    dude...they got you covered...

    you know, its really problematic how hollywood is flat out REFUSING to establish how sexy the normal male human physique is. when it comes to physical attraction, there is ZERO difference between a Jack Black and an Idris Elba. Women have been brainwashed by the media to think there is a difference, but they are wrong.

    Then you have near perfect examples of the male physic (Gaston in Beauty in the Beast) vilified as an example of stereotyped masculinity.

    To be fair Disney hasn't given me any Disney princesses that are buff either. (I still love Disney though)

    Exactly! Despite less than .01% of the male population being able to achieve that level of physicality (with supplementing no less), its absolutely ridiculous they chose to portray him as a villain. If anything, Beauty and the Beast clearly establishes Gaston as the victim of societial standards forcing him into gender stereotypes.

    Now I feel bad for all the poor beautiful people. Life is so difficult....

    All the Disney princesses are fit and beautiful. It's not fair. When people complained about the stereotypes Disney princesses fit into, instead of really fixing the problem, they just replaced the traditional dainty princess with Pocahontas, a woman with an athletic figure who jumps off cliffs and swims through rivers while singing underwater. Dont they think it will make us fat people feel bad? At first I thought Pocahontas was a movie about tolerance, till it got to the part where it said: "Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest / Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth." Basically it's saying we have to run and get exercise and eat nothing but twigs and berries. I feel like Disney is a poor company.
