He is a guy!
AO3 would be that way.
I will not sleep until feminism has achieved examples of Those Two Guys or Just Some Guys in movies, like, character design that is funky, possibly dumb as shit, absolutely a good time
I want this for us
you know what? I finally remembered an example of this.
Despite everything … Undertale is still here for us.
Luisa VS Hercules 🤜🤛 Who will you bet on?😏
hey do you guys know about the uncomfortably horny BDSM song cut from Disney’s Aladdin
no but I wanna
it’s called “Humiliate The Boy” and it’s just line after line of Jafar making it Weird™️
including the very real lyrics “oh, we’ll emasculate him slowly/all the better to enjoy/how delicious to humiliate the boy”
Disney why
Disney I can’t kinkshame fast enough to keep up with this shit
after learning Ursula’s character design was based on a (truly splendid) drag queen, I just sort of got lazy with assuming she would always be the most salacious disney villain.
but apparently Jafar is a dom with a thing for twinks & humiliation play so what do i know
I don’t think I’d call Ursula especially salacious–she makes jokes implying that men only want sex, and she moves like a theatre major at the grocery store with their friends, but I wouldn’t describe her as horny.
I guess Frollo has a whole song about how horny he is, and both Gaston and Jafar also have “marry the heroine but in an evil way” as motives.
Ursula is comfortable in her sexuality. Frollo is horny on main but trying to deny it. Gaston and, apparently, Jafar are horny period, with Gaston being mysoginistc and Jafar having a humiliation kink
Oh dear
ok someone do an alignment chart
I made an alignment chart because I needed something to occupy my time. no one but frollo is on the “conflicted” bar because no other disney villain is anything but 100% comfortable with their sexuality and that’s that about that. gaston is evilly sexy, not evilly horny, because the only person gaston is horny for is gaston.
also, did we NOT already know jafar was kinky? was the slave girl outfit and hypnokink not a huge giveaway?
I love tumblr coz where else would I read a serious analysis of Disney villains in terms of them being sexy/kinky/horny while listening to a very disturbing kinky Jafar song
someone replace “but conflicted” with “but a creep” and add scar and hades
I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”
This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.
This is why I laugh my ass of whenever dudes talk about how men are “objectified” by the media too. Because 9 times out of 10, what men think is “women objectifying men” are characters like Gaston.
And Gaston is NOT a woman-driven fantasy. Gaston is a male wish fulfillment fantasy. Gaston is not what women want, he is what men want to be. He is hyper-masculinity to an extreme degree, dripping with sexism and testosterone. The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men.
While I don’t want to generalize, female fans tend to prefer a very different kind of male hero. We like the Rogers, the Milos, the Hercules. Genuinely kind, often awkward men who are sometimes vulnerable and respectful to women.
Yes, this is a generalization. I own up to that. But I think it’s important to remember that there is often VERY big difference between what MEN want to be and what women WANT in our media.
Reblogging this again because fucking this. And hell, even the muscley dudes (see: Khal Drogo, Hercules, Thor, Captain America) are loved, not because they are muscley, but because they are sweet and loving and adorable. We love Thor because his mispronounces “Hubble” as “Hooble,” not because of what he can do with a hammer.
Reblogging for the awesome comments.
I’m just here to say I love the animation of Roger so fucking much. look how fucking smooth and graceful and agile he is. 2d animation is amazing and i just want to hug it
All of this.
Okay, listen, to return briefly to the idea of Gaston: Beauty and the Beast is actually the first animated Disney screen play written by a woman. Linda Woolverton, the screenwriter, got a lot of attention for creating a self-proclaimed feminist heroine in 1991, but she also had a *lot* to say about Gaston. She didn’t stumble into that villain by mistake. She crafted him based on her own experiences with men and even her ex-boyfriends, and said: “To Gaston, Belle wasn’t a person; she was a possession. And I think it’s great for little boys to see that Beauty doesn’t choose him. Not only can they look at Gaston as an example of how not to treat women, but they can hopefully be taught by the Beast, a macho guy who is comfortable with his feelings and gentleness. He could teach a lot of men, in fact, about sensitivity.“
Not only is Gaston not a woman’s fantasy, he’s literally a woman’s horror story.
Reblogging for:

“Not only is Gaston not a woman’s fantasy, he’s literally a woman’s horror story.”
The older I’ve gotten the more outrageous Gaston’s proposal scene has looked. It’s ludicrous. Every detail of it is bad. His attempt to describe their happy future to her, while trying to get her to marry him, involves her giving him a foot massage. Six or seven sons ‘like him,’ no possibility acknowledged of daughters.
The most appealing detail in the whole scenario is ‘roasted meat’ and even that is framed as all about him, without even a sop to ‘I will be providing this for you, personally, to consume and enjoy.’
And the entire point of the scene culminating in her dropping his boots out the door after him is that he is, as a person, profoundly unattractive. Anyone who would expect a woman to want Gaston either hasn’t watched the movie since they were very very small or has his same empathy and compassion problems.
the first law of genderbent characters is sex appeal is neither created or destroyed! it’s so rude to use genderbent art as an excuse to make characters hot, those slobs! exist! for! a! reason!
why do this
when we could have these
(and actually while the bottom ones are better i’m still hella pissed about that button nose, HADES DOES NOT HAVE A BUTTON NOSE also give her a chin dammit)
THIS IS INSULTING TO THE FULL BODIED DRAG QUEEN WHO INSPIRED HER CHARACTER IRL
Divine is not a twink you will be punished for your sins
