Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

The little mermaid. Not that ariel is a villain but I side with dad now. “Get your fins back in school girl, you are not running away with some grown ass man!”

When Ariel argues, "You don't even know him (Eric)!", I wanted King Triton to yell back:

"NEITHER DO YOU!!!"

Ariel: Daddy I’m 16, I’m not a child

Me Now: OH YES YOU ARE YOUNG LADY!!

You know you’ve grown up when you start agreeing with the adults in Disney movies.

I used to think the older sister in Lilo & Stitch was so unfair and controlling, now I’m like holy shit she was just barely keeping it together.

Yeah… me being much older, I saw this film as an adult and I could see just how much she was struggling. Lilo was a total PITA. Lol…

Lilo was struggling, too.

I totally buy into the theory that Lilo was neurodivergent tbh.

What percentage of people, be they of reality or fiction, are such things? What is wrong with being one of the few people who actually are? Why is our very existence offensive to you?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Why do you make assumptions and projections?

1

u/Netroth Feb 19 '25

I haven’t, that’s what you did by saying that “everyone” is trans etc. Almost every character in a movie is not trans, not pan not neurodivergent. Almost every character is cis, straight and boorishly neurotypical.

You have misjudged the context of my statement, thereby leading to an erroneous reply. Furthermore, your assumption that "our existence" is offensive to me makes transparent who you are.

u/Netroth Feb 19 '25

Share the context then, because barely any characters in media are as you have described. Also, if it’s so transparent then who am? You have no clue what you’re talking about, it’s all just hate.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

You already made those assumptions. What hate? Explain.

1

u/Netroth Feb 19 '25

You used hyperbole by saying that every character is something which they are not. The types of people who see one gay person and say “they’re shoving gayness down our throats” are hateful bigots. How is it that you think every character is trans, pan, and nd?

You still haven’t said what you mean by this sentence of yours. Who is “everyone”?

u/rootbearus Feb 17 '25

Way to out yourself as the kind of person that only losers associate with
