Current Events > People are really flipping out about a black person playing a fish.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Once again, this is one of many awful products of the internet being as affordable and accessible as it is today.

This rhetoric and this message are going to resonate with countless uneducated schmucks who would have zero interest or knowledge in politics if smartphones didn't become affordable in the early 2010s.

No one had a problem when Will Smith was a fish in Shark Tale, why now?

jeffhardyb0ys posted this the other day, I totally stole it.

does this delusional racist bullshit really need to be posted here

He's right tho. Im slowly starting to forget white people even exist. I have to be reminded on weekends or they're completely erased from my world understanding

You said you would remember me you liar! (Fades into nothingness)

Is this a real discussion that's actually going on right now?

Because it just sounds like a really desperate or lazy strawman meant to distract away from the REAL topic that the majority of complaints are actually about.

the REAL topic that the majority of complaints are actually about.

Which would be...?

Your perceived white victimhood?

Black ARIEL.

I ain't white, you fool.

What about her?

So your by proxy white victimhood?

I.. Dunno why the most racist dudes stereotypically pronounce white like that.

Its like a massive tell.

White TIANA.

Try replying with the same question.

Why don't you try the "White TIANA" challenge I just wrote above. The let's see if "by proxy BLACK victimhood" might come up.

What about her?

You think taking away THE black princess is the same thing as swapping one of the many white ones?

So if you don't see any problem with it, does that mean you're okay with it?

Sure.

So what's so upsetting about a black mermaid again?

They make valid points that all the live action remakes are lazy, though - and that Disney should be creating new IPs instead of lazily rehashing older millennial nostalgia.

You're replacing ARIEL with "mermaid" again.

The problem is, why is Little Mermaid getting extra strength hate compared to other live remakes?

Lion King didn't get this much hate, and that sure as fuck is more nostalgia than Little Mermaid ever was.

Mulan remake outright butchered the story, yet still received less hate from the usual suspects.

Not everyone against the mermaid remake is racist, but why is this remake getting the most hate?

What's upsetting about a black Ariel again?

What's upsetting about a black Ariel again?

some people get angry when they are black people in things so they have to pretend theyre really invested in the sanctity of cartoon character ethnicity

I thought both DID get a lot of hate? I remember seeing the Lion King being very divisive and some people completely trashing it, and some people (like my girlfriend) loving it.
I also never saw anybody say anything positive about the Mulan remake.

Same thing that's upsetting about white Tiana. If you're gonna give us the same character with the same name, then give us the same character with the same name. This applies more if the character is the main, and even more depending on the character's iconic status.
