kida-tiana: nicasdream: kida-tiana: eye-melt-with-you: kida-tiana: Some Animated Women of Colour: Princesses + Queens where the FUCK is Pocahontas??????? Chill out. Pocahontas/Matoaka wasn’t ever a princess. Her father was a chief and her tribe was democratic – basically she was the daughter of an elected government official. That may be historically true except we all know the Disney version of Pocahontas isn’t anywhere near historical. Also, Pocahontas is included in the official Disney princess line-up. Idk but that seems like erasure to me @nicasdream Yes, I know that the Disney version is an awful re-telling of actual historical events but even in the movie Pocahontas is still the adult daughter of a chief, she was never a princess. This gifset was supposed to highlight women who are of royal lineage through birth or marriage. The official Disney princess line-up which is used for marketing purposes (which I’ve posted before) is irrelevant in this case otherwise I would have included Mulan as well. Erasure would be ignoring the movie and the governing system of Pocahontas’ tribe in favour of forcing a textually incorrect and offensive title upon her since the “Indian Princess” myth is racist (google it). -- source link
