Ummmm, okay.
But this faithfulness to Walt Disney’s 1938 film is precisely the problem, according to theme park reviewers, Julie Tremaine and Katy Dowd. “The attraction preserves much of the charm of what was originally opened,” they wrote on SFGate. “[But] it also adds in the movie’s biggest problem.” They continued: “Haven't we already agreed that consent in early Disney movies is a major issue? Why not re-imagine an ending in keeping with the spirit of the movie and Snow White's place in the Disney canon, but that avoids this problem?”
Yes, let's change a hundreds year old tale because it offends todays wokes. Better yet, let's follow Hitler's lead and burn all the books and erase all the video of it?
...and laid into Disney’s Snow White for normalising “unconscious sexual activity”. “Kissing a woman … without confirmation or consent can be read as sexual violence,” she said. “Rather than the romantic dream story that is widely believed. [It is] rape.”
Who will be the first to use the "Snow White rape defense" in court?
My toxic male reaction is these dopey's need to get laid once in a while. Jeesh.
