I second this from @Remittancegirl.
PAUL’S VERY HOT TAKE: Having royalty is a bad thing, actually https://mstdn.social/@Remittancegirl/112849173591105232
Disney since forever: American Values and Whatnot!!
Also Disney since forever: The princess is at the center of every story! The royalty is at the center of every society! Down, down with the threat to the crown!
@inthehands So much Disney revolves around the theme that family is the most important thing - you all have to look out after each other, and heck that even defines who you are. The hero's a hero because they're a princess or a child of a great explorer or important lion or whatever and maybe their stepfamily is awful but their biological family is good so they're inherently good.
I think this message is harmful! Real people are _not_ automatically good (or bad) because their parents were good (or bad), and people outside your family are important too!
If your market is families, then constantly saying "family is the most important" is just savvy business I guess.
