Kristen Bell's Attack On Snow White Is Sickening

No one can rewrite history, so let's stop trying.

What ever happened to discussing your political views with other individuals being considered rude? Or prying to figure out where they might stand being deemed as intrusive?

Nowadays, people offer their opinions openly. However, many struggle to convey their own opinions without discrediting the validity of others'.

Celebrities are using their power to push political stances and reasoning onto those who choose to engage in their various platforms of media, and anytime someone famous decides to make a statement; it is out there for the world to interpret, and they know that. I mean, it is freedom of speech, right?

Recently, there has been scuttle about Taylor Swift coming out as an extreme leftist that will do anything she can to discourage voters from promoting Marsha Blackburn, a woman running for Senate in Tennessee.

In her Instagram post, Swift states, "As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values."

Do I agree with Taylor Swift politically and the picture that she is painting of Marsha Blackburn? Absolutely not. However, Swift's commentary is the bare minimum. By taking a public stance on political issues, you simultaneously lose and gain fans.

There are undoubtedly risks that are associated with going public about political ideologies, especially given the modern polarized world we are living in.

Conservatives may stop listening to Taylor, as many Liberals quit supporting Kanye West after he went public in supporting President Donald Trump.

I am not here to argue that stating your opinion is wrong by any means. However, there are celebrities taking it much farther than it needs to go, such as actress Kristen Bell.

According to the article, "Kristen Bell says "Snow White' kiss sends a controversial message about consent" by Christian Gollayan, Bell has made a private conversation that she has chosen to have with her children public.

Bell is quoted saying, "Don't you think that it's weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you cannot kiss someone if they are sleeping!"

This is downright ridiculous, and I am absolutely appalled to be a member of the world we are living in and further destroying today.

It is a CHILDREN'S book for crying out loud. Yes, consent is of the utmost importance... but was this comment really necessary? I look at it as an extremely sad attempt to be a relevant celebrity again.

The entire purpose of Snow White is for children to get wrapped up in the fairytale princess aspect of it, and no child should be forced to grow up questioning every little thing that may or may not be considered politically correct in this world of snowflakes that we have all become.

I mean, seriously, this story has been around for ages... the timing is impeccable. What is next? Are we going to blame Donald Trump for this, too?

I am disgusted by the angle that Kristen Bell decided to take here, insinuating a "lack of consent" in a German fairytale, famously turned into a Disney film in 1938. It has been eighty years; let it go and move on.

Enough is enough, and for the last time; NO ONE can rewrite history, so stop trying. The efforts are exhausting and embarrassing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
