          Fifty years ago you could depict a romance without everyone assuming that they’re fucking.

          Simpler times, it was…

              Howso? Abstinence until marriage was more normal back then, and deviations from that norm were viewed as aberrations. It’s almost the opposite today.

              I guess I need to amend 50 years to 70+ years because it just dawned on me that 50 years ago was the '70s… in my mind “50 years ago” still means “1950s”…

              But still.

              Also, wasn’t the Beast’s curse broken by “true love’s first kiss”? So obviously they weren’t fucking because the movie ended right after their first kiss…

                  It’s not impossible to do otherwise, but generally a typical progression (especially for someone’s first time) involves kissing before fucking.

                  There’s really no basis to assume that Belle fucked the Beast in monster form…

        Real furry, fine

        Pretend furries in fursuits? That’s the 2020’s version of blackface. Y’all are going to have a difficult time once the real furries get political representation

            I think the furries have an illuminati like presence and power over the modern world.

            They control all our computer networks, security, and technology.

              Unfortunately, they don’t yet seem to understand that themselves - I so wish they’d band together to wield their collective power.

                Given how expensive fur suits are, I feel like most of them are secretly tech oligarchs but we just don’t know it because we never see their faces…

          What do you mean by real furry?

          Because as far as I know, every single furry is wearing a suit right now.

          And the beast was literally a monster-fied human being.

            It was my best attempt at a joke saying that the beast is a real person that will be coming for all the furries. Really hard to craft while remaining funny and not antagonistic but probably failed.

          Is that canon? I don’t think the film mentions her age.

          Are you just assuming that because she lives with family? You know that was the norm in the time period it’s set in, right?

              Youngest of 12 doesn’t mean she’s a child. That’s god awful logic.

              And “maiden” back then basically meant “virgin”, which could be almost any unmarried adult woman. There’s no implication that she’s a child.

              Mulan was Disney, do you want to try arguing that she was a child too? Even though she saw a matchmaker and joined the military?

        I wonder if they had a loveless, sexless marriage. Because ultimately…Belle just really wanted to ride the Beast, but would have been too ashamed to admit it.
