... except you could easily have a movie where two princesses meet and fall in love and have it still be fluff? A lot of the Prince/Princess stories don't bother dealing with the aftermath of royalty marrying a commoner or whatever politics would have been involved in a real world context. Switching up who takes part in the romance doesn't mean you have to suddenly make things dark and brutal and ~realistic~. They're fairy tales - if they can have dragons and talking candlesticks and mermaids, they can have two people of the same sex in a relationship.

So, yeah, there's no reason you can't have a story that involves two female characters instead of a prince and a princess and not still make it a fluffy, happy Disney story. In fact, that would be kind of awesome, since so much of the discourse in the media about same sex relationships centers around how ~wrong~ they are and how society is always going to react badly to those types of relationships. Those kind of stories that discuss a lot of the bad shit that people have to go through for being queer are important, but I know I sure as hell would have loved to see a story when I was growing up with two girls falling in love where it wasn't shown as being somehow wrong or forbidden or angsty. It would have been really freaking nice to see it presented as normal and accepted that if you're a little girl who wants to date another princess instead of a prince, that that's okay.
