I could say "people see what they want to see".
It seems in this forum people like to overanalyze and just contemplate alternative interpretations of things. Which is fine, it's their right. Same as its this woman's right to express what she believes to be true. But while here its done in good fun, I don't think she realizes how closed minded her perception of the world and that movie is, and how hurtful it can be.
"Reality, is that which , when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away" - Philip K. Dick
While I respect her right to belief things and have a different opinion, I still find it appalling that such way of thinking is still a thing and they won't face reality.
In regards to today's comic...I already stated yesterday how I thought their hand-holding was way too cute. Now this....
squeeee :P

Frozen does have a queer subtext. And Mulan has an overtly trans masculine text. It's not exactly a reach. If "Questionable Content" had an east Asian trans guy character engaged in a simmering romance with, say, straight guy beefcake Steve, expressed through contests of strength and daring-do, I would have certainly pointed that out. But alas, it doesn't. And QC's blonde-haired Scandinavian bisexual character predates Elsa, so if anything it's "Frozen" that's referencing "QC".
But that's neither here nor there. I pointed out "The Little Mermaid"'s trans subtext to illuminate an interesting visual parallel to people who might not have picked up on it otherwise, not to shame trans people for existing or Disney for telling our stories. The comparison really hurts my feelings.
I know that valkygrrl doesn't care for my flavor of feminism or my gender politics. We've talked about it in private to the extent that that was useful, and I would like to think that these are things that reasonable people can disagree about. Why take potshots? If something I said upset you, just say so plainly and let's see if we can't come to an understanding.
