You know, The Little Mermaid was actually very okay. Promotes traditional marriage as being a good thing (which is far better said than most Disney Princess films right now where they generally paint marriage in the worst possible light, and that’s assuming they even bother to show marriage at all), promotes assimilation into another culture, is actually pretty much anti-feminism (after all Ursula gives a lot of statements that sound like they came from a Women’s Studies course regarding how men are like and it is made clear she is lying) without making it’s lead character, Ariel, utterly weak either (in other words, Ariel’s a Suffragette), and it actually treats humanity in a very decent light, unlike certain other films involving animals or non-humans (Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes comes to mind), being anti-environmentalist if you will. In a way, The Little Mermaid’s actually a very good conservative film (certainly it’s far closer to conservatism than Beauty and the Beast was under Linda Woolverton). You could always make an exception for that movie.
I was wondering why that photograph of Michel Foucault with a big wide grin (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/52/Foucault5.jpg) was familiar: Dory has that same grin as well. And that... ugh... if that’s what LGBT communities do, then... it makes me not wish to smile in order to ensure I don’t support them.
