Feminist Disney, People’s responses to your well-reasoned and clearly correct arguments about POC representation have been crushing my soul. I applaud you for speaking up in this sea of heads in the sand. You are very brave, strong, and thoughtful. Thank you.

thank you for the support, hopefully it hasn’t been too painful.   It’s always interesting to start off an internet… discussionnnn?   But it can suck to read through all the responses and realize how many people are just never going to get it.  

And yeah, for everyone else who is talking about this and who keeps talking about this even when I am not and especially if it affects you on a deeper/more personal level than it affects me, ya’ll have guts.  Don’t let them get to you.  Keep doing what you do
