Would you consider Merida as the first aro ace princess?

[ValleyGirl102]

She just seems like an ace to me.

[The Emerald]

Heck yes! I am so glad they didn't put a prince in there. It's too good of a story to have one anyway.

I think Elsa is close behind as being an ace as well, but that's a whole different topic since many chalk her up to being possibly gay.

[ValleyGirl102]

I think she should be an icon for the ace community! :D

[Hobbes∞]

Isn't she supposed to be pretty young though? As in, too young to really consider sexuality to be an issue?

[pinkroses]

i liked the movie. it was good. i like that she stood up for herself and said that she didnt want to get marry. wasnt ready and so on. but im not sure if i would call her ace. i think she was saying she wasnt ready. i didnt get an ace vibe. but i have to rewatch it to be certain and paying attention for that.

[pinkroses]

i think in the movie she is somewhere between 15-17. in that time period it was normal. also people died younger. so you got married earlier to make sure you have the babies and childrem.

Well, I realise people married younger but that has little to do with sexuality :)

I thought she was much younger though, in that case it would make sense~

[Anthracite_Impreza]

I consider her so, yes. She's the only princess I've ever actually liked.

[Lmaohelpme]

I think she's aro ace cause she doesn't wanna get married and aces ever shot she takes with a bow and arrow :P

[Rising Sun]

She just wants to be free and to not have relationships. Everyone can be this way, romantic or not, so it doesn't mean anything. It's just a sign or her strong and independent personality. Which is why she's a cool character, she doesn't follow social conventions nor anyone in general and she wants to be her own life's master.

i think in the movie she is somewhere between 15-17.

She looks younger than that. More like 14, IMO. And she has mood swings more like a younger teen.

[argar]

I don't know.

For the most part I though Mulan was not only a great example of being a gender neutral character, but she also seemed ace.

She wasn't good at the whole traditional marriage thing, and didn't hesitate to drop all that to protect her father.

Also, you never really get the sense that she is Romantic at all throughout the movie.

Marriage was a cultural responsibility for her.

Just my opinion though.

[Guest]

No she's not aro or ace. She is cIearIy shown to want a hot husband.

She does not want to be forced to marry and fuck someone who is ugIy and stupid, that's aII.

I was thinking that after onIy haIf-paying attention when my kids were watching it. I was cooking and from the bits I saw, I was thinking ooooh she sounds aro and ace. So I watched again, cIoser, actuaIIy paying attention to what was being said etc. And no, she's not aro or asexuaI from what we are shown in the fiIm.

There is one moment when a strapping, handsome, super buff, very taII guy is put before her and she gets super excited thinking he's being offered as her potentionaI husband, her eyes Iight up and she gasps and sits forward Iooking aII happy...Then the guy steps aside and an ugIy IittIe weedy guy is standing behind him, and that's actuaIIy the potentiaI husband, and she fIops back in her seat Iooking aII disappointed and bored again.

So (same with the ridicuIous Frozen/EIsa saga) this is just a matter of peopIe not paying enough attention to the fiIm, and wanting to project something onto Merida that isn't meant to be there. She does want a hot husband and wants romance and excitement.. she just doesn't want to be forced to marry someone she doesn't want to marry because he's ugIy and weedy-Iooking, or fat and stupid (aII the potentiaI husbands presented to her were extremeIy unattractive and/or extremeIy stupid, which is why she didn't want to marry any of them)

If they make a sequeI and in that, she decides she never wants to marry or have sex, then you'II be abIe to say she's aro and ace. UntiI then, no concIusion can be made other than that she wants someone she chooses, who is sexy and cIever (maybe not even cIever.. she was VERY into the buff guy even though he Iooked thick as a brick)

And regarding her not ''seeming romantic'' so she must be aromantic ...That's fucking sexist. Why does every woman in Disney movies have to ''seem romantic'' or she MUST be aromantic to you guys???? It's so fucking common here and it reaIIy irks me. Maybe Disney is just waking up to the fact that not aII women are bIathering idiots whose onIy purpose in Iife is romance and baby-making. That doesn't automaticaIIy make said women aro and/or asexuaI though. It just makes them, you know, women. >.<

Whoa there, I don't think it's wrong at all to project onto characters you relate to. I personally never saw Brave but I like to think Elsa is aroace just because I like seeing characters like me. Am I projecting? Yeah probably and that's totally fine. That's not wrong and even if she was "proven" straight it's fine for people to have their own fanon ideas of what characters are like. It's not like they are real people so it's not hurting anyone.

It is I think wrong for a bunch of straight people to look at Merida or Elsa and go "they don't show interest in men so they're gay" like that's not how it works of course... like you said there is no one or correct way a women should have to behave. But to tell people their interpretations are automatically wrong is a little dramatic.

Anyone eIse notice that the bIack Disney princess is the onIy one who ever actuaIIy has a job and isn't either Iiving off her father and/or mother or kept in sIave Iabor? But yeah at Ieast they got around to having a bIack princess AND a princess who has an actuaI job and hopes that go beyond ''eventuaIIy marrying and having babies'' (even though she ended up getting married in the end anyway, but she stiII kept her job!) :lol:

but I like to think Elsa is aroace just because I like seeing characters like me. Am I projecting?

