TheShadowViper 09/14/22 9:50:40 PM #53:	I don't really agree that it is worth it. One of those black girls could be right now writing a tale about a black princess, a story that takes some elements from Little Mermaid and their own experience, but isn't The Little Mermaid. This film has deprived the world of that story. Often it is the lack of things that creates the incentive to create new things, and when that incentive is lost or bastardized, it becomes less likely to lead to quality change. I'm a big believer in new characters over the altering of others to artificially fit a different mold. The important part is that the capacity and capability to tell these new stories exists and continues to exist regardless of race or any other dividing force. <cite>TheShadowViper posted [p:968040557] in Little bla...
