probably disappointed when the transition happened. She thought she was going to be raw-dogged by the monster.

TBF, the stories that Disney's been strip-mining for generations're crazy dark, originally.

  1. Sleeping Beauty woke to find she'd had two children, and now they were teens nearly as old as she was when she fell asleep. 🤮
  2. The Little Mermaid was double-crossed by a human princess last minute, and was turned into seafoam (died). 🥹
  3. ad nauseum...

Can't find another source for this tweet from either Twitter or Reddit, but here's a screenshot of this tweet by Twitter user @hiimbobbi:

Personally, Belle was not fooling me or anyone. When the Beast changed into a human, I saw that look on her face. That was DISAPPOINTMENT.

??? Isn't that the whole point of the story ? How is that a fun fact?

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 17 points 6 days ago

Hey, no one said it was anything more than romantic. You don't have to fuck anything that moves.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Maybe it's a similar situation like here (oglaf nsfw comic):

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 5 points 4 days ago

She didnt sign up for some random human, if she wanted that she could have had Gaston.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

She was probably pretty disappointed, too. Ew!
