Memes about the prince’s kiss (without consent) to Snow White

Could the topic of the moment not become a meme? No, he couldn’t: while the controversy over the kiss with which the prince woke up Snow White the social message boards are filling up with images (you can see some of them in the gallery above) in which he looks for different and creative ways to make her wake up from sleep: he tries with the defibrillator, with the stadium horn, with the coffee, he even asks her to sign a release to make sure he has her consent.

Consent: it is the reason why one of the most iconic kisses in the history of literature and cinema has become news.

It all started because Disneyland, in the restyling during the lockdown of his park in Anaheim (California), he chose to change the finish of the ride of his carousel Snow White’s Enchanted Wish: it is no longer the scene of the death of the stepmother Grimilde but that, in fact, of the kiss with which the prince awakens the princess of the spell.

In reviewing the carousel, two journalists from San Francisco Gate (a small local newspaper) criticized the choice by writing that “Snow White is sleeping and therefore the kiss was not consensual “ arguing that it should be removed out of respect for women. In a few hours their review was picked up by the tabloids, and then by newspapers around the world, and in this way it became a global case.

A case with all the credentials to end up on social media boards: there is the popular fairy tale that we all know, it speaks of female sensitivity, of politically correct and incorrect, of cancel culture. The posts are getting wasted, and the memes could not be missing. Browse the gallery to see them
