Re: Beauty and the Beast Live Action Trailer

Not to quibble, but you seem to be equating "feminine" with "sexual" and "masculine" with "non-sexual." Certainly those go together often--I'd agree that Mulan is visually de-sexualized for much of the movie! But there's really nothing sexual about a girl wearing a beautiful fancy dress and having a nice dance, and it's a little troubling to see that jump being made here.

Okay, so in general your point is correct. I'm not trying to say that automatically a feminine aesthetic is a sexual one. But insofar as Disney goes... it rather is. The problem lies with the stylistic image: huge eyes, exaggerated waist/hip ratio, ruby lips, etc. etc. In most cases (I can think of a scant few characters where this doesn't apply) Disney females are purposefully drawn to be as appealing as possible, just shy of Jessica Rabbit levels of exaggeration.

There are tons of essays and blog posts and whatnot calling Disney out for the way it portrays a feminine aesthetic and how the Disney Princess contributes to body image disorders and supposedly premature sexualisation in young girls. This is also a thing that has been around since the 90's so it's not exactly a new concept.
