Ugh, until the people whining about not keeping to a character’s “true self” can give a 20 minute monologue on appropriation, dismissal and outright lying throughout the US history, all I hear is blah-blah-blah. I was raised in the US, but some things just don’t add up. I figured out just a little bit. I’m not patient with people who won’t even try, except to try to maintain a status quo that never was.
People complaining because Ariel “is” white, that’s the truth. So there’s a focus on truth as the basis, yeah? Why doesn’t that apply to history which is full of such wrong attributions and erasure of real people? See, it’s because it’s not about truth. It’s about whiteness. Which, as a white person, I find super irritating. You have the whole internet and free libraries. Learn something so you have some sort of context for how much of a nonissue this is. Then shush
I really don't care that ariel will be black, i wasn't going to watch the movie to begin with, but if Mulan doesn't have Mushu and is purely an action girl power movie imma fucking flip my shit. Girl power all day long but if theres no comedy or music and is 100% serious 100% of the time imma have some real issues.
