Just like how Shek didn't know that Fiona would turn into a SBBW ogre. He was prepared to wear an angry skinny white girl like a condom

I didn't need that mental image. But since you have installed it in my head, I am honor-bound to upvote.

I'm delighted to report that I have no idea what gif you're referring to, and I am happy to keep it that way

Is there a link directly to the gif? for those if us who don't have reddit logins?

[–] xylol@leminal.space 9 points 16 hours ago

You shouldn't need a login, if on mobile set your browser to desktop mode to bypass the age thing

Shrek 2 takes it further with Fiona actively choosing to let the magic wear off so her boy toy would turn back into an ogre rather than settle for a twunk rest of her life.

That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 48 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

That's the interpretation from the modern perspective on relationships. The tale is from a time where women (well, more like girls to be exact) were married off without any say of their own, and the tale was supposed to tell them "hey, we know the guy we're forcing you to marry seems like a hairy monster, buuuuut if you can look past that he might be nice actually!"

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 32 points 17 hours ago

But in the Disney movie which the picture is referencing, it’s not a forced marriage, which is the version I think most people think of.

To me, the original tales all felt like the Murphy’s Law of storytelling. While they are the originals and are much more mature material, I honestly feel the vast majority of Disney adaptations (I’m talking classic 2d series run) are better at teaching the lessons to a modern audience than the original stories. Times change and art often reflects this.

Sadly, the pendulum has swung too far the other way and we’re remaking material in a span of time that the lessons haven’t changed all that much. That’s why you can go back to pretty much all eras of film and get valuable lessons from it because the lessons all still apply. It’s just that much of a new medium.

I have to imagine there’s a meme or comic of Bella being all super excited ready to bang becoming disappointed once he transforms back into a human, but I wouldn’t know how to search for it without having to sift through piles of rule 34 to find one. I’m not brave enough.

[–] peregrin5@piefed.social 13 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Now that I think about it, I certainly was disappointed. He was a hot muscular beast until he turned into a cookie cutter long haired twink. Should have been a clue.

Now that you mention it, I wonder what that says about the shift of sexual morals. The original French tale was written in 1740.

Right, Beauty, and the author's thinly veiled fetish.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 12 points 13 hours ago

I know you're kind of joking, but the story was written during a time where girls would often be married off to older men they didn't know and the story was meant as a comfort/encouragement to these young girls that he may be ugly and old and not really what you dreamed of, but maybe he turns out to be an actually kind person who can give you a good life and you can learn to love him despite his looks.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 76 points 12 hours ago (6 children)

I'm no Disney expert but Belle is the only worthy Princess of the bunch

She wanted to pursue knowledge, not a boy or just fun; she dropped everything to save her dad instead of causing his death or dethronement; she was fully aware how disgusting Gaston was regardless of appearance; she was seduced by books not riches; and yes, she was ready to ride the beast

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 30 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

And then she founded the company "Bad Dragon"

Well it can't have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.

I can't be the only one who was disappointed when the beast turned into generic inbred royal twink?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 43 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not a real man like Gaston

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 21 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Gaston had years of practice sucking down liquid protein too

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 22 points 14 hours ago

Noooo oooooone sucks like Gaston, no one fucks like Gaston, no one's dick's as incredibly thick as Gaston

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 58 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Presumably she wasn't just prepared to ride the beast, she actively wanted to be ruined by it.

She was probably disappointed when the transition happened. She thought she was going to be raw-dogged by the monster.

I wouldn't blame Belle if she was disappointed and called it off.

TBF, the stories that Disney's been strip-mining for generations're crazy dark, originally.

  1. Sleeping Beauty woke to find she'd had two children, and now they were teens nearly as old as she was when she fell asleep. 🤮
  2. The Little Mermaid was double-crossed by a human princess last minute, and was turned into seafoam (died). 🥹
  3. ad nauseum...

Can't find another source for this tweet from either Twitter or Reddit, but here's a screenshot of this tweet by Twitter user @hiimbobbi:

Personally, Belle was not fooling me or anyone. When the Beast changed into a human, I saw that look on her face. That was DISAPPOINTMENT.

He was still a wealthy prince, no? If he was charming and kind on top of that, I think a lot of women wouldn't mind, even ones that aren't furries or monsterfuckers.

If I've ever watched the movie I don't recall it at all, admittedly.

Worse bit is when Geralt turned up

[–] M137@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

With how common and popular female sex toys modeled after animal and fantasy creature penises, tongues etc. are this just makes sense. And having known some horse girls in my life, yeah, I'd not be surprised at all to learn many have fantasies like that. I always found the "horse/dragon/tentacle etc. dildo" thing pretty fucked up, I'm sure many of those people (and people in general) would not like it if they heard about "horse/dragon/whatever fleshlight or sexdoll for men". (Never seen or heard about that existing, but I'm sure it does).

Did the older live action one get a new actor or did it just become Ron Pearlman without make up?
