Try to remain coherent, polite and put forward positive arguments if engaged in debate. There are plenty of places you can accuse people of being pedophilic communist sexist pigs; don't do it here.

This isn’t the only Disney movie with bad lessons. All the classic Disney films reinforce really stereotypical gender roles. Also, in most of the films the villains are ugly while the heroes and heroines are pretty and handsome.. Even when one of the heroes is supposed to be ugly (the Beast or the Hunchback), they in fact have facial proportions that are associated with good looks.
