Publish Not your original work? Add source Lots of us grew up with Disney stories and they're an inseparable part of our childhood. However, some people believe that these tales have a negative impact on young women because they contain harmful gender stereotypes. A dad is going viral on TikTok and the news for updating and modernizing his daughter's Disney books to better reflect the times we live in and to make life better for both of his girls. The Minnesota dad, who has two daughters and goes by the tag @dcaspers on TikTok, filmed the entire process and uploaded the videos for everyone to see. He changed classic fairy tales like The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and others, giving them twists nobody could have expected. His actions, however, have divided the internet and sparked a fiery discussion online. While some lauded the dad for reworking gender tropes into something more egalitarian and realistic, others thought that what he's doing might amount to censoring classics for the sake of appearing progressive. Check out the dad's videos below and let us know what you think of his project, dear Pandas. Are you fans of his reworked stories or do you prefer the classics? Do you think we should aim to constantly update older works of literature or should we simply aim to publish new and modern stories? Share your thoughts in the comments.

OK, so we have Theodores vote that a 31 years old man making out with a 14 years old girl and then marrying her is fine and that people who think that it's problematic are "Karens" with a "tiny brain". Just for the record: Yes, I too think that A 31 YEARS OLD MAN FIRST MAKING OUT WITH AND THEN MARRYING A 14 YEARS OLD GIRL is kinda problematic. 0 0points reply JessRS JessRS Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago WHERE has it ever been stated, in a trustable source, that Prince Florian was 31 years old? and don't bring a shitty Reddit post as the source, please. 8 8points reply Lillukka79 Lillukka79 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Where in the Disney movies are the ages even mentioned? 7 7points reply Lutz Herting Lutz Herting Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago giphy-33-6...4f2f03.gif 3 3points reply Jessica LanSpe Jessica LanSpe Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago @Lilukka79......I was going to say the same EXACT thing.

Either way, it's disturbing. 0 0points reply fuggnuggins fuggnuggins Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago (edited) @Lutz - Context. It's a several hundred year old story. Meaning, a) you're retrogresively judging earlier time periods by standards that didn't exist, and b) not just earlier time periods but FICTION written in earlier time periods, and c) not just fiction written in an earlier time but CARTOONS BASED ON FICTIONS that were written in earlier times, and d) not just cartoons based on fictions written in earlier times but F*****G REEEEEEEES REEEEEEEED ON SOCIAL F*****G REEEEEEEEDIA BY PEOPLE WITH OBVIOUSLY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORTH SAYING OR BETTER TO DO than to reeeee to strangers their feelings of utterly hopeless futility and personal inadequacy as projected upon cartoons based on fictions written in earlier times and disguised as claims of questionable validity even without being couched in utterly idiotic absurdity. "Members of a species perpetuating the species and fulfilling their obligation to their biological urges in times when survival was far from guaranteed, by obvious means, several hundred years ago is problematic today." Brought to you by the same people who brought you "social construct" and "religion of peace". From the iron age to the age of irony, the dark age to the age of unenlightenment, it's like full circle but a bit dented and twisted and bent and out of shape. Doesn't quite articulate. You're a dark age unto yourself. Let's see how far you can keep pushing the boundaries of puerility. There's a f*****g purpose worth pursuing. Next up you might publicise your outrage of the acceptance of inter-species relationships such as that which has occurred between a woman and a rodent as expressed in a certain Sonic the Hedgehog game. How about violence in video games? Satan worship in rock and roll? Maybe scream at a neolithic rock painting. F*****g looney tunes. Get a f*****g life. 3 3points reply Chloe *Leah* Pheonix Chloe *Leah* Pheonix Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago (edited) Seriously! I agree with this 110%!

Several hundred years ago? Illegal in what context? Fiction? That's the time and context of this "relationship". It's a made up claim, about a made up f*****g story, which was written in a time when such things still wouldn't even have been seen as entirely objectionable. Could you have a sillier objection? It's like objecting to the moon orbiting the Earth, or objecting to the sky being blue. Worse. It's like objecting to something brought up in a discussion about whether Batman or Superman would win in a fight. Do you sit and watch cartoons and point out all the logical fallacies and contradictions to physics, too? Joining cults is silly.

Fed-Up Dad Censors Outdated Gender Stereotypes In Daughter’ s Disney Books
Jonas Grinevičius andMindaugas Balčiauskas
Publish Not your original work? Add source Lots of us grew up with Disney stories and they're an inseparable part of our childhood. However, some people believe that these tales have a negative impact on young women because they contain harmful gender stereotypes. A dad is going viral on TikTok and the news for updating and modernizing his daughter's Disney books to better reflect the times we live in and to make life better for both of his girls. The Minnesota dad, who has two daughters and goes by the tag @dcaspers on TikTok, filmed the entire process and uploaded the videos for everyone to see. He changed classic fairy tales like The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and others, giving them twists nobody could have expected. His actions, however, have divided the internet and sparked a fiery discussion online. While some lauded the dad for reworking gender tropes into something more egalitarian and realistic, others thought that what he's doing might amount to censoring classics for the sake of appearing progressive. Check out the dad's videos below and let us know what you think of his project, dear Pandas. Are you fans of his reworked stories or do you prefer the classics? Do you think we should aim to constantly update older works of literature or should we simply aim to publish new and modern stories? Share your thoughts in the comments.

