What about a plus sized princess that's disabled in a wheel chair, with diabetes, is terminally ill, and interested in STEM? You've got it all covered then!

Brimley pronounces it "diabeetus." There are videos spoofing and making songs out of it all over YouTube. For example:

Then it is time for you to learn to use the ignore function that this forum offers you OR get a little thicker skin.
It's part of an online community that you will always have someone that disagrees with you....no matter what.
Get use to it...embrace it...work with it

Given your past threads and how they've turned out and the reputation you've earned, good luck keeping things positive. Saying you don't want to fight and this and that... You've just opened the doors...
It's all on how you react. You've proven that your "my way or the highway" mentality on topics doesn't bode well. When you get a response that differs from that of your own, well... It's not handled well...

Do you think it's an accident that they came out with an African American princess, an Asian princess, Native American princess… The reasons behind the OP's ideas are no different.
I don't necessarily feel strongly about it either way, but they have every right to discuss it.

Role models are important for kids. It is important that they see that they are valuable, that they are normal, despite some minority condition.
Although I am torn between that, and understanding that Disney displays fairytale women. Even 'normal' girls do not resemble a Disney princess at all. (And just as well!) They are idealised, cartoonish representations.

It's a discussion forum. Not everyone is going to have the same magical outlook as you. Accept it, or search for other online environs....

Myself I suffer from too good lucks, a gorgeous body and hyperintelligence. What those familiar with DSM-IV would call narcissism (shame on them - can't help it that I really am all of those!). So it would greatly help me to love myself even more if there were a Princess Narcis.
Wait, make that two, like in Frozen, it would take at least two princesses to display my lengthy list of abnormally outstanding qualities.

Well actually....
Research...it's what's for dinner
Yeah, that's not preventing type one diabetes. That's preventing some of the complications, or holding them off as long as you can by keeping your sugar as regular as possible.
Facts are the important part of research.

Of course, you are absolutely correct.

Actually, I was just about to – sort of. You think kings and queens never had a gay kid?

I can't speak for every child out there, but are they really that concerned with having a princess share their disability, body size, etc.? I have Asperger's and I don't think I've ever once thought "I wish there was a Disney Princess that had Asperger's Syndrome." I just enjoy my favorite characters for what they are and don't think much about how they relate to me. I don't think you are wrong for having these wishes at all, it's just not something I've personally given much thought to.

Ok, so this thread is about a Disney princess with issues... ok, what about a Disney Prince with issues... What about curing a Disney Villain of their issues?
What about a Disney movie that doesn't have a happy ending? Where's that at?

While I am all for inclusion, I don't see the need to make a princess have a terminal illness, a serious illness, in a wheelchair, etc. The reason being, as someone who has struggled with a chronic illness for most of her life, that there is so much more to a person besides their illness or disability. A lot of children's shows incorporate kids with disabilities, which is wonderful, but as far as the Disney princesses go, a little bit unnecessary. I don't think I've ever once thought to myself, "Gee, I wish there was a princess who has asthma like I do!" Especially the terminally-ill one; that's more than a bit depressing. As far as a plus-size princess goes, as someone who has struggled with her weight most of her life, I think we as adults tend to focus more on body image than kids do.
I think it's more important to focus on traits that kids look up to or that are important to us as a society. For instance, having different races of princesses definitely promotes inclusion, which is extremely important. I also wouldn't mind seeing, not necessarily a princess, but an animated female character with an interest in the sciences because I think that there are far too few women in math and science fields. Really, the princesses should (and currently do) embody traits that are really important for all girls to learn: strength, intelligence, work ethic, kindness, etc. I think that is far more important than featuring a princess with a disability just for the sake of featuring one with a disability.
