Ummm Mulan? Jeez.
And, by extension, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Melinda May, aka The Cavalry.
Or, if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't Disney enough for you, Fennec Shand might do.
Genuine question is mulan an official Disney princess? It feels like they ate trying to kill the brand of late
The Disney princess lineup has always had some odd inclusions and exclusions. Mulan is considered a Disney princess^TM despite not actually having the title, as is Alice (some random girl), Pocahontas (chieftain's daughter, which I guess you can argue is a similar concept), Moana (see above), Mirabel (another random girl without a position of authority), Tinker Bell, Jane Porter (although she is a noble, which is at least similar) and Megara. (From Hercules, in case you also forget that movie existed)
Likewise, the lineup does not include Nala, despite actually possessing the title explicitly. (Is Disney racist against lions or something?) Nor does it include Eilonwy, though that's understandable considering The Black Cauldron flopped so hard it nearly tanked their animation department. It doesn't include any acquired properties either, so as funny as it is to lump Leia into the group, officially she doesn't count.
What’s this?
Phallic, is what that is.
Mommy
Will Pixar make a movie where cops have feelings?
It can start where a cop is abusing his wife. His routine of shooting black folks, he gets a call where school children need his help, but there's a gunman in there so maybe he might wait this out.
Well somewhere along this journey and after a fatal accident shooting a old woman in a wheel chair and getting suspended with pay, he wonders if there's more to life.
he gets a call where school children need his help, but there's a gunman in there so maybe he might wait this out.
But he has a moral dilemma because there's a queer book in the school library.
If you don't tell me everything there is to know about these first graders' pronouns and genitalia, the United States of America I know and love is dead and gone, dammit. Do you want the terrorists to win, or have you always been a gender-queer, socialist groomer?
Rated PG for some fart jokes, probably.
Columbia Pictures already did in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Needs to be anthropomorphic cop cars or something though.
It's hilarious. Mulan was literally a soldier who killed thousands of the enemy. How is she not enough for these people? What makes her so different from Snow White?
Notice what the girl in the picture and snow white has in common that Mulan does not? Same reason you won't see them post about Princess Tatiana open carrying either..
Also the princess in the picture open carried a frying pan, haha
You know the answer, she's not "white".
For more layers of ludicrousness from someone who knows a bit about guns:
The gun she is pictured with is basically almost exactly a modern Tavor X95 variant assault rifle.
There are some slight differences with the housing style, its got a very fancy after market suppressor on it, and it not using the standard sight, with an EOTech in its place.
Why do I mention all this?
Well the Tavor X95 is the assault rifle of the IDF.
And the minor differences here likely indicate the actual image is from some modern shooter game, where the changes to the housing would be made to be able to skirt around copyright law (whole thing in shooter games about having to fakeify real world guns a bit or actually liscense the ability to use the real gun names to avoid getting sued into oblivion), and the EOTech has replaced the stock sight basically because it is a common upgrade in basically any game with customizable weapons.
So, in its totality, the image here was made by a culture warring American video game nerd who nearly certainly wants their ideal Disney Princess to genocide Palestinians.
Hooray.
EDIT:
Upon further review, it may actually be, still a kind of videogameified version of an Israeli inspired design, but a different base weapon:
The IWI Tavor 7
So again the main difference from the actual existing weapon and the thing in the image is that the trigger guard / trigger housing has been replaced with an after market version that includes the little foregrip thing.
The reason why it may be closer to a Tavor 7 is the relative dimensions. The Tavor 7 is chambered in 7.62 x 51, whereas the X95 is 5.56 x 45. 5.56 rounds are smaller than 7.62 rounds and thus have smaller magazines.
What I think has happened here is this person scaled a Tavor 7 down to roughly the size of a Tavor X95. Tavor 7s are bulkier, bigger, heavier and have significantly more recoil than an X95.
The magazine size on the image doesn't have the right proportion to the rest of the rifle for it to be an x95.
The EOTech sight size is also too small for the scaling to make any sense.
This would also explain the cheek rest on the stock of the weapon in the image, which are generally more common on higher caliber rifles than on assault rifles.
