Gaston on women’s Lib.
You see this is the sort of thing I like. Because, especially at Disney, you don’t want to really discourage any of those ideals “thinking, having your own ideas” but you also have to stay in character. So you associate those ideals with the princess in the group, the one who the young girl is supposed to idolize. So, while staying in character, Gaston can announce his displeasure for women who read while also encouraging it in a young girl by giving it the good association of Belle. Idk, I always thought those work arounds that Disney villain face characters go through to not be overtly mean to children but stay in character were really interesting.
I just gained so fucking much respect for this Gaston.
No one’s sneakily a feminist like Gaston
I love this because people are basically getting paid to be horrible. I mean all of the other villains are great at doing this and obviously staying in character. It makes me sad because I can imagine them being mean to someone who just doesn’t get it and becomes overly offended.
