    Personally, I shit on it more for being racist than being transphobic, but there’s also a throwaway line in there about crossdressing that makes me uncomfortable. It’s not a bad movie overall, and I definitely benefitted from seeing a girl masking as a boy (that resonated with me FOR SOME REASON) being heroic.

      Racism is rampant in old disney, its unfortunate.

      I rewatched pocahontas as an adult with my kid and straight up had to turn it off on a certain song, if you know you know

      Personally, i think its beautiful that people can find their own meaning in media but its good to keep in mind that the intent wasnt really there afaik.
