_____________________________________________
If I think about it, as an Anna fan, Elsa literally got tons of previews beforehand When Frozen 2 premiered in theaters, Anna, from my point of view, was relegated to the background. But that doesn't mean I'm going around saying Jennifer Lee is a fan of Elsa or that she identifies with her a lot. If that were the case, I would have already thought that Elsa was her favorite because of all the publicity and ads she did, and that she's leaving Anna out. I mean... hello, where's Anna? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
If I reacted in such a toxic way, wow, I'd even be envious that Elsa supposedly gets more attention in the trailers and Anna gets almost none, or as I said, appears in the background. But... why waste my energy on something unnecessary? Elsa, whether she likes it or not, is ONE of the protagonists of Frozen. It's clear that she's the golden star of Frozen, so why would I be envious of something like that? Let Elsa shine as much as she wants, however she wants. I'd be happy to see something of her too, because as an Anna fan, I'd be just as proud and very excited. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
However, what really bothers me is the toxic side of the fandom. They haven't even said much about Frozen 3. Anna and Kristoff's wedding was barely announced, and Elsa fans are already upset about that news alone, asking, "Where's Elsa?" I mean, have they forgotten that we saw concept art featuring Elsa two years ago? (Yes, Anna appears too, but Elsa is right there in front!), have you forgotten the questions you asked at D23 two years ago? And you're only getting upset over a tiny bit of news about Anna? That's definitely toxic behavior, and not only that, you're labeling Jenifer Lee as having Anna as her favorite, blaming her for not giving Elsa the attention she needs, and blah blah blah, when it's actually the complete opposite. Anna and Elsa are like Jen Lee's daughters, and she loves them as such.
Grow up, fandom! ANNA AND ELSA ARE THE STARS OF THE FRANCHISE! . So what if there's news about Anna and Kristoff's wedding? It's not like Elsa's sparkle dimmed by that "great news" when they're barely giving us any details! I still don't understand how they can make a beautiful love story about sisters who are completely different from each other and have their fandom at war like it's Northuldras vs. Arendelle. And you know what's ironic about all this? Elsa is happier than her fandom about the news, or well... at least she's excited that her little sister will get married in the future. She even threw her an engagement party! But her fans? Oh my God, I never expect anything from them and they always manage to disappoint me, and I mean it, they disappoint me. And no, I'm not generalizing. I know there are Elsa fans who adore Anna, but they're few and far between. But the majority? Yes, they are a huge disappointment. And no, I'm not generalizing about Anna fans either. I know there are fans of the character who don't appreciate Elsa, but... yes, they are very few from my perspective, but this seems very extreme to me. It's sad and very regrettable. It breaks my heart that there's so much competition, especially coming from a franchise where the protagonists are different and love each other very much despite those differences. 🥀🥀🥀🥀
My feelings right now are like:
