Hey guys :)
This is just something that's been on my mind for a long time now..
In every Disney series, the girls in the show always have perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect looks, perfect friends, perfectly fit, and basically, their life is pretty perfect. Do you think their definition of a normal teenage girl is slightly twisted?
Take a look at these pictures. They are the kinds of girls who would be popular at any high school.
What if you don't have all that? Are you not normal? 😆 I'm not bashing Disney at all. It can be quite brilliant at times. I just think that they're definition of normal teenager is a little ehh :S They are not exactly portraying normal teenage problems as some think. I mean, I went to high school. Too many girls are criticized because of the way they look or dress. There's so much pressure to act and look like everyone else. The girls they show just wear all these brands (not saying brands are bad) like all the "popular" people, and they are showing only the problems that happen to girls like. Other girls have much more on there plates. Like, all the girls on DC seem to have a LOT of money. They say Bailey on SLOD is "poor," but their definition of poor must be horribly twisted.
Basically, all I'm saying is...that can a girl who's maybe not so pretty, maybe not so fit, and maybe doesn't have a great life...can someone like that relate to Disney shows?
Back with Lizzie McGuire, they showed a little bit of the real side. Lizzie wasn't so popular, and they showed lots of realistic stuff. Do you think new Disney shows are slowly pressuring girls to act and think in a different way? Do you think they're slowly dehumanizing them? I don't know why I'm taking is so personally, just. 😳😆
What do you guys think?
Let me tell you one thing though. If a girl with no looks and no perfect body went and tried out for a DC show, they just wouldn't make it.
P.S IF this sounds like nonsense to you, ignore it :S
