pocahontas was raped multiple times in the ship and was impregnated. in order keep peace negotiations, john rolfe married her. he only married her for diplomatic reasons and gave away their son to his brother and never saw him again after she died. her story is incredibly dark and tragic

Dude seemed so nice in the Disney movie. Not the first one that’s problematic but has some minor artistic merit. The straight to DVD sequel that’s as offensive as it is full of lies.

I despise John Rolfe in that movie. Forget being historically inaccurate. He was just a boring as hell replacement of someone more interesting then him. Not to mention it’s idiotic to wanna care about historical accuracy after we already saw Pocahontas and John Smith make out. Even if Pocahontas 2 is mostly medicore aside from Pocahontas arc.
