@haleykloha: Disney taught you a lot about coercive control and abuse and disguised it as love. Let’s look at that! #coercivecontrol #abuse #domesticabuseawareness #education #dv

Auntie Airmi 🍉 :

The best movie about love

Zach :

I don't think Mother Gothel's relationship with Rapunzel was framed as anything other than coercive control. Wasn't that the whole point?

EvErYtHiNg_iS_fiNe🔥🫠🔥 :

Disney taught me about happily ever after. Life taught me that happily ever after does not exist.

mustache rider 🖤 :

my parents are very knowledgeable about control and abuse (their jobs require them to). anytime I wanted to be a specific princess, they explained why I really did not. i eventuality just wanted independence and started watching more Pixar lol.

Dr. Stephanie :

there are so many shows I won't let my son watch without me sitting there pointing out the bad relationship stuff. Tangled being at the top of my list

Nurse Kass :

I'm 37 and I'm still unlearning this 😮‍💨

Jac 🇨🇦♾️🏳️‍🌈📚🤓🧘🏻‍♀️ :

It reinforces that someone is coming to save you 😭

Estrada :

Ima need you to do a training week with New Jersey judges.

JuliaMcGhoulia :

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Thanks for this

Tricia Baron :

thank you

JBthatsme :

Belle was one of my favs 😭 Mulan my other favorite.

JoDee Neil Author :

Disney wrecked decades of my life

Amber Jain :

Always hated princess movies as a child and never understand why till I got older.

Nicole Horn23 :

I adored Disney movies when I was younger. Now my kids and I watch them and talk the entire movie about all the toxic behaviors.

Meghan | The Plotline© :

I hard agree with all of this. But weird challenge for us all — can anyone rewrite these so they are engaging and interesting without these tropes? Do we have examples of stories without them?

✨ ethereal librarian✨ :

after I got out of my active relationship, I realized that "Love is an Open Door" from Frozen is a perfect illustration of love bombing and sounded so much like what I went through

Mandisa :

Yes my kids will never ever watch these with me

Gangsterina :

I was saying this back in the '90's. I wouldn't watch these movies. As a parent I wouldn't buy Disney.

Dominique Miller :

I hate that Disney taught us this. Ugh.

phamphatale :

This is actually really helpful breakdown for me to incorporate in my post abuse healing process. I’ve always felt Disney was a horror genre and now that feels validated.

hemizeni 🌱ヘミゼニ :

yuppp

a_little_princess333 :

My mom used to ask about what qualities I liked about the princesses and then discussed different ways I could be that way in a healthy way. At my age and level discussing. I think that’s why I didn’t see so many problems because I was raised to see the movie differently so seeing the more nuance was very interesting

ProfFritzExplainsIt :

I’m curious to know your thoughts on more modern movies like frozen and Moana
