  1. This little mermaid and snow white teaser is just another link in a long chain of woke bs that always plays out the same

    > be european
    > see your classic tales hijacked and your culture erased from them for political points
    > be called racist when you criticise

    It's all so tiresome. Funniest thing is if it's the reverse and a dark skinned character gets lighter skin, it's racist and whitewashing or whatever they call it. xD

  6. I mean it doesnt even make any sense

    Snowwhite with dark skin, SNOW WHITE and people will unironically say her skin being described as white as snow doesnt mean she was originally white like kys
     
  7. Touch any more brothers grimm and I riot

    Good thing my fav story is a lesser known one and disney doesnt have a classic film to make a shitty reboot of

    The criticisms against Little Mermaid make no sense considering it's a ******* made-up race of half-fish-half-human people dreamt up by drunk & horny sailors in the middle ages. But the ones against Snow White I can agree with, considering the character is canonically from a Germanic ethnicity.

    Although, I must ask since I really haven't been keeping up with these new Disney live-action remakes:
    Isn't the actress portraying Snow White Polish? So, that's like . . . no problem?

    I have been accused of being an SJW myself and even I laughed at troll attempts at criticizing that game for not being race or LGBT inclusive.

    Bruh... What kind of inclusiveness do you expect in a historically accurate game set in central to eastern Europe during the height of the Dark Ages? STFU and GTFO.

    Depends on the historical context of where the film is made, I guess, and intentions of the film-makers.

    Whitewashing the Ancient One because the film-makers didn't want to use a stereotypical Asian guru character? Okay. Lesser evil.

    Portraying Cleopatra with white actresses because her ethnicity is still under debate, but she was most likely descended from Macedonian Greeks who are white? 100% fine.

    Portraying ancient Egyptians and other Levantine people with ethnically ambiguous looking white people? Fine in my book, as long as it doesn't cross a certain line. Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep is perfection and I will accept nobody else in that role.

    [​IMG]

    Portraying of a South-East Asian boxer of Chin-Kuki-Zo ethnicity in a biopic of her life by an actress of Indo-Aryan descent instead of another person from North-East India? And using weird-ass make-up to give that Indo-Aryan actress the characteristic slit-eyes associated with South-East Asian and East Asian people? Absolutely not Okay. Alarm bells! Wrong! Even the actress herself now regrets the role despite the film being well received.

    Again I ask because I am clueless in this regard:
    Isn't the actress portraying Snow White of Polish descent?

    ---

    Okay. Looked it up. Oof... Never mind.

    So... They couldn't find one damn German or Polish or Nordic or UK actress to portray a girl described as ******* white as snow? In a story set in what I assume is somewhere in central or northern Europe during the medieval times?

    Don't jinx it, you Slavic prick :catbang

    Also why do people get worked up about non white playing role of white people especially in west that too fictional character Lmao

    In Passion of Christ bunch of European/American white people are playing role of people who are from Middle East no one bats an eye.
    I mean literally Jesus Christ is played by American actor of European Heritage not Middle Eastern.
    Jesus Christ is literally a real life figure(unless you believe otherwise)

    The point is I can go on for like 15 movies where this kind of shit happened lol



    Let me throw another thing here Alladin is Played by Egyptian actor when

    Aladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well, dwelling in "one of the cities of China".

    There's no other context here? Your examples are fine. But the context is already as you provided: a fictional character. If it's ok to change it one way, but not the other it's a double standard. It shouldn't work like that. That's like saying all black people are dumb as shit, is racist but then saying all white people or Asians are dumb as shit isn't. See the issue?

    I think the complaints can be valid and not be racist on most accounts. There are obviously extremes on all sides. Genuinely always been portrayed as a lighter skinned orange hair creature in media I've seen. It's clearly some sort of motive to change it. Whether it's good, bad or even matters is another matter entirely.

    I think there's two entirely different isses/discussion points, whatever you wanna call it here.

    one:
    If you don't like it or prefer it to be another way it's just being racist

    two:
    Idk if there's a term but differential casting of race

    The simple point actually is its money.
    White were the substantial amount of audience back in the days but now there are large amount of audience everywhere and the things are catered towards them as well.

    You are going to see long list of specific white roles being transferred to minority becoz they are now substantial amount of audience. Many people at least in India( i believe it's probably same elsewhere) won't have problem with it. I mean if play is done on let's say Russian Revolution in India and Indian guy will play Lenin or Stalin or Let's say a Play or adaptation of Snow White is done in India a india girl will play her.I believe it would be the same across Africa,East Asia and most of Latin America.

    Despite all this Still let's see in past decade or 2

    One Australian and One British dude playing Egyptian guys in The Prince of Egypt
    Emma Stone playing half Hawaiian in Aloha
    Jake Gyllenhaal playing Prince of Persia
    There is also a movie called God's of Egypt full of non Egyptian people
    Johnny Depp as Native American in The Lone Ranger
    Avatar The Last Airbender cast

    These are all big budget Hollywood movies so when people complain over some minority guy playing traditional white role you can see why racism is brought up
