Believe it or not, this isn’t new. It was back in 2018 when a piece in “Parents” magazine did a piece on Kristen Bell — the voice of Anna in “Frozen” — reading to her daughters, then 5 and 3. “Don’t you think that it’s weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission?” Bell says she has asked her daughters. “Because you can not kiss someone if they’re sleeping!” What a magical storytime.
Now that problematic kiss has resurfaced, thanks to a revamped ride at Disneyland which has allegedly “sparked a backlash” over the prince kissing Snow White without her permission or consent.
Daily Mail US ~ Revamped ride at Disneyland sparks backlash over 'true love's kiss' scene because 'she is asleep and not able to give the Prince consent.'

The Daily Mail reports:
It is not the first time the Snow White kiss scene from the 1937 film has drawn concern over the message it sends to youngsters.
In 2018, Kazue Muta, a professor at Osaka University in Japan, argued the act of kissing a sleeping woman can be likened to sexual assault on an unconscious person.
The feminist academic, 61, went as far as to say that the stories of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty “promote sexual violence.”
“When you think rationally about ‘Snow White’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ that tell of a ‘princess being woken up by the kiss of a prince,’ they are describing sexual assault on an unconscious person,” she tweeted.
Disneyland’s already reworking the Jungle Cruise ride, which promotes white colonialism, and Splash Mountain, which is based on “Song of the South.” Which sucks for Disneyland, because they just revamped the Snow White ride and left the kiss in.
Lighten up, Everyone. ~ Well then she’d be asleep forever, because she would never be able to give consent.
True dat!
Mike Barsetti ~ I think we can all agree that a lifelong coma is better than being kissed by your boyfriend while you’re sleeping.
Elliott Park ~ Honest question ... Is mouth to mouth resuscitation ok if the unconscious person can’t give consent?
Excellent question!
