Saying she was designed to represent and act like an abusive parent is incorrect, unless you have an interview where one of the creators said that?

Did you even listen to "Mother Knows Best"?

It's practically "How to emotionally abuse your child in song form."

How is that not engineered to be abusive? I cannot see how the writers could write that song along with all her other actions, and then claim she's just meant to be overprotective.

reno: "Yeah, when we were creating her, it was interesting that you bring that up. We've heard this actually from women quite a bit that there's some sympathy once in awhile for Gothel that seems to come out. And when we're creating Mother Gothel, we invited a lot of the women from the studio to come up to a meeting room one day after work. We said, 'Okay, so just tell us your relationship with your mother. What is that and how did that work out when you were growing up?' People had some really crazy stories and at times we were like, 'Wow, that's a really intense story.' But then they always say, 'Oh! But I love my mother! I love her, I love her!'"

"Everything that we got out of that meeting we actually put into the character. In the movie, there's that one point where Gothel says in her song, 'Getting kind of chubby,' and that's something that came out of that meeting. So we wanted it to feel really real and relatable, and people really are starting to relate to the villain a bit, at least with that relationship."

trying to make her relatable doesn't mean she isn't abusive or designed to be abusive, she very clearly is. if anything, asking for input from their crew just assured that she was a "realistic" villain, instead of being ott or outlandish.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Her being relatable and still abusive was the point.

Then show me where one of the people who made the movie said Gothel was specifically designed to represent abusive mothers.