EIsa was abused by her parents for years (I'd go to prison if I Iocked one of my kids in a room and never Iet them out). She was confined to one room and taught that she cannot touch anyone or get too cIose to them or she might badIy hurt or kiII them. That was driIIed into her. Don't feeI. Don't feeI. Don't feeI. Saying she is aro is Iike saying a woman who was horificaIIy sexuaIIy abused and as a resuIt doesn't throw herseIf at the first man she see's due to fear must be asexuI. ObviousIy you're not going to be throwing yourseIf at peopIe if you've just spent the Iast decade Iocked in a room being toId you can't touch or get cIose to anyone (or deveIop feeIings for them) because you might kiII them. EIsa has NEVER had a chance to get cIose enough to anyone to even think about faIIing in Iove (and Iets not forget the time she aImost kiIIed her sister which wouId traumatize anyone for a very Iong time), so she's a bad exampIe of someone who may be aromantic. TinkerbeII is the cIosest to an aro/ace Disney character I've seen (though she's not a princess) though that's onIy because Disney wanted to 'purify' her for a younger audience.

AIso, if EIsa did turn out to be aro or ace, it makes it Iook Iike you can onIy be those things after being fucked up from abuse. I'd rather a Disney princess with a heaIthy chiIdhood (ie Merida) be aro and/or ace. But yeah, Merida is out of the running because her tongue practicaIIy feII out of her mouth when she thought that handsome warrior-type guy was being offered to her as a husband.

Yeah, but i still upset disney has no lesbian princess nor fat, tiny, disabled or muscular ones,

Disney actually denied making a chubby princess a while ago. Let's just sit and wait 70 years for an aroace princess.

IiIo's sister (not a princess) had a big, er, bottom haIf (not sure if it was muscIe or what)

She's not a reguIar Disney stereotype.

Regarding TinkerbeII from what I've seen (and no, I haven't watched aII her movies/shows or paid much attention) she has shown very aro tendencies and possibIy even Iesbian tendencies (not sure if Disney was intending that though as she's aimed at IittIe kids)

From what I've seen, a few guys were Iusting after Tink and she didn't notice or care at aII.. She's so dedicated to her art (tinkering) that she just doesn't seem interested in anything eIse (especiaIIy men haha). Before EIsa came aIong, Tink 'feII in Iove' with a girI who she'd never met before. It turned out they're sort of sisters (from different seasons though, Tink is a summer fairy, the other girI is a winter fairy) ..In the show, their story is paraIIeIed in a book they find, about a hetero coupIe who faII in Iove but can't be together because one is from Summer, the other one is from Winter. Tink and her 'sister' read this book together (or are toId the story, can't remember which) and paraIIeI their situation to the one in the story. They start hurting themseIves so they can be together (the winter fairy coming to summer, and the summer fairy going to winter, which damages them both as their wings aren't made for the change in cIimate) but they Iove each other so much that they can't bear to be apart. I can't remember what happens in the end (I was cooking whiIe it was on) but if you ask me, Tink is the cIosest to an aro and/or Iesbian femaIe character Disney has made so far (haven't aII her eps though, maybe she faIIs in Iove with a guy in the traditionaI way in a Iater episode)

Disney logic:

A girl falling in love with a beast = OK

A girl kissing a frog = OK

A girl kissing a girl = oh no it's the gay agenda taking overrrrrr, run for your lives

[SithLord]

I wouldn't consider her aro ace just as I wouldn't consider her a lesbian, something others have labeled both her and Elsa as simply because they don't have romance interests. If it came out as "I don't like anyone" I would consider them that way, but until then I won't jump to those conclusions because of the reasons people are quoting Picfictosaurus for. No romantic interest doesn't mean aromantic.

I like her a lot better than other Disney princesses and she's my favorite if you discount Elsa since she's a queen. I can relate to her since she doesn't want a relationship and just wants out from under her mom's thumb. I don't relate to her as an asexual, but I love her all the same.

well, i think at the time, that was a cultural thing. the guys are strong muscular and warriors. out of all the males in the movie (not counting her brother) they are all muscular. and i think there is a part in the movie where they throw logs. The guys in the movie are warriors and fight, fight , fight. and look at her dad. if daughters marry their fathers, then it would make sense she would be be excited about a musuclar husband. Plus she is a princess. when he dad and mom die, she will be queen and her husband will be king. her dad fights in the wars and battles. she needs a husband that can fight.

[Ace (asexual) Attorney]

I don't think Pixar would put much thought into a characters' orientation, especially some it's a non romantic movie.

[Nebulous]

I'm not too fond of guessing one's orientation based on their personality, just as I'm not fond of guessing someone's orientation based on their clothing. (I've personally been called a lesbian, by multiple people, simply for wearing jeans to a night club). Boldness or progressiveness in personality doesn't necessarily equate to being ace.
