Gaston is a dick, we can all agree on that, but my point was purely based on the physical distortions of what is actually possible. A lot of people were focussing on the fact that belle's waist in some scenes is smaller than her head and promotes distorted body image. I'm merely pointing out that, in the same way, gaston is indeed roughly the size of a barge, with literally impossible body proportions that promote exactly the same distorted body image for men. Moving away from that - all Disney men are not only well built / ripped (like alladin, smaller, but with washboard abs on display) but usually either impossibly charming or rich to boot.
Take Frozen, for example... Kristoff was widely applauded for being a more "realistic" love interest but, let's face it, the guy is still pretty hench, lugging around ice blocks and rock trolls. Next to Anna, he's still built like a brick ****house.
... I know far too much Disney. Can you tell I have two girls? Haha...
