MOORE: No, Amnesty International, Prince Charming’s Not A Pervert

Faith Moore

“No consent, no fairy tale.” This is the tagline of a video tweeted out last Friday by human rights group Amnesty International. The video depicts a fairy tale prince bending over to kiss a sleeping princess and then — while she’s still asleep — beginning to fondle her genitals. This leads to a stilted conversation with Archimedes the owl (from Disney’s The Sword in the Stone) and a random frog with a mustache about consent.

The video comes days after actress Kristen Bell — who played Princess Anna in Disney’s Frozencommented that she uses the story of Snow White to teach her daughters about consent. “Don’t you think that it’s weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission?” she asked.
