I started chuckling at your response. I did not “shit on” Princess Diaries here. I literally wrote that it was/is my favorite movie and I loved the story. My problem was with the scene for the narrative it took on, and it seems like my “privileged ass” sounded much less negative than you did here with your bitter rant.
Nowhere did I say that I have been traumatized by this movie, or that this movie is doing to me what is being done to young girls in the Middle East. Where are you reading this shit??
If someone packages poop-flavored ice cream as chocolate and sells it to kids, that's not okay. That was the only thing I pointed out here.
Yes, empowering films were released. Yes, there are plenty of positive representations in the media today. But, this is a story about MY life, MY exposure to media, MY experiences. Not yours or girls in the Middle East, or girls who were unaffected.
