But, you're not taking in how much more important Ariel is to 40 year old men on internet forums.

As literally one of those (47), I'm mature enough to know if it's good it's good, and if it sucks don't blame "diversity!".

Catwoman should have taught us this, and holy shit its the same actress.

I kept on making this same mistake until I finally went to her insta from this topic. "Isn't Halle Berry old as shit, why's she playing Ariel. Wait, that's a different person? Holy hell man."

Wait, really?

She's still hot as shit for 53.

That's all good and well. But, you're not taking in how much more important Ariel is to 40 year old men on internet forums. And I feel like that's very uncompassionate of you. Disney is their toy and they don't want anyone else playing with it. Just let them have their toys.

what do da lil ginger girls think of all dis?

i get being inclusive but it's pretty sad believing that the awe in those kids' eyes have anything to do with the color of her skin instead of just seeing a pretty girl with wavy hair.

this is what kids see:

everything else is just agenda pushing.

I don't get why people are mad about this. Are you telling me you were going to go see the live action Little Mermaid musical if it starred a redhead?

Damn. I'm Asian. I wish I was included.

I'm talking about being included in race swapped reboots.

Which reboot would you like to see yourself represented in?

For the record, Ariel's design is copied from one of the mermaids in Peter Pan. There's still a chance you could get to see the classic redhead look in a live action movie.

How about Shaft?

Go make it happen Cap'n.

Sure thing. Just hook me up with the financing.

Im not black and im kinda depressed by it. So much hate over fictional characters targeted for kids and then crying " bUh mUh Chilhoodz"

You somehow miss Mulan?

Why would I help a lawyer with money? You're the one that's got it like that, go make your dreams come true.

Damn. I'm Asian. I wish I was included.

Honestly, I do to. Aren't you tired of the Asian cast being severely typecast?

So because I'm Asian, I can't get Disney financing?

Have you actually tried? Why whine at me when you can just go make your pitch to Disney? Who here is stopping you?

Yep, but even worse is not being cast at all.

Stop arguing with him

there are 62% more white girls in america than black so as long as disney keeps that ratio in mind there should be no issues with casting
