look who’s finally joined!

look who got pushed to the side

would like to point out that this image has the intentions of showcasing the newest additions to the princess line up, so all the older princesses of course aren’t the center of attention.

of course, the placement of certain princesses could be better, but also consider this was probably purely unintentional. or in better words, not a conscious thing.

oh believe me, it is completely possible for racism to be subconscious.

I think it’s fairly obvious that the racial problems would be ammeliorated if they HAD arranged by sequence. That means Mulan would be in front of Snow White- Rapunzel and Jasmine would be in front of Sleeping Beauty AND Ariel- and Tiana would make her way to the front, past Cinderella and Belle.

I mean honestly it’s sort of laughable to look at this and decide that it’s arranged to display newer in the front, and older in the back. It’s actually only relevant to the frontmost two characters and no one else. So might want to come up with a better reason to justify racialized placement if you are really dead set against calling it out, since it’s harmful whether or not it’s “intentional.”

Especially since that’s really a consciousness in and of itself. People who care about this stuff consult others and listen to what they say. Very easily, anyone with an iota of understanding of what usual critiques against the princesses are, would have noticed that.

unintentional my ass. Shouldn’t all of the new ones be front and center, and old guard back right and back left? Don’t look that way..I see mighty white all front and center.

Yep, & if we’re going by newest that would mean Tiana standing next to Merida or Rapunzel. Instead she’s all the way in the back.

I fixed it!There. That’s what it would look like if this was actually a case of chronological placement.

reblogged for excellent commentary (and “fixed” image). This placement is complete BOLOGNA. That’s right, BOLOGNA. And it’s racist as fuck. So, yep. I call you out, Disney. I call you out. They should call the original image “Princesses of Color, Get To The Back of the Bus”.

globochem:

Wolf Blitzer was attempting to interview this woman, but decided to just allow her baby to grab the microphone and babble into it, drowning out anything resembling an interview, while continuing to ignore the baby and the fact that it’s ruining everything.

Keep it top-notch, CNN.

EDIT: Wolf just asked her if she thanked the lord for surviving the tornado; “You have to thank THE LORD; don’t you thank the lord?!” To which she responded, practically unfairly embarrassed: “actually, …I’m an atheist.”

AWESOME LADY.

SUCK IT, WOLFMAN

Beautiful!

This is exactly right. - Paul

cameronesposito:

Seems like every 6 months or so - maybe once a year - there is a debate about rape jokes. Here’s how it goes:

A dude tells jokes about rape or deals with hecklers in way that includes rape. A woman hears these jokes or is the heckler. She publicly states that she is upset or didn’t like the joke…

“In the end, Facebook acknowledged its mistake—the company claimed that in the millions of posts it reviews for inappropriate content each day, someone had thought the painted boobs were real boobs and mistakenly blocked the page. “Our policy prohibits photos of actual nude people, not paintings or sculptures,” a company spokesperson told me.”

Um… @Elfquest heard differently… Also, this article as called “Facebook’s Nude Art Problem” this morning. Interesting change.

This is one of my favorite uses of the Internet ever, like a much easier-to-digest form of fan fiction (in my opinion) that also gives a sort of sweet illusion that some of my favorite tv characters exist somewhere in the “real world”. I love it.
