No its not inherently sexual. Beauty means alot more to us than sexual attraction. We associate beauty with intelligence, talent, hygeine, and much more. Thats why beauty can make a difference to straight people looking at their same gender, its not just about sexual attraction

[@daffyphack]

I think our culture wants us to view beauty as inherently sexual. Because if we feel that since we don't look good, that we fail to be sexually attractive, and thus risk being alone, it makes us scramble to find the thing that will fix us. It's what makes us buy beauty products, clothes, diet books, and all those other things that will make us beautiful and thus valuable to other human beings. If we could just feel good about looking good, then we would be happy with what we had, and that's not good for the bottom line.

Like, the cheating could be forgiven. The child neglect, stalking of underage girls, and attempted sexual assault on his wife aren’t forgivable. The “protagonist” is the embodiment of a creepy perv preying on young girls. My dad cheated on my mom when I was a kid. Upon learning about this as an adult I was immensely disappointed in my father but I still love him. It’s not a good thing to do and it broke my mom’s heart (she deserves better) but my dad has grown as a person in the decade after the divorce. He admits his actions weren’t acceptable but that he was having trouble understanding why he didn’t feel the same way about my mom as when the marriage began. Cheating, though mean, isn’t enough for me to declare someone is irredeemably evil. You know why I can still love my dad? BECAUSE HE DIDN’T STALK UNDERAGE GIRLS, SEXUALLY ASSAULT MY MOM, AND ABANDON ME IN A THEME PARK SO HE COULD GET LAID! That shit is genuinely unforgivable. Dude is supposed to be a sympathetic character yet represents literally almost every red flag a dude can have. The infidelity is just the tip of the iceberg!

[@snakeygirl4296]

Ps. My dad is a genuinely great dad. When i went to disneyland with him as a kid he even got on some of the rides with me even though he’s terrified of roller coasters. He went out of his way to ensure my lil brother and I had loads of wholesome fun and didn’t start any arguments with my mom (this was after the divorce and he still wanted majority custody) since he didn’t want to worry my brother and I. I only ever went to disneyland once but it was enough for me. The good memories with my family are irreplaceable.

Randy thinks the beautiful women hired to play the princesses are surely deliberately sexualized to tempt married fathers on vacation with their families, but there would be outrage if the married father tried to act on that.

I know if I heard my parents drone on about something I thought were happy family memories from my childhood like it was absolute hell for them (let alone make an entire creepy film about how much they hated what made me happy) I'd definitely feel pretty crappy.

The whole things makes me wonder two things: 1.)

Why give Disney World tons of money to have everybody brought into the parks to do this project for several days/weeks, but simultaneously do it as an act of decrying Disney? The man is so confusing and I too worry about his kids and how they'll grow up seeing the world. :,(

But if people want to go to them because they have nostalgic ties to the content of the park, or some other reason (like it's easier to take kids there than it is to go to Spain or something). I've been to Disney, and it is artificial, but everyone knows that. It's still a really cool place to go with your family, it can even be relaxing. A lot of people go on vacation for relaxation, and a theme park experience gives you more of a chance for that than going 'on an adventure'

I've been thinking about this video a lot lately, and I think that the part of the Randy Moore's comments that I find most offensive is his view on the Disney Princesses. He finds the disney princesses to be aesthetically beautiful and therefore interprets them as innately being objects of male fantasy. Never once does he entertain the notion that they Disney Princesses are created for the young female gaze. While I acknowledge that several of the non-white princesses are subject to orientalism, and that the princesses are created by men, the princesses are one portrayal of women not designed to appeal primarily to men. The fact that Moore designs his princesses as prostitutes is just another example of male entitlement in a feminine space.

[@chlorin333]

The shortest dumbest answer is that people who barely know what an emu is think it's funny/clever to say it's emu instead of way more common turkey legs.

Well, it's the same as most conspiracy theories. It falls apart if you think about it for more than 20 seconds, AND if you actually understand how things work. It depends on you just being a sponge and accepting whatever you are told, especially if it's ominous.

He also included one of the actresses that played one of the French teenagers, BUT he refers to her as "one of the little sexy French girls." She looked about 14-15 in the movie; she MAY be older, but it was weird to refer to a minor teenage character as sexy. I forgot how much of the ick Randy gave me.

31:05 I just realized that when Randy is scoffing at the adults at Fantasmic, most of them probably have kids. Of course they'd act as shocked and excited as their kids, especially if they're younger. Imagine waking up on Christmas with presents from Santa and your parents respond like it was just another Tuesday. Disney does have a magic to it for young kids, and while there is a discussion to be had about how Mickey Mouse might occupy the same place as Santa, especially considering Santa's beginning in the US, that's not happening here. He is equating the act of making the magic of Disney real for children to the belief of Disney's magic for the parents. When I was about four, I'd yell "open sesame" At the garage door and my mom would secretly press the button. She'd act excited every time, and it made me feel magical.
