Minnie Mouse Maleified at Disney Paris?

[DLgal]

Would you really be offended if Mickey was carrying a bag? “Murse” is also very outdated slang - using that word isn’t exactly “with the times.” Lots to unpack here.

Purse is even an outdated term. It's handbag.

Ummmmmmmm its Stella McCartney and home girl is looking fierce. I can't tell if this is a troll post or not. Unless she is wearing nothing but pasties and hot pants I wouldn't clutch my pearls at what a cartoon mouse is wearing lmao

your post made my day, thank you

It’s a somewhat unflattering but probably comfy pajama-like outfit, but calling it “maleified” in this day and age is a bit silly.

It is to prevent the wardrobe malfunction Minnie had in Paris about 6 months ago. Minnie cannot be trusted with bloomers, she will scar the young guests for life!

90% of the women I see at work or out in public wear pants. I’m not sure how anyone female-identifying wearing pants is even worth commenting on—the fact that the outfit was designed by Stella McCartney is interesting, not the fact that it’s pants.

And whose life is made any better by clinging to or being shamed into conforming to strict gender roles? Though with women in pants, that ship sailed decades ago.

For real. I wear a dress MAYBE once a year. Maybe, if we are going somewhere extra fancy and my black dress pants won't cut it. I hate dresses. I am definitely not a male, though. Such a weird thing to be upset about. How about we get upset that it took them THIS long to let Minnie wear pants?

Are you kidding me. Look at the picture. Minnie is now wearing a blue pants suit with a blue bow. Looking at it closely. It's Mickey Mouse with long eyelashes, and a bow. Disney has completely lost it's mind.

can you share the picture?

There's already a thread running about this (with picture)

It's not personally my taste but it's more the color scheme. Blue is actually my favorite color and while I would prefer Minnie's classic colors I think if they were going to do blue and black there needed to be another contrast in there. As is it blends quite a lot. If you look at the other characters generally there's enough color contrast there. I feel like it's going for a modern look by doing that but I just sorta lose the whole thing. A poster may have a point about the pjs comment as it sorta ends up coming off like a matching set like that rather than a stylish pantsuit (YMMV on that stylish part).

In fairness the OP's thread predates the one you posted by several days.

Apparently it was moved from another board. Possibly the mod who moved it could have merged it.

I think it was moved I'm just going by the start date since you said a thread already existed. Technically this thread is the one that already existed. Reading both there's some overlap on opinions but certainly this particular thread is getting different tones of responses due to the OP's take on it along with the objection to the perceived gender.

Find something more important to get angry about.

“Maleified” is definitely not a word.

It's when they decorate merchandise to resemble Maleficent.

Check how Maleified this bag is:

This is what I was thinking - but would have spelled it Maleficized!

 

[Alicefan]

Only if you think the costume is a dud.

No not dud, duuude. You couldn't read my precise spelling of my pretend word? lol

 

[mom2rtk]

No not dud, duuude. You couldn't read my precise spelling of my pretend word? lol

For clarity, maybe consider the alternative spelling “doodified”?

Had to open the thread to see what Maleified meant LOL

First there's alot of posters getting on the OP about being upset. Yes, it isn't something to be upset about but obviously Disney wants people to notice and talk about this or they wouldn't have hired a designer to come up with an outfit to put Minnie in for Women's History Month.
And of course there's all the usual Disney can do wrong so if you have anything negative to say it's you that has an issue.........
Anyway, the pant suit is ugly, the colors are drab and it look like pajamas.
Now all I will say if Disney wanted to do something for Minnie in order to honor women the least they could have done is not make it look like she's run off to work forgetting to get herself dressed for the day.

I still don't know what it means. Googled it, still confused.

After seeing the OP I assume it means they think Disney made Minnie dark and evil like Maleficent.

I think they are referring to making Minnie look like a male.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I think they are referring to making Minnie look like a male.

Well, that's pretty much what she always is, a Mickey with eyelashes, bow, dress, heels. Disney is not going to spend a lot of unneeded money making her detailedly special. She looks fine to me.
