'We need a Disney princess' meme quickly derails from genuine to bizarre
Say it with me: we need a Disney princess who isn't perfect.
The Disney princess franchise has made an effort to move away from traditional heroines who need to be saved by a dashing prince. In fact, newer princesses like Moana and Merida don't have love interests at all. But some people think Disney could do more to make princesses with flaws, whether it's an unconventional body or just being an asshole.
The current meme-able format appears to have started in September, when comedian Sofie Hagen put out a call for a fat princess.

She has a point -- just look at Cinderella, whose waist is approximately the size of her neck.
Hagen's tweet had Twitter users feeling similarly. In the past week, her format and call for imperfect Disney princesses has been all over social media.
