We’re all different. Especially him. But there’s something kind of fantastic about that, isn’t there?

Audrey says “fuck your gender roles”

[there-was-a-girl]

This movie is super underrated.

Audrey is so underrated. How can you not love her?

I have a love-hate relationship with this movie. On one hand it’s got awesome PoC characters who defy racial and gender stereotypes. It also discusses colonialism and how people tend to destroy indigenous cultures to obtain land and resources (which is why the crew ultimately decided a to pretend they never found Atlantis because they don’t want anyone else to try and destroy the culture). But on the other hand, the whole plot is that Atlantis needs a white, cishet man to save it from extinction and for some reason he understand their culture and language better than they do.

hEY FUCK YOU OKAY MILO WAS THE ANTITHESIS OF WHITE SAVIOR HE WAS A NERDY USELESS LITTLE SHIT WHO WAS COWARDLY UNTIL OTHERS FORCED HIM TO ACT HIS ONLY STRENGTHS WERE HIS MIND AND HIS ETHICS HE WAS THE PERFECT DUDE FOR THE JOB AND THE REASON HE KNEW BETTER WAS BECAUSE HE RIGOROUSLY STUDIED TEXTS THAT HAD BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED IN ATLANTIS BECAUSE KIDA’S FATHER INTENTIONALLY LET HIS KINGDOM LAPSE INTO DECAY AND OBSCURITY DO NOT PULL THAT WHITE SAVIOUR BULLSHIT BECAUSE MILO WAS A DAMN GOOD DUDE

[waltdisneyconfessionsrage]

I’ve been trying to tell people this for years. Also, what differentiates Milo’s experience from the white savior complex is his expectation and his attitude. When looking for Atlantis, the last thing Milo expects to find are people. He says the most they thought that they would find are carvings and pottery. And he would have been happy with just that.

And even when he finds the Atlanteans, he treats the culture and people with the utmost respect (peek the scene where the crew has their audience with the king). He never tries to interfere in the people’s way of life nor change them. He’s merely an observer fascinated with the culture/people and just wants to know more about them.

In most movies, the white savior comes into the situation with an attitude of superiority and only through his interactions with the native people (and a lot of times a beautiful native woman) is he humbled and then eventually brought in as an honorary member of the people. Milo never asks for thanks or wants to make a name for himself. He does what he does because he loves it and it’s a way to keep his grandfather’s legacy alive.

Yeah. Milo was a damn good dude.

[vanyel-or-just-van]

And another thing about Milo that’s made evidenced by this scene in particular? He’s got respect for women. He doesn’t ask why it’s a GIRL mechanic on the expedition, only why it’s a TEENAGER. Doesn’t question Kida’s leadership and knowledge when he meets her. (I can’t think of more examples off the top of my head but I’m sure they’re there).

Milo is a wonderful Disney protagonist, and this movie deserves the underground love it receives.

i'm sure someone has said it already but have you noticed the "comfy girl" romanticization

doesn’t extend to fat people?

a thin girl wearing sweats and a messy bun and old t-shirts or jerseys and slippers and etc. is cute and so loveable and sexy and girl next door like

but a fat girl in the same exact outfit is sloppy and lazy and unattractive and must mean she doesn’t care about her appearance and doesn’t take care of herself

[jadelyn]

The further you are from the thin/cis/white/etc. definition of “beauty”, the more intensely you are expected to perform femininity as a way to “make up for” your failure to be perfect.

One of the biggest tragedies of mankind through out all of history is all of the female geniuses who were never allowed to reach their potential and contribute their gifts to the world. Think of all the female “Mozarts” or “Einsteins” who could have been, but never were.

[sylviaplathstypewriter-deactiva]

men were raping them, forcing them to bear child after child, keeping them trapped at home and economically dependent, exchanging food and shelter and a promise of “safety and security” for sex & heirs.

[cheesyradfem]

It’s fascinating that the OP brings up Mozart and Einstein because Mozart’s sister Marianne “Nannerl” was a child prodigy on the harpsichord in her own right, but was forced to give up her career to get married on her father’s orders. Albert Einstein’s first wife, Mileva Maric, was a physicist and sole female student at Zurich’s Polytechnics and the second woman to study Physics and Mathematics full-time at their department, and may’ve collaborated with Einstein on his early papers, but according to their son she had to put aside her scientific ambitions to take care of the children. So these cases of unfulfilled female potential are more literal than you’d expect.

The Public School Calendar Is Unfairly Centered Around Christian Traditions

The equally important holidays of other faiths and cultures are neglected.

Teen vogue, dropping some truth bombs.

[bhujangan]

I started taking off school and when possible, work, during my major religious holidays. I took the last day of Navratra off and I would’ve taken off Divali if it wasn’t on a Sunday. I’ll take Hola Mohalla and Visakhi off next year. If anyone protests, I roll my eyes and say “you get a month off for Christmas.”

On the other hand, if you’re in uni and your professors won’t work with you, see if your uni has an anti discrimination office. They can be under names such as “office of equity & inclusion” or “office of institutional equity” or “diversity office”
