Good people of the internet, today we’ll be telling you why the animated “Beauty and the Beast” is one of the most screwed up movies ever!<\/p>\n

Why? Because you deserve it, that’s why!<\/p>\n

The thing is, when we watched it as kids, it had a profound impact on us. After all, it’s a fairy tale and who doesn’t like the bright and colorful lights and beautiful animation of a fairy tale as a kid?<\/p>\n

But when you watch the movie as an adult, you realize a couple of things.<\/p>\n

What are those things? What are the revelations? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n

We’ll Start With Belle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"We'll

Yes, she’s an asshole!<\/span><\/p>\n

She acts so holier-than-thou all the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

She Sings Rude Songs About Her Neighbors Like They Can’t Even Hear Her<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Really, She’s Very Condescending!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Really,<\/p>\n

Belle CLAIMS she wants more than the Prince’s ~provincial life~ and then becomes a princess in a big empty castle in the middle of nowhere. <\/span><\/p>\n

She Sold Out All Her Values for a Man!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"She<\/p>\n

Next Up: The Beast<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Next<\/p>\n

He’s a top-grade royalty asshole.<\/p>\n

As a Prince, He Was Selfish and Vain. He and All His Friends Are Put Under a Curse LITERALLY Because of How Terrible He is<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"As<\/p>\n

So what does he do to reverse that curse? He abducts a woman and holds her hostage until she falls in love with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fucked Up!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Fucked<\/p>\n

Then We Have the Enchanted Objects \u2014 Lumi\u00e8re, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts \u2014 and Yes, Even Chip!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Then<\/p>\n

All assholes!<\/p>\n

If They Really Gave a Fuck About Belle, They’d Let Her Escape<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"If<\/p>\n

Source: BF<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Instead, they trick an innocent woman into falling in love with a monster-man, so they can be freed from a curse. Do these people have no moral compass?<\/span><\/p>\n

Next Up is Maurice!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Next<\/p>\n

Yup, Asshole!<\/p>\n

Just Look at His Guilt-Ridden Face!<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Just<\/p>\n

Maurice started this whole mess by trespassing on private property. That’s breaking and entering, dude!<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Believe Maurice is Responsible for His Wife’s Untimely Death<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Some<\/p>\n

Source: BF<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Plausible, eh?<\/p>\n

And Finally, We Have the Villains. Needless to Say, They’re All Assholes<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

Gaston is a sexist pig, Le Fou is complicit as well, yada yada. This one’s obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every Single Character in This Film Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look in That Magic Mirror <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Except for the Stepstool-Dog. He’s cool. He can stay.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
