Don’t wonder what she looks like in the spring. You may not even have a spring! You might be gobbled up by aliens or man-eating peat moss. You’d be much better off to stay right here in the present. So if you’re with her right now, then right now with her is what you think about. And if you’re with your puppy and a napkin full of kale chips, then kale chips and puppies are what you think about.

Here’s the thing: It’s ok to think that Merida is a lesbian, not because she shirks traditional gender roles but because she doesn’t have a love interest. Archery prowess and a love of the wilderness does not a lesbian make, otherwise The Hunger Games might have been a little different. She’s not “an honorary boy” because she’s not actively trying to find a husband. On the contrary, it is unlikely that this story could have happened to a guy in this setting, and this conversation about sexuality definitely wouldn’t have happened. Also, stop conflating gender identity with gender presentation! Commentary like these reviews is frustrating, but maybe that’s the point Pixar is trying to make: Merida’s sexuality is a non-issue in the film, and the fact that this topic is even worth mentioning is because women are constantly sexualized.
