Don't read their rants then? I love the Disney princesses and I don't think it's all together black and white where their role in feminism stands (after enduring years of Pixar only making films for boys... I was happy to see a few more princess movies come around) but I don't have a problem with other people posting their own opinions about it.

Plus not new to you does not mean the argument isn't new to someone else, we all grew up with the Princesses but that doesn't mean we have all taken a step back to analyze it. Especially if someone is young and fairly new to feminist posts.

So yeah, just don't read their rants if it's that annoying.

I understand the O.P.'s frustration, although I agree scrolling past and ignoring is a good tactic. I've found, those that argue the princesses aren't feminist tend to see the characters in a very black and white, out of context goggle... and it's frustrating because quite a few of the princesses are victims of abuse when you get down to it, and most of them find their own way out of it. Even Snow White is a good role model because she was able to leave her old world when her life was in danger and she created a new one for herself... even if that was 'domestic and bad' according to extreme feminists it's still something not every one is able to do. As a survivor of child abuse, the princesses were a gateway to help me cope and become strong in my own right.

They're victims of abuse usually at the hands of jealous older women and find a way out of their issues through men (for SOME of the movies). I love Disney too but I understand why some of it is problematic.
