A plight is a plight. I wish people would stop comparing certain plights. Yes fat people are unfairly judged. Yes people of color are unfairly judged. They don't outweigh each other, because they are two different issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hELXIG 42,966 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I have the solution for everyone. She can play Ursula's sister, Morgana I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCgaga 4,323 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Ursula was NOT a drag queen. Her aesthetic was inspired by a white drag queen, but Ursula was a female. The black thing came from I think Queen Latifah or someone playing her on a TV show. I think Gaga would be good for this role, especially Vanessa. However, Ursula's voice was much lower and raspier. It will be hard for anyone to pull that unique voice off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hELXIG 42,966 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Also, how has noone made the joke yet that we're all surprised they didn't cast Scarlett Johansson? I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 All offense but Ginger Minj is the only right for Ursula. Gaga doesn't fit her and I'm sure she'd much rather play Ariel than Ursula anyway lol. I'd accept Cher for Ursula too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log off and go insult someone who deserves it. For everyone else: fat =/= unhealthy.

Yes, you are the only one. From when fighting your own battle makes you a bad person because there are many others to be fought? There are examples for days tbh and we should label them as insults?

Everything is transphobic, cultural appropriation, homophobic, heteronormative or fake news, too liberal, fake, controlled... it’s pure bullshit. What really bothers me is that Twitter is taken seriously by some important people like what the **** Tumblr is just a pure tumour that can’t be taken seriously. pooiota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or...maybe you, personally, need a media detox if you can't handle complex topics of discussion. This goes all the way back to 2012 with the shooting of Trayvon Martin. All these social media sites were just memes and "like this post if" until the people using the platform found a way to talk about these hard topics. Depends on your twitter feed and tumblr dashboard. You can always unfollow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People take it too far, way too far that it falls in the line of ridiculous and becomes embarrassing. But as another person said, it’s just human nature Every single topic you listed as bullshit is important. It affects thousands, if not, millions of people. Transphobia, Homophobia, & Heteronormativity are all issues that LGBTQ people have been voicing about since the Lavender Scare of the 50's. Cultural Appropriation is an issue to many people of color as we help expose that there is still a veil of white supremacy in America and our history set it up this way starting with manifest destiny. Fake News is what we've been dealing with for the past two years. It was a term coined by liberals about right-wing media outlets publishing inflammatory news clickbait to further divide the nation. Trump, being the idiot that he is, takes the term and refashions it for his followers to distract fact-checking. There has to be someone that takes all these topics and researches how the conversation changes daily with people with high levels of influence. If you can't deal with how media has been run since, idk, forever, take some time out for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
