[quote=Dark Wind]Just saw Frozen finally. Loved it. However, the topic of the "Let It Go" scene has apparently come up in many articles. Some have reported a dislike for the character of Elsa letting her hair down and then transforming appearance into a more sexualized "empowered" woman. Personally (at least for now), I feel like these articles are grasping at straws mainly because compared to other disney characters (Jasmine, Pocahontas, Ariel), Elsa seems pretty tame. And for that matter, what is so terrible about "sexiness" anyway? Don't get it twisted, objectification is wrong. However, I find this attack on sexual liberation to be oddly misplaced. Thoughts?[/quote] I never saw the movie myself but I went ahead and looked this scene up. They're grasping at straws... This stuff happens all the time... *Gasp* Her hair is down! Skin shows! Sexualization! [quote=ActRaiserTheReturned] No. I'm implying that anything involving incest is filthy and unacceptable. Including with the Lesbian involvement with it. [/quote] So you're against homosexuality? :P Ok, I see a man and a woman being married as an unnatural abomination. I shall now prevent you from marrying the person you love, does that sound fair? [quote=Dark Wind] Not arguing against this. But kids do pick up things and lessons from media. Parents should probably show a little more control on what their children watch. Or at least take the time to explain certain things to them. [/quote] We should definitely keep aware of what media is teaching our kids. I am very against censoring/limiting/controling what our children see. Doing so simply blinds them from things and leaves from unprepared for such things when it pops up in the real world. We're best off letting your child be exposed to it all, but being there to assist them, answer questions and encourage their curiosity. Part of this involves knowing the messages the media is saying just so you know what they're telling your kid and can act/respond accordingly. Like, if media says something like "You should be thin or no one will love you" that's obviously something you need to teach your child isn't the case, teach them to be happy with who they are and that media can be wrong. Actually, the best thing you can probably do for your kids is not teach them anything directly. But rather just teach them to become critical and aware thinkers, so they are able to observe things rationally and make their own decisions rather than simply believing whatever they get told. [quote=Turtlicious] No? It's weird that the first thing you'd think of racism, not everyone sees other people as inferior dude. Maybe you should join us forward thinkers in the 21st century. lmaoWhat I was talking about.[/quote] So... because she prefers the company of men to women and has a pet tiger she's transgender? o.O Talk about totally missing the point of what being transgender is... There are tons of girls who prefer to be around boys than girls and they definitely still feel/identify as a woman.
