Why is this Disney Princess Twitter meme so damn funny? Disney should thank the public for delivering such a fruitful brainstorm on what the next princess should be and I hope it takes on some suggestions.

The meme format can be traced back to comedian Sofie Hagen’s tweet from back in September. She called for a fat Disney Princess, making a very fair criticism of the lack of body diversity among the princesses so far.

It’s true Disney has historically delivered impossibly thin and traditionally beautiful princess characters. There have been some improvements but not a super impressive amount of progress.

Damn those princesses. They are too perfect and they are cocky about it.

We get it Snow White you’re hot.

While the need for more diverse female characters in children’s movies is a real issue, we deal with these things the only way we know how: humour and memes. Now the good people of Twitter have revisited Hagen’s sentiment and taken the Disney princess aspirations to some wild places.

Like this:

And this:

Give them flaws! It’s relatable!

Make them insufferable!

Make them ruthless

Make them fucking gross…?

Make sure they know what’s up tho

Then things just completely derailed

…into needing a Disney Princess who can name that song reference.

The moral of the story is, we need more diverse female protagonists from Disney, and we need the internet taken away from us.
