Re: most "problematic" thing you like?

[sarillia]

The most baffling one I've come across is that it's perpetuating the idea that women should be quiet and not speak their minds. Which makes no sense to me because the loss of her voice was the plan of the villain. Generally the villain's plan is not supposed to represent an ideal that the audience is supposed to agree with.

The most common one is the argument that she gave up everything for a man. Again, I disagree because she was clearly obsessed with human stuff in general. Personally I think there was an element of Eric being exotic to her in her crush on him where it was an extension of her obsession for all things human. It kind of bothers me that people take a girl who is full of intellectual curiosity and continues trying to learn everything she can even after she's staying with Eric and ostensibly has what the people who say she just wanted a man claim she wanted, and they reduce her to nothing more than a foolish girl with a crush. But those who disagree with me could say I'm going too far in the other direction defending her, and that's probably fair.

I must sound like such an obnoxious Disney stan. :D

See I agree with the notion that Ariel doesn't really know Eric to know if she's in love with him but at the same time she clearly wants out of where she lives and I think Eric is the way out that she latches onto(not to say that she doesn't genuinely have feelings for him, but like with all Disney movies they are very quick to occur, and that's not a Little Mermaid Specific thing, I mean in Sleeping Beauty they meet for 5 mins and it's true love. It's only recently that Disney have started poking fun at that).

I'd be somewhere in the middle I think overall, because I can certainly see arguments from both sides.

Oh I definitely agree with that. What is it, three days that she has to make him fall in love with her? Hah. I've been with my girlfriend two years and it feels like no time at all.

Re: most "problematic" thing you like?

[nightscale]

Yeah 3 days, which is nothing out of the ordinary for Disney. :P

It's funny 'cause as a kid falling in love after 3 days never seemed ludicrous because 3 days was such a long time to me back then, but now I'm waaaay more skeptical lol. But I also get that it's supposed to be cute more than true to life so the romances don't really bother me, at most I'm just like 'eh'.
