That's debatable. For example Ariel trades her ability to talk so she can use her body to impress a man. Academics usually consider the strong female character to be Ursula, and she's depicted as unattractive and then brutally murdered with a ship.
- kcplate 3y ago> the strong female character to be Ursula, and she's depicted as unattractive and then brutally murdered with a ship. She’s literally the villain character in a fairytale cartoon who is based on a witch character that was written almost 200 years ago. Seems like the depiction is appropriate to the character trope. How many fairytale witches get the pretty face and happy ending?
