"Haven't we already agreed that consent in early Disney movies is a major issue? That teaching kids that kissing, when it hasn't been established if both parties are willing to engage, is not OK?." Alright, SF Examiner- I'll bite.

IMO teaching kids about consent is a parent's responsibility. Many Disney movies (especially the older ones, sheesh) have some scenes that might land better today with a little context and explanation from a parent or guardian. Sounds like if parents feel so compelled, they could use this *checks notes*...Disneyland ride experience... to spur a conversation about healthy relationships.

OR, maybe it's just a ride and many kids won't even pick up on the fact that Snow White is even there to begin with.

Its not wrong. You spend so much time promoting how woke your company is and how you are going to do x y and z to prove it... but in reality, one of the first major things you do shows that you were really just playing to the headlines and dont actually know how to fix things.

That is a really good point- I didn't think about it that way!

Actually, as I understand it, at that point in the movie the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White's animal friends, and Prince Charming all thought Snow White was dead. So, rather than being an example of a non-consensual kiss, I'd say this is an example of attempted necrophilia. Those no good Disney dastards, what ARE they teaching our children...

When will all of this craziness end??????

There aren't even words for how stupid this is. If your child is learning their life lessons from Disney cartoons, there are bigger issues going on. When will we remember that children are NOT viewing these movies through adults eyes?

This is such a ridiculous argument. The kiss is very chaste and meant to be a tribute to her in death. It's not like he was all over her, if you know what I mean. It's a peck, as "romantic" an a European kiss on the cheek. This is just not something worth worrying about at all.

Hmmm...I need to ask my oldest daughter if the kissing scene in Snow White lead her to believe that it was ok for people to kiss her without her consent....

There are two kinds of coffee in the break room, people used to fight about it.

One day a coworker asked me which kind I supported, I said "either is fine, whatever has been made". Stunned silence.