dcaspers Report Final score: 38points POST Aamna Shah Aamna Shah Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago I think Cinderella is unfortunately oversimplified to make it regressive. If you look at the movie objectively, it's clear that Cinderella is a young girl who lives in an era where she probably has extremely limited choices. She has lost her father as a kid and is living with her abusive step mom and step sisters. Like most victims of abuse, her mind is in survival mode and she knows that she has to stay obedient in order to protect herself in that environment. Cinderella herself is not subservient. Her abusive environment demands that from her to survive. We see that she does speak her mind from time to time. Another thing people forget is that Cinderella was not asking for a man or begging to become a princess. Her dream was to escape her abusive household. In my opinion, and everyone is allowed to disagree with it, she's a victim of child abuse and blaming her for not leaving is not much different from modern society blaming women for not leaving their abusive husbands. 106 106points reply View More Replies... View more comments Naturally, quite a lot of people were pleasantly surprised by the 'fairy godfather's' project and literary makeovers, calling him the 'best dad ever' and praising his fight against gender stereotypes for the sake of his two daughters. However, others were more skeptical and some believed the dad may have gone too far in his quest for gender equality. Some internet users were concerned that the dad was setting a potentially dangerous precedent about editing out everything we don't like in books. Meanwhile, others pointed out that the dad's updates may not be consistent with how the characters in these stories would behave. #4Cinderella Heads To The Ball And Finds Her Prince Charming Now Adding Diversity To Disney Cinderella Goes To The Ball And Finds Her True Love

View more comments I previously spoke at length about gender stereotypes and the need for equality at home with Elizabeth Arif-Fear, the founder and director of 'Voice of Salam.' "A woman should not be expected to be responsible for the home just because she is a woman. A couple needs to discuss chores based on working hours outside of the home and any other caring responsibilities that affect schedules and workloads," she told Bored Panda during an interview. "If both partners are working full-time then they should be sharing the housework equally. Sadly, research shows that women still do more housework than men even when working. On a practical level, if a couple is committed to an equal level of partnership, drawing up a chore timetable can be useful, as can designating roles by working out who does what based on their likes and strengths," she said. #6Ariel Changes Her Body Leaves Her Friends And Family And Now She s Baking All For Him Instead Of Baking Ariel Orders A Pizza While The Prince Eats His Pizza With A Fork She Finds Her New Love In Tiktok

"They are a symptom of sexism. In such a relationship, both partners are not equal. No woman should be expected to work two full-time jobs-one paid and one at home-while her able-bodied husband sits back and does nothing at home. In today's world, looking after the home and/or children is a full-time job in itself and such work needs to be shared. Families often have to rely on two incomes and women have the right to pursue professional goals-something which their spouse should encourage as part of an equal partnership," she told Bored Panda. #8Bakes Cakes And Cokies And Feeds Her Prince Sorry Prince Make Your Own Damn Nachos

As working patterns have shifted with the economy in the past decades, outdated sexist attitudes also need to shift. A women's role is where she wants to be-just like a man's. It's not her job to pick up or look after male relatives/spouses. If she chooses to stay at home as the family is financially able to manage on one wage, that must be the couple's joint decision. Even then, there must be mutual respect, sharing of responsibility, and a fair equitable division of chores."Some people thought the dad reworking the classic Disney stories was inspiring
However not everyone agreed with his modern approach to popular children s books

It's like objecting to something brought up in a discussion about whether Batman or Superman would win in a fight. Do you sit and watch cartoons and point out all the logical fallacies and contradictions to physics, too? Joining cults is silly. Why are you so silly? 3 3points reply 13 13 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 11 months ago Good on you for trying but wrong crowd.

Click here to view. sure buddy !! very informative reply. any other method to argue except insulting others ? any actual fact ? any valid point ? that kind of wording says a lot more about you than it does about me. and if you need to belittle or doubt other people's intelligence to try winning an argument ... maybe you should start working on your insecurities. trying to put others down won't make you more valuable -9 -9points reply More Thinking Needed More Thinking Needed Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Hate when parents use their children as props in the hopes of becoming internet-famous for 15 minutes. 96 96points reply Stefan Stefan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Stop changing what is already done and written, and start making something new ! 75 75points reply Romenriel Romenriel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Yes!

If this dad really cared about bringing down gender stereotypes why wouldn’t he actually create real art in the way of perhaps writing a new story that features a strong female or male protagonist and characters from diverse backgrounds? 4 4points reply Allen Lavine Allen Lavine Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago That's crazy seeing how Disney took there story from other people -1 -1point reply 13 13 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 11 months ago You are a voice for the future. Why are we adapting old stories when we could be discovering new ones? 3 3points reply Raven DeathShade Raven DeathShade Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Exactly! I was temporarily working on a book called "the Hand-Sewn Albatross", a story about a girl raised by two fathers who grows up with her best friend, who made her a toy albatross when they were little. He and she are best friends, and remain just that throughout the book. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil it in the event that I finish it XD. 0 0points reply Ezigma Ezigma Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago EXACTLY!!!! 0 0points reply Allen Lavine Allen Lavine Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago But Disney didn't write these stories they just made changes to them so he's doing exactly what they did -1 -1point reply Abhinc Abhinc Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago This comment is hidden.

And I read some of the originals tales (ok, looong time ago). If anybody is not satisfied with thenm, don't watch or read them to your kids. 4 4points reply Load More Comments Popular on Bored Panda I Used AI To See What These 23 Popular Cartoon Characters Would Look Like In Real Life 30 Y.O.
