Everything We Know About Love, We Learned From Disney Cartoons
Lesson learned: Blonde, brunette, red-headed or mute mermaid, it’s really just your figure that counts anyway
Maybe it’s because my company hasn’t launched to Des Moine, Iowa yet, but every town I’ve ever lived in, the social stereotypes have always been the same. From Los Angeles to Miami to Vegas to Scottsdale, all my one (or two) time homes boast the same standard stereotype when describing the local women: Too skinny, fake boobs, fake personality, fake tan. Usually also a “fake blonde” with the exception of Miami where the Latina/Cubana influence is the majority.
Similarly, you will hear the same description of the typical man in these towns as well: Douchebag.
So what is it about the people in these geographics that earn them such reputations, or better, the supposed inherit need to exude a certain aura the consequently gets perceived this way? After coming across this amusing dicetion of classic Disney characters and their inherient social messages, I have to assume perhaps it’s the access to media in these larger, wealthier towns that have exposed them to this influence perhaps more so that middle America and subsequently resulted in a very twisted perception of what men and women think are attractive, and what they should be attracted to.
P.S. Anyone else notice how much chunkier and plain Snow White (1937) is compared to everyone else? And on what planet is Jasmine’s wardrobe appropriate for a children’s cartoon??
Conversely, the princes in my opinion get less attractive with the years. Hellooo, Prince Charming.
