LateToCult 39,674 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I’ve been avoiding this thread like the plague because 20+ pages on a controversial race topic can’t be good. N-Knee-Ways fingers crossed they don’t cast Harry Styles as Prince Eric. I have a sinking feeling they might because we found out about Ariel first. They might be saving him until the end because he’s more famous than Halle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy now babes? Because expressing yourself on here is now being racist.

To those who are pro this choice, you guys will be mad if the other way around, casting white or asian for a black person role. Exactly .. anyways.. what a mess.

Pacify Him 9,073 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Yikes, if this controversy is gonna end up destroying the rep of this remake... I’ll say I’m relieved by it. Remakes are so boring, and they’re just money grabbing, because they can’t. Think. Of. Original. Ideas. Anymore. If this marks the end of Hollywood remakes and sequels, I’d be so thankful. Like Ariel, hun... Let this blow up, I say. I’m getting on your nerves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delusional Aura 5,129 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 This topic is so sensitive that if I give my opinion people would say I'm racist when I'm absolutely not.

Kattys 4,319 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I am so tired of this crap. Changing beloved characters from white to black will always create outrage and it is goddamn normal that I as I pale ass girl do not identify with black girls and crucifying me that I’m racist is a joke. And this „we need more representation, diversity” - I AGREE, but go with new characters and new movies. Why is it so hard to understand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have TONS of other movies where you can identity to every character so why are you so mad about this?

Why is it so hard to understand? lmfaooo will u only watch a movie if you ‘ identify with a character’ ? also don’t you have a million other princesses you can identify yourself with considering most of them are you know....white? I’m so sick of y’all complaining BECAUSE of the color of her skin, that’s racist. PeriodT. if you want to ‘relate’ to a mermaid, you still got the original, go watch it. this is revolutionary casting and 10-20 years from now people are going to agree unanimously. also this ain’t the first time Disney has ‘race-bended’ a character(s). recasting a ‘white’ cartoon character will never be an issue, you know why? cuz their whiteness never has anything to do with the storyline or the struggles they face. but it IS an issue if it was the other way around, cuz the color of their skin almost always has something to do the their story and their struggles, just like in real life, cuz life imitates art and vice versa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
