Just days after Disneyland has reopened with an update to its Snow White attraction, the move is already receiving backlash. [SNIP] However, it's the "true love's kiss" grand finale between Snow White and her prince that is drawing scrutiny from the San Francisco Gate. "The new grand finale of Snow White's Enchanted Wish is the moment when the Prince finds Snow White asleep under the Evil Queen's spell and gives her "true love's kiss" to release her from the enchantment," the outlet writes. "A kiss he gives to her without her consent, while she's asleep, which cannot possibly be true love if only one person knows it's happening."

A tender kiss by a man to awaken an enchanted woman is problematic because no consent was granted. This, from a place where it's laudable for perverts to read twisted stories to preschoolers, and where someone who knowingly infects an unwitting men's room hookup with HIV is guilty of no crime. And here I thought they'd bemoan the lack of Coal Black to offset the whiteness.

The tragic irony of 'Someday My Prince Will Come' in the era of woke love. Without the 'problematic' kiss Snow White is condemned to undead stasis for eternity.

So I suppose it would be better to let her die than to wait for consent that would never come. Typical woke logic.

It's for the kids right ? Most of US are more worried about the country falling apart.

Why do I suspect that neither of the SF Gate writers -- both female -- are in any danger of being kissed by anything but a Tijuana donkey?

When Siegfried kisses a sleeping Brunhilda to wake her it's the first time either of them got into smooching. What is the woke way to awaken a sleeping beauty? Tickle her feet? I'd be much more worried about Snow White living with those seven midgets. What's up with that? At least Dopey made it to the White House.

The Prince didn’t need consent to wake up Snow White since he was her “true love.” Now if it was Biden, that would be a real #me-too problem!

If I woke up tomorrow and found out that I was a Lie-Beral, I would run outside and throw myself in front of the first bus I could find!!! I just couldn't live with being that insane!!!

If only a kiss will awaken Snow White, then what are you idiots moaning and groaning about? It's always something. Something lovely and genuine would make your liberal heads explode.

The supreme wokeness of Disney can't save them from the perpetually outraged. You gotta love it. In that other fairy tale the unfortunate frog will never be turned into a prince.

So, does this mean you need to get consent before performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a drowning victim? Asking for a friend.

Disney is woke and the wokeness will be their demise. Disney welcomed the PC thoughts and rules in their company, now live with it. People are too stupid for their own good, their thoughts are nutty, they will all have joyless, pathetic, angry lives.

This is too funny! But again, it is California! The people that are objecting to Snow White and her Prince must be a bit light in the Head. Jeesh! Let these Little Girls see the kiss. They don't know about all the other stuff these people are objecting to because they're LITTLE KIDS! And now they object to Song of the South! Who doesn't love Zip a Dee Doo Da and Bluebirds flittering about? I'm almost 80 and I still would watch at sweet movie! There are lessons to be learned in Disney movies if the " Woke" people would just keep their noses out of Disney's business!

Give me a break!!
The man THINKS he's kissing a corpse.
They are all shocked when she opens her eyes.
A kiss is a common greeting and farewell in Europe between both sexes.
Quit freaking turning EVERYTHING into SEX you perverted sociopaths!!!

#15, that Disney was in the past, when Walt was alive. This woke Disney puts out movies not fit for kids or adults. Do you think there could ever be another Bambi without some sort of perverts inhabiting the forest, or some madman going around slaughtering Thumper in the goriest scenes? That is the present face of Disney!

They worry about fiction, yet will turn around and vote for Clintoon ''better put some ice on that'', Cuomo ''you are old enough for me and I'm lonely'', and Biden ''come on, man, I heard you liked me'', ''You are nothing to me'', ''you're OK, you're fine''.
Just more evidence that the whole poundmetoo movement was nothing but politically biased garbage.

The "true love's kiss" is one of the most tender moments in any Disney movie.

Would the correct method be rubbing her shoulders while sniffing her hair and running his hand up her dress?

Maybe Hunter could blow some crack smoke in her face while he pleases himself as a group from Wakanda has their way with the seven white dwarfs. The white dwarfs have been keeping the black dwarfs away from the white sleeping beauty, proving that they’re all rayciss.

So...the one-sided kiss transforms a lifelong victim of human slavery, who happens to be in a perpetual, drug-induced coma, into the topmost member of the most privileged social caste of her day, and a lifetime of luxurious living...and that's a bad thing?
Speaking only for myself, had I been in a similar situation, I'd have eagerly consented for a significantly lower payout.

Some of us grew up with that story and thought it was sweet.
San Francisco Gate/San Francisco Chronicle? What do they know about it? Fools.

Instead of firing all your ammunition here, why don’t you contact the writers who came up with this nutso interpretation? Let them know what you think.
I clicked on each of their names and found this contact information:

No one has to give me consent to visit any Disney park, see any movie, or buy any Disney product. I just don't do it.

We might have known that Katie Dowd had a history.

I read the SF Gate article. The most sterile piece of leftist rubbish … These two biddies thought the ride was too scary for kids. The Snow White story was scary. When I saw the movie as a kid I was terrified. Part of the deal. That is when children learn the difference between fantasy and reality.
Read about Julie Tremaine. She is a freelance food and travel writer who writes for numerous publications, and she absolutely LOVES Disneyland. Writes a Disneyland Newsletter and is clearly crazy about the place. Thus, I have determined that Hillary’s Katie Dowd is the Grinch who found all the things to object to.
San Francisco and its media do not reflect California. Most of us view San Francisco as an alien place, not part of Real California. We haven’t been wrong yet.

In essence, each time I hugged or kissed every one of my children when they were babies is nothing more than an a toxic male's effort to control and subdue.

If Disney changes the scene to maybe Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, or Princess Jasmine kissing Snow White would it be ok then? As long as it not a Heterosexual White Male kissing the woman to save her life, a girl kissing a girl would probably be allowed these days without question. They would probably nominate Snow White for an Oscar for Best Animated Picture if they changed the ending to a girl on girl kiss. They should also make the Seven Dwarves (need to change that terminology also) into seven gay men living together in a communal safe space to make the movie acceptable.
