Questions: Entertainment & Arts

I just brought up this point in another post.

I said how the outrage from Disney's super-sh*tty-looking "'remake'" of The Little Mermaid comes from all the implications of "white people and Danish culture" being "problematic" and that "black people are superior to whites."

And the fact that they are calling this woke abortion "The Little Mermaid" even though it will not follow the same story and the lead character will not have a love interest or any positive feelings towards a man (cause women liking men, is also "problematic and sexist" and junk.)

My point is, they race-swapped a beloved Disney character, implied that white people are "bad," and are going to change the entire story around and not even have it be a love story anymore. Yet are calling it "The Little Mermaid."

IF THIS WAS A WHOLLY ORIGINAL STORY NOT LINKED TO THE DANISH FAIRY TALE AND WAS NAMED 'CIARA OF THE SEA,' DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE ANGRY AT THIS MOVIE?

I don't think they would. Which also means, it's not race that's the issue here.

What I originally said:
"You can't get 'acceptance and tolerance for other races' by destroying other races/culture in the process or implying other races are inferior and we need to 'fix the wrongs of the past' by blackwashing and race-swapping established beloved characters for no good reason.

It's not even the race-swap that's the issue. It's the fact this is another sh*tty remake of a Disney movie no one wanted, and this time, they're not even going to bother to properly remake it. If it's not even a remake, it completely defeats the purpose of even calling it 'The Little Mermaid.' If this was called 'Ciara of the Sea' or something, there would be no outrage at all. No one would go see it cause EVERYTHING from Disney sucks nowadays. But there'd be no outrage and you wouldn't have to knock down another character in order to prop up a black female one."
