Why didn't Rapunzel start distrusting Mother Gothel's manipulative behavior sooner than she did?
But these all bother me.
Also, I almost picked the Cinderella one, but I always just figured that she was just so happy (or tired, she was up until midnight and probably had to be up early to do chores) and forgot. A stretch probably, but that was what I always figured.
I think Belle was perfectly considerate to the townspeople, though! In the opening song, she smiles and chats to them. Heck, she tries to talk to the baker but he's not interested! Just because she has "her nose stuck in book", doesn't mean she's being "inconsiderate" to the people who are talking about her behind her back. The only person she's really "rude" to is Gaston, but he's pretty rude to her so not much blame there.
Also, @Wavesurf ^, Rapunzel didn't start distrusting Gothel earlier because Gothel was a textbook emotional manipulator. She manipulates Rapunzel into trusting her by doing "nice" things for her - like going on a long journey to get her paint and making her favourite soup - so that when she's awful - like basically calling Rapunzel fat in song ("plus, I believe/gettin' kinda chubby), that "oh, you're here too" in front of the mirror, little jabs like that as well as refusing to let her leave the tower - and Rapunzel gets mad at her, she can counter it with "don't make me the bad guy, I do so much for you" and Rapunzel feels guilty for thinking bad of her, because that's true, isn't it? "She travelled all that way to get me those paints, she must be doing a lot for me, I guess I'm being unfair." This gaslighting is a tactic real emotional abusers use; I don't really think we can fault Rapunzel for not realizing sooner.
This was a really good, interesting poll, though. I really love these kinds of "unpopular opinion"-type polls. I might do one of my own in the future, I'm unsure.
Tiana has this attitude in general that she's better than Naveen - and pretty much everyone else - because she believes she works harder than them. But if she had been raised with Naveen's privilege who knows what she would be like? idk, it just bugs me that she never really acknowledges that they're both very much products of their circumstances.
Also yeah, Belle totally looks down on the rest of the village
I'm going to talk about Ariel because i picked her. She KNEW Ursula was a sea witch. She knew the dangers of Ursula based on the history between her and her kingdom but still made a reckless decision. Yes she didn't know the extent of Ursulas plan, but she should've known not to trust her, as of her reputation. Rapunzel didn't know a thing which is why I don't see Rapuznel trusting Gothel as a flaw.
Also Snow White. Same case as Ariel's. And about Rapunzel, I agree with coolsinger198.
@Disnerdtobe: Being the one who "failed" to see the warning signs of the abuser, is really painful. And taken that support groups and therapy always teach you the warning signs after the fact when the damage has already been done...is even more humbling to the victim. It's like the "blinders" fall off and you weren't even aware how blind you were. Yes, I'm glad Rapunzel had the resilience to bounce back from it. But I do wish, just as I wished for myself, that I could have recognized this vicious pattern sooner. It was a flaw in myself, because I knew something was wrong all along. I could have acted sooner and perhaps learned how to mitigate my role in the proceedings. From my perspective, having lived this Rapunzel could have acted sooner, too.
The only thing of note, would be that by taking away Rapunzel's naivety--- there would simply be no movie. It's the same deal with Ariel, Snow White, and a bunch of the other princesses.
And that's a good point about Rapunzel. Why is she the only one consistently NOT on these lists? If she was I'd probably pick her deceiving Gothel while acknowledging how immoral lying is. One thing I can't stand is going back on your own morals, especially while you claim to be the one in the right. Besides that, you could just list how she wastes her time and effort traveling to Corona and never finds out who does the lantern thing.
It doesn't bother me that Rapunzel deceived Gothel because it was her one way to escape her tower and gain the freedom she'd needed for so long - Gothel had just screamed at her that she could never ever leave the tower, after all. She found out from Eugene who did the lantern thing, if I remember correctly, while he was lying on his face in her tower... and she went to Corona in order to witness the release of the lanterns.
