Dominic 11,922 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I dont see the outrage. I've never seen it tbf, more of a Cartoon Network kid than Disney but is it that big of a deal? Honestly, dye her hair red and it's a good resemblance. I mean that girl is crazy pretty, striking features - perfect for Disney The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a mermaid and they can be of any skin color. Not one of we should go strictly by the book because Disney never does that. And for the last time, did I have a problem with a black Ariel? No. I was simply telling a person who seems to be oblivious of the book how she was described in the first place. How am I possibly helping future racists by telling someone the original material have her skin colour as white and they use that for the animation and people were kinda expecting that too for this live action? HOW? HOW? HOW? Did I have a problem with the casting? Was I against a black Ariel? No and no. What’s not clicking? Does it matter?

The real problem is how they messed up Scar and removed his black mane. This is honestly the best way I wanted to say about all this. Sorry @Ally Campana I guess I took it a little too far. I do this on the daily on reddit. I’ll stop now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't and neither does that fact the this ONE time, your precious magical fish person is a few shades darker than the cartoon you are familiar with. I can't with y'all anymore; your tears aren't stopping the fact that the Ariel has beautiful brown skin Stay mad. You’re the one mad that not everyone is embracing this decision though? As I stated several times, I’m not mad that she’s black. She could be Asian Latina etc, but the original film she was light skinned with red hair. The castle and the her human dress were European style. You have been ignoring my posts saying I’m not mad at her being black. But if this is supposed to be a remake of the 1989 classic, then it’s not. Not only that, they’ll have to rebrand everything and change the Disney Princess lineup. Then there’s the video games like Kingdom Hearts, etc. I would rather them make a new black princess than change a current one just to please certain people.

This change is uncalled for. She's a freakin ginger and that how it's meant to be played. You know gingers can be black right? ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not making another cartoon version. And Kingdom Hearts have put The Little Mermaid thru enough games imo.

Sorry @Ally Campana I guess I took it a little too far. I do this on the daily on reddit. I’ll stop now. No the problem is sweetie, you can’t differentiate between what’s racist and what’s not. Check literally everything I have posted in this thread and show me where I have a problem with having a Black Ariel. You’ll find none cause even my first response was ‘Was kinda expecting Zendaya. Congrats to Halle though I love their album The Kids Are All Right’. I am a South Asian man and I have faced racism in my life many many times too. You simply just wanted to wave your SJW ‘woke’ flag by having an outrage over something that’s not even related to race. And it’s pretty clear you simply can’t admit that you were wrong cause of your pride. People like you having outrage over nothing is literally why many people can’t take racism seriously and why many of us are called ‘over sensitive’ when an actual situation of racism arises. Do better for your community and try have some actual logic and reasoning. I’m done. Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy now babes? Because expressing yourself on here is now being racist. When people are associating “redhead” with white and using it as a PC way to say they want a white woman then yes it’s an issue. white peoples get so many roles in Hollywood. Ariel is a mermaid. She can in fact be a black girl with a sickening red lace front. The haters can in FACT seethe. Before GGD tries to ban me for being “racist to white people” I’m half white and half white passing latinx (primarily Spaniard) so do not try to play them white tears here girlies.
