but she's not smart either....
Ariel makes one reckless decision whereas most of other princesses made dozens of them. Lets take a look, shell we? Rapunzel, my other favourite, repeatedly trusts a wanted criminal without possessing any knowledge on what he is about and not taking the possibility of him hurting or manipulating her into consideration, relying solely on her frying pan. Pocahontas, again, one of my favourites, immediatelly jumps into a relationship with a man who about a minute ago aimed a loaded gun at her and proceeds to date him secretly despite knowing that he and his people came to her father's land in order to take it away while putting her entire tribe in danger. Jasmine runs away from home, steals food in order to give it to poor boy on the market and nearly loses a hand. Snow White, being entirely aware of the fact that the Evil Queen was after her and already had an attemopt at her life using the third person, willingly lets the stranger into the house and even eats something given by that stranger. Tiana kisses a random talking frog because he claimed to be a risc handsome prince with tones of money and it backfires immensely just as in Snow White's case. Compared to those completely conscious acts of silliness/dellusion, Ariel's deal with Ursula was her moment of weakness and despair when she - for once - let her heart rule her head, but it was not a moment of stupidity. Her father in just few seconds trashed her entire collection that she had been working on for YEARS of her life because she was determined and open minded enough to want to LEARN about a different culture instead of blindly negatively judging it which already highlights her intelligence.
Also, not being able to see the flaws in your favorite character is also biased.
And yes, all the princesses made reckless choices, but only in Ariel's case an entire kingdom was at stake.
Tiana's reckless choice could have cost her friend's safety (when she didn't immediatelly warn Charlotte about what was going on and that she was possibly dancing with the wrong guy who was not the actual prince) and later Naveen's life when he was almost eaten by aligators whereas she only cared about getting his money for her resturant. Belle's recklessness nearly led to the rose being damaged which could have resulted in unpredictable consequences for Beast and his entire castle - that despite her being DIRECTLY told to not go to the West Wing. Pocahontas was entirely aware of Smith's intentions and of the goal he and his people were initially planning to achieve aka possessing her father's land and yet still kept sneaking around with him just because he was hot which resulted in one of her people ACTUALLY being killed. Ariel on the other hand only subscribed to the terms that implied HER being the only person in danger and facing consequences on her own if she fails to kiss Eric within 3 days. Was it reckless? Yes, totally. Was this particular decision of hers stupid? Again, yes. But it does not make her dumb in general and underestimating her objective intelligence in terms of other things, being unable to give her credit where credit is due is being biased in my opinion. Then again, we all are so it's not like I'm calling anyone on it.
