1) Peter MacNicol putting his heart and soul into a character that really didn't need either, but bless him for trying.

Miranda from Brave also managed to save the day without any romantic entanglements, in fact she actively avoided them.

I don't see Elsa becoming a lesbian character but we will see some form of LBGT 'Princess' character in the next 10 years, bet on it. (And yes, that's a good thing).

your need for this to be an actual 'thing' is also sad.

What, I'm a Berniebro now? I don't think you're helping your argument the way you think you are. My point was that the MSM has become almost completely unreliable as a recorder of events.

OMG seriously? *googles* Holy Shit!

Yes we are!

Oh like you never thought of turning your mother into a bear.

because confirmation bias is a two way street?

This is why I hope it makes a shitload of money.

Social media does not equal 'World'.

This. It's why I loved Brave as well, the princess pretty much rescues herself. I would think that is a more important message to impart to girls, especially in the post-Twilight "having a girl/boyfriend is the only way the main character can end up happy" trope.

I'll agree with you on McKinnon.

and next week they'll be a new 'most hated video on YouTube' it is literally the worst, least newsworthy metric in the 21st century.

Peter MacNichol was great, that was it.

Bingo. 50 click bait articles on a vocal minority does not an 'uproar' make.

Well the important thing is you were able to overcome your confirmation bias.

Those fuckers?! they're the worst of all!!!!

THIS! You never get a second chance at a first impression. See The Force Awakens trailer which should be the gold standard for trailers.

Even Snopes and Politifact and have declared bullshit on the story and it's been *crickets* from the MSM, in fact as of this morning CNN was still clinging to the lie.
