Don't forget that some, small minded people, might also think hey why does this guy think about rape so much? Haha well fucko its because I'm enlightened, poo poo eater, you motherfucker. To me, the search for occurences of rape in popular literature, films, and my specialty 1970s comic books, is a war and it won't end until everyone of you is dead

Uhh.. just because there's nothing in the original text to support that interpretation, nor is there any conceivable reason to be thinking about rape during a children's movie, and none of the writers or people associated with the film or story in any way has said anything even remotely close to this scene being about rape doesn't make it the movie's fault that you're too much of a retard to understand subtlety.

it's pretty funny how much cruft people add on top of "stop thinking about kid's movies" as though they're more convincing when they start widening things to include actual high literature as collateral damage

"the author never said this" includes the waste land (eliot only ever wrote what was misdirection), ulysses, remembrance of things past, shakespeare, and in fact 90% of all worthy novels. the author explaining the meaning rarely happens.

Therefore, rape occurs in all of these works because *faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart*

Your post is literally words but the subtext is *faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart*

Edit:

By that I mean: You post a bunch of nonsense, which has little to no literary or intellectual contribution, which you then squat and squeeze out into this thread. But you try and pass it off as a novel interpretation of some piece of art. In reality, your post is doing exactly what the lovely article from the mentally ill writer in the OP was doing, which is making GBS threads out a clickbait article of zero literary value in the attempt to get people upset about something.

So yes, your subtext is *faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart*.

amazingly, your willingness to seriouspost disappears as soon as it isn't just reiterating the events of the film.

basically its an emotional reunion of two childhood lovers, they reconnect in the aftermath of a pg battle between their respective people and then suggestively drift to sleep in one another's arms. the camera then zooms onto a bottle and it is revealed that maleficent was drugged and the guy isn't actually asleep. he makes as if to kill her, but wusses out and can't do it. he then looks at her wings and the camera cuts out. she wakes up wingless and cries before turning evil. he uses the wings, instead of her head which the king requested, to claim to the throne.

since the entire rest of the movie has themes of betrayal and bitterness and the existence of true love its kind of dumb to imagine that one scene is a rape metaphor, rather than a literal betrayal by a lover that sets up the remainder of the movie.

if it is a rape metaphor, why? whats that saying? and what is it doing in a movie that doesnt otherwise reference, explicitly or metaphorically, sexual dynamics or sexual violence or abuse? what is the corresponding meaning when she gets her wings back? how come the rapey nature of the bad guy is never referenced in any other way, whereas the betrayal and his descent into greed and paranoia is a recurring theme?

i guess what im saying is im gay

It could be said that the universal theme running through all great fiction is implied rape.

If we interpret enough media as rape metaphors rapists will eventually feel bad about all the rapes.
