Yes, she's harshly criticized due of her decisions, but trust me she was also being defended a lot by her fans.

wavesurf picked Yes. I sympathize her.:
WE would not have to defend Ariel, if her haters weren't so dead bent on saying that she "has no good traits" and "never redeems herself."

It depends on the person. I find it ridiculous when someone HATES Ariel (or any disney princess) because none of them have done anything so terrible to deserve hate. They may do some stuff you disagree with and you may not be fond of them but to actively hate them I think is always an overreaction. Ariel is harshly criticized, absolutelybut has plenty of people who stick up for her. I would say Merida is treated worse.

My biggest issue with her is just the way she talks to her dad. I love her curiosity and jest for life though. I love that she's basically living in a society that is racist toward humans, so to speak and she's the one who goes against that and sees beyond all that. In the 3rd movie, you find out why Triton doesn't like or trust humans and honestly for good reason. The love of his life is dead more so because of her poor choices. She honestly should have left the music box. She wouldn't have died. But he blames them. Ariel looks beyond that and falls in love with one. Perfect way to bring two worlds together.

UnholyNoise picked Sort of yes, sort of no.:
most of the stuff people say about ariel is true. she is dumb and spoiled and selfish: trusts someone with a known reputation for screwing people over. still couldn't anticipate or plan for being screwed over. it's always about what she wants, irrespective of her friends' and family's concerns. but then they're supposed to bail her out when she eventually gets in over her head. and the narrative rewards her for all of it. she ends up learning nothing and never has to rework her values or ambitions, even when they hurt others and get her into trouble.

the criticism that she's just in it for a man is batshit, though - ariel's a land weeb and would be one even without eric. i don't think she gets enough credit for her ambition being tied to genuine curiosity and admiration for a culture other than her own despite being raised to hate/fear humans.

I agree with princesslullaby and UnholyNoise too. I understand a lot of the criticism she gets, and a lot of people are reasonable with it, but she can also attract obsessive hatred which is a bit much - I never realised how much people can hate selfishness until I saw Ariel and Merida discussed on here! I mean really, they have good intentions, they're not villains setting out to harm someone else, why so much hate??

Completely agree with princesslullaby and UnholyNoise. Some of her criticisms are deserved while some are undeserved.

snowybennet picked No, she's overrated:
Sorry but she´s reeally overrated, she is iconic, cute and all but she´s selfish with everyone on the movie and changes everything just because she has a cruush on some hot guy she just met. This doesn´t mean I dont like her but she´s probabily the most overrated with Elsa.