If I correct about this, then the author of this image is also doing basically waifu fantasy dream type crap, because basically only an extremely well trained and very strong for her size female who is this skinny would possibly be able to shoot this thing accurately, consistently, in any position other than supported, ie, sitting down with the gun on a table or lying prone.
That or the person is into gigantism and the gun /is scaled correctly/ but disney princess is now huge.
And for the record I am a relatively skinny-armed guy: I can shoot an average 5.56 rifle just fine, but 7.62 rifles generally arefrankly too heavy and have too much recoil for me to be able to do more than supported shooting, or a few accurate shots before having to rest the rifle.
Back to the gym for me or whatever haha.
Ima need more reasonable gun people out here tearing fetishists porn to shreds, please. 😂
There are not many people that had the kind of life arc I have had:
Grew up poor in an exurb of a suburb. Only thing it had going for it was a good public school system.
Was raised on Rush Limbaugh on the radio anytime I was in a car as a kid. Went on a few camping and boating trips, got some decent outdoorsy type experience...
...But I was the only bright one in my family, who were constantly bickering and screaming, and I eventually just retreated into my room and lived on my computer.
Eventually went to college, got two degrees, realized basically everything about my fathers heavily imposed worldview was complete horseshit, other than enjoying nature when you can.
Long story short you end up with me, a bashful autistic dork who generally loves learning anything, who is fascinated by firearms on a mechanical and physics level, and also genuinely enjoys the zen of controlled breathing and body control required to make a precise shot, but is also aware of the serious problems they pose to American society, the perverse incentives of gun manufacturers and their political lobbying, etc.
On the flip side of that, the vast majority of COD and Halo playing assholes that claim they can do some crazy firearm related thing they can do in a video game... I can actually do some of the more realistic things irl, with more realistic kit.
A big thing that just totally escapes a lot of FPS players that think their video game experience is directly transferable to real life... is training and practice.
That and a lot of them are just laughably out of shape, and, unlike in video games, guns have /weight/.
I have been mulling over for quite a long time how to make a video game that more realistically conveys the culmination of many non obvious factors that play into using firearms, but the problem is that you basically always end up with something that is actually pretty hard to be skilled at, and because realistic gunplay results in more realistic conflicts, you soon realize that tactics and strategy are far, far more important and complex than most gamers or even most shooter games with AI are capable of.
Basically it wouldnt be fun, because it would be too difficult, and you often end up dying from a small, momentary situational awareness mistake.
Yow, TIL! This kind of encyclopedic knowledge of a topic is what I love about coming to Lemmy.
To be fair I did have to do research after getting stuck on the magazine size inconsistency, and ended up learning the Tavor 7 is even a thing.
So half encyclopedia, half I know how to look things up I guess.
But thanks for the compliment! =)
Not to detract from your novel or nothing, but I think that's a DesertTech MDRX Micron.
Could be thats the original base of what's in the image, but it would still need a bunch of aftermarket housing mods and tweaks and/or video gameification to actually match what's in the image.
I am still unable to find any stock bullpup rifle that generally matches the thing in the image but comes stock with the foregrip seemingly as part of the whole trigger housing / bottom half of the barrel housing as well.
The Tavor 7 still seems the closest stock match to me though as the MDRx barrel housing has cutouts and a flared end for better grip properties, but those are not in the image.
Granted, the stock Tavor 7 barrel housing features the flared grip as well, but not the cut outs.
???
What about the girl from Brave? Does open carrying a bow and quiver count?
I thought the exact same thing. As far as disney princess' go, she's pretty cool.
The lady from Wreck-it Ralph has a big gun
And she's one dynamite gal.
We have one already. Disney owns Star Wars now.
Rapunzel, she open carry a cast iron pan.
Leia carries a blaster
Deadpool is very upset that no one calls him a princess...
As of tomorrow, she'd be arrested the moment she steps into any public locale in California.
That could be the plot. She has to go to "the forbidden lands" without her crutch. She finds out the what the gun was giving her was in her the whole time and decides she no longer needs to open carry.
Disney should do it, and also have her be trans. No not really.
She has a gun and she's happy to see you!
Don't we already? What was her name, sergent Calhoun?
