It’s a stupid issue. Disney is a private company. They can do whatever they like with Minnie. The market can determine whether it was a good idea or not. It isn’t worth the time that Fox News spent on it. It sure as hell isn’t worth the outrage. We can all live a long healthy and happy life regardless of what she wears. Again, if this is the only thing conservatives have to complain about, we live in utopia. Unless, they talk about this because their ideas are so unpopular that they do not want to talk about real issues

I think we found Candices target audience. So if we evil liberals have this power can we demand Mickey and Donald get a dress? I feel like there are so many better ways to outrage people than a female character in pants. This isn't 1950 people. Fox Network and other many other conservative mouthpieces went trump-shit crazy when President Obama wore a tan business suit.

Soft core points actress as First Lady that's cool she's white.

Soft core points actress as First Lady that's cool she's white. Because she was a tall athletic looking black woman. I liked her style. Melania was probably seen by some GOP supporters as a deserved trophy wife if you are rich enough. MO.

Figures you'd choose to go there. In reading her origin story, Micky Mouse was a borderline sexual harasser in the beginning towards Minnie. How about Micky is a cheater, into Goofy, and she's dressing businesslike to support herself after the divorce from Micky.

Of course not..... and the same works vice versa. Nobody should feel less of a woman for any reason at all. That would be difficult, I have never heard of her ......... and you can't put any labels on me since I don't even live in the US. Probably why, whenever I say something remotely debatable ........ this little posse appears and leaps in to action without remotely trying to understand what I'm saying. I can't believe I'm saying this but ...... Has Donald duck changed his jacket? Mickey Mouse changed his shorts? .......... Goofy? or whoever the others are? Why is it only Minnie Mouse who has to be gender non binary?.....or have a wardrobe change for "marketing" purposes? Anyway, I have had enough of this..... Do what you want

Do what you want Spellbound this is why I jump in. Your thoughts are inconsistent. Pick a lane. Minnie Mouse as marketed is still a 100% female mouse and Mickey's mate. I hope you noticed the two Mickey outfits posted for marketing purposes. The latter most likely was for some Pirates of the Caribbean event.

I have..... but think they mean different things to the both of us. Kind of lost in translation.
I'm not a fan of cancel culture...... but it doesn't have a a Liberal or Conservative connotation for us.... its more extreme Left.... ie Maoism/Marxism
All of our political parties are to the left of both of yours. So the spectrum isn't the same.
I tend not to comment on political issues for the US since..... I don't have a vote and its none of my business.
but these kind of post modernist notions are present here too. (with little support)
It in no way means we are against equality and I have been supporting women's rights all my life.

It's one outfit in a series to celebrate the 150th anniversary. Sorry that seems to so offend you. Never fear she'll go back to her conservative approved dress when the anniversary is over.

I thought women were naturally entitled to have different outfits. What the heck is with the fuss?

You want an American founded company, celebrating an event in the fashion capitol of France, to do what you want? Because ... polka dots and dresses? Because you aren't attached to the original 20's style flapper dress? Yet I'm supposed to think you are for females wearing things that are not dresses cuz you said so? Not working for me. Most male babies in this country and I think royals wear a baptismal gown for baptism.

Kids around the world may have no real attachment to Minnie's 80s style dress and bow.
Japan China Argentina
etc.
These are all very different places. Japan may get the bow cuz Anime, but you don't denote female with red and bows in China.

If any of these people watch Disney Junior they will be quite horrified. Minnie AND Daisy wear pants quite often especially in Roadsters. Disney is trying to brainwash our youth!

What reasoned points? Disney didn't take away Minnie's dress, nobody demanded she not wear it. Nobody was demanding equality or whatever it was you claimed is the reason she's wearing the suit. It is an outfit that won a contest to celebrate the anniversary of the park. The designer won the contest. Are you arguing no outfits with pants should have been allowed to enter? Should Disney have told the designers you have to make a polka dot dress because we cannot risk offending a very small group of people? What exactly did Disney France do wrong? Minnie changes her outfit ALL THE TIME. I spent 8 years of my life I'll never get back watching Disney Junior on repeat Minnie wears pants on a fairly regular basis. This is just the first time you're seeing it and able to get outraged by it.

Again, who gives a shit. It is a non-issue. Disney can do whatever the hell it wants with Minnie’s outfit. They want to make Manet. Nothing else to it. You are arguing an irrelevant point

Candace Owens and Her Beef With Minnie Mouse's New Look
On this week’s episode of ‘What Grinds Candace Owens’ Gears’, we focus our lens on a well known character, loved by children of all ages for decades, Minnie Mouse. Ah, yes, Minnie Mouse. The fictional rodent recognizable by her big bow, polka-dotted dress, and court day pumps. That is of course, up until now. In honor of its 30 year anniversary, Disneyland Paris announced that Minnie would be getting a new fit for the occasion. Stella McCartney has designed an ink blue patterned pantsuit to be worn by the individual playing the character at the park during the festivities, and Candace Owen’s right wing heart is terribly bent out of shape because of it. “This is why people don’t take these people seriously,” Owens cried out on Fox News. “They’re trying to destroy fabrics of our society pretending that there’s issues.” Now I don’t typically make it my business to keep up with the fashions of make-believe mice, but I have to say that two piece design is a fly new look for my girl Minnie, and functional too! Who wants to parade around 5,000 acres of land all day in a stiff dress with snotty kids trying to get a peek at your bloomers?! Not I. After all, the suit is to be worn in March in acknowledgment of Women’s History Month, but Candace seems to think this is more of an intentional political strategy. Apparently, “they” are using Minnie Mouse in Paris to distract Americans from the fact that, according to Owens, “you can’t get anything at the grocery store and you can’t buy a piece of bacon unless you’ve got $30 in your pocket!” Look, inflation is real, but I have a hard time believing that our good sis Minnie Mouse is being deployed as a diversion tactic. Fox News has had a lot of fun lately citing children’s characters as markers of faux cultural shifts. Primetime host Tucker Carlson stated on air last week that the famed M&Ms characters were being made less sexy to the point that “you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them.” Meanwhile I had no clue that you could swipe left or right on talking candy coated chocolates, but do you boo! Again, there are many more things to be conscious of in today’s society besides the chosen styles of cartoon characters, but it’s not new news to see them undergo a makeover. You might recall a certain swine by the name of Miss Piggy. From Muppet Show starlet to style icon, designers have literally clamored over styling this fuzzy pig since the early 90s! From Vivienne Westwood to Marc Jacobs to Prada, Mrs. Kermit the Frog has kept the girls gagging for years. So I hate to break it to Candace, but this type of brand partnership is nothing new, and certainly no need to clutch those conservative pearls. Candace Owens and Her Beef With Minnie Mouse's New Look

I happened to watch several vlogs on YouTube from AJ Wolfe called Disney Food Blog. AJ abs her team put out a daily vlog about tips for efficiently visiting Disney. The vlog prominently features scenes from the Disney parks.
I made a note to check out Minnie’s outfit every time she was shown. She had on a different outfit for each one, and a few were pant suits. Not one did I see her iconic red polka dot dress.
As far as Disney doing this to take our mind off inflation, I don’t even know how to address it. That’s one if the stupidest fucking statements I’ve heard in a long time.

um.....yeah. that is precisely what YOU are doing.
