I just realized something else: the retooling is in 2 dimensions. The original has shadows on her face, to give her 3 dimensions. And the new iteration's eyes appear to have been lifted. Look: if the Disney lady doesn't get it, she doesn't get it. But somebody over there *ought* to get it. nome sayin?

"That she’s a little more sparkly for the party is not a heresy against her independent and spirited self – I consider myself independent and spirited, and I wore the sparkliest gown that I could find when I got married, because of course I did."

Two questions?
-Did she even watch the movie? A big part of Merida was…

I'm all gussied up to use the term gussied up as much as possible in this gussied up comment, until this gussied up phrase loses all meaning.

This is such quintessential bullshit. When you point out the appearance of anything, the person that likes the way the appearance is or supports the message screams "But you shouldn't care what the outside looks like, that's just appearance! Don't you care about the inside?!" It's a cute argument because it allows…

Here's the problem:

The new version looks like a 53 year old woman with 6 rounds of Botox and a really tight Spandex.

she called us on objectifying a made up princess "who is much, much more than just red curls and a green dress"

Apparently the Disney definition of being "gussied up" includes plastic surgery and facial reconstruction.

Holy shit. Never imdb-ed him so I didn't know that was him. But of course it was.

I have actually heard this age theory before, but someone must have gone to high school with her, whatever her age may be.

It does suck. But imagine that happening almost 100% of the time when people are talking about weight — that's what it's like to be fat. Some people might say being skinny looks unhealthy — which is bad. But does that follow you anywhere else? I know a whole bunch of women who want to be skinnier. I don't know a…

I don't think it's about feeling "better than". I'm thin, and it does suck to read comments about how someone like Saldana is not normal or unhealthy looking. It's the same with the "thinspiration" posts that rely on dragging down thin women to validate "average" sizes on sites like Pinterest. It's frustrating, and…

Thank you for sharing.

I still think you're mistaken. Or you're so used to only thin people being celebrated for their appearance that to you any kind of acceptance of fatness seems like anti-thinness. I've noticed that a lot of thin people who have their self-esteem very intertwined with their body size, so that when someone says that it's…

I was not referring to the threads:)

Literally question.

You know that's not true. There are people just one thread over talking about their weight (in the 120s) and fitness without any kind of shaming. Also thinner and fitter is not always "better" though. Whatever you want to do is right for you.

Thank you so much for posting. If you are 5'7" and 200lbs Jezebel is on your side. If you work hard to maintain a healthy life style and be thin you clearly have an eating disorder and are a total anti feminist piece of crap. I don't understand this site sometimes. It is like everyone that writes for it has…

No one would know that Zoe weighed so "little" if it wasn't on the cover of a magazine. I'm five feet tall and don't weigh what I look, thanks to a frame that convinces me that humans and birds mated at one point and there are leftover genes. But it's always cool to question a thin/small girl's weight and health, but…

Having a figure like Christina Hendricks is just as unrealistic. You can drop your body fat level to very low through diet and exercise but you will never be able to change the pattern in which your body stores fat.
