The Internet age has turned every news outlet into Star magazine. Space Aliens Fucking Michelle Obama or Frozen Fans Demand Elsa Get a Girlfriend. It’s all the same level of veracity. People magazine and Entertainment Weekly and MTV carried the torch for a story about how Frozen fans are demanding that Elsa the princess from Frozen identify as a lesbian in the planned sequel. They asked Idina Menzel who voiced Elsa and she said, sure, sounds good, just give me my fat ass sequel paycheck.
By “Frozen fans”, the news outlets didn’t mean the tens of millions who pushed Frozen past record worldwide box office, they mean a chick named Alexis Isabel Moncada who made a hashtag called #GiveElsaaGirlfriend that’s been re-Tweeted two thousand times.
“many in the LGBT community view Frozen as a metaphor for the experience of coming out and accepting who you are. Yet Elsa, the film’s protagonist, will probably end up with a male prince or king in the upcoming Frozen sequel.”
Yeah, she might. Since she likes men. And Disney likes money.
Disney is filled to the brim with gay and progressive executives who have zero personal interest in flipping Frozen into a lesbian icon at the expense of a multi-billion dollar franchise. Disney’s biggest audience is middle America, followed by Asia where reside the most ardently vile racists on the planet.
It makes sense that a cartoon character might be gay. It makes no sense that a non gay franchise character would suddenly become gay for political points. Excluding every character in the revised Archie comics naturally. Why not interview a hundred eight year old girl Frozen fans and see how many are clamoring for Elsa to go gay. It’s none. It’s easy to confuse the popularity of lesbian porn with a groundswell of support for lesbian animated fare for Disney. Are you reporting the news or trying to make the news?
