i get so annoyed about the fact that snow white, sleeping beauty, and cinderella are still Things

i get it, it’s hard to fit nine girls on a lunchbox. so you know what you do? you take out those three, then you have PLENTY OF ROOM for mulan, tiana, and pocahontas. (possibly if one feels that the pocahontas movie is just too fucked up to promote at all, we can leave in snow white i guess, one blonde would make for nice visual contrast.) suddenly your princesses are MINORITY WHITE (belle and ariel are the only ones who survive) and also 50% less stupid. right? cut out the old-school outdated do-nothing wait-around-and-get-saved boring-ass princesses, up your diversity AND your awesomeness quotient in one fell swoop.

GOD I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT FACTORS COULD POSSIBLY BE PREVENTING THIS DECISION FROM BEING MADE
