@EnmityandRage @PRS3245@E_Teezey1286 @ZorritoTails @OccupyWpg @vandalibm Oh definitely. I hope there are little girls who watch the live action and see themselves as the princess like I did. It’s Disney. It’s meant to be magical for little kids and nostalgic for adults
@JSMclaughlin5@MillennialStar2@HintonSalley @OccupyWpg @vandalibm “Radical leftist”? When was this about political standing? This is a fictional mermaid character who makes a deal with an octopus to have legs after meeting a man for two seconds. It’s not real
@Drunkinho1@tooboredtocar3 @RyanMat01401810 @OccupyWpg @vandalibm The whole point is Anne’s and Ariel’s character has nothing to do with skin color. MLK and Black Panther have nearly if not everything to do with their skin color. MLK was literally a civil rights activist for African Americans-
@Howie0231@KhallafKris @OccupyWpg @vandalibm The original story by the way. Ariel died and transformed into sea foam after the prince married another woman. Want that in the story as well since you love the source material so much?
@Howie0231@KhallafKris @OccupyWpg @vandalibm The point is no one batted an eye to the Genie (a blue character) being mostly black during the film. Regional or not. In the original, he was only ever blue. Nothing else. How is that different from a mermaid (mythological creature) being a different color?
@SLVRZLA @pk_kenzie And mermaids are. Guess I can go tell my niece mermaids really are real since the genius of Twitter has spoke. Are you good? Do you need a Kit Kat?
@JBass323 @LakotaMan1 As a white woman with red hair who idolized Ariel growing up? I don’t give a shit if the actress was painted blue for the role. If they have red hair, it’s completely fine. Stop mentioning my kind of representation to justify your thought process. Go watch the original
@doeseph10 @LEremika @OccupyWpg @vandalibm I’m a pale white woman with red hair who idolized Ariel growing up. You’re a racist person who’s using basically me as some excuse for your disrespect toward an actual human being just playing a fictional character who is a mermaid. Literal half fish.
@LegosMarie @OccupyWpg @vandalibm Then go watch the original. I’m literally saying this as someone who idolized Ariel growing up. Changing an actual person to look a different race because you can’t handle a black Ariel? Not okay. It’s racist. She’s an actual person just playing a character. A mermaid. Not. Real.
@Howie0231@KhallafKris @OccupyWpg @vandalibm Yet he wasn’t blue for the majority or even really half of the film. What is so wrong with a black Ariel for people? Honestly..
@PRS3245@E_Teezey1286 @EnmityandRage @ZorritoTails @OccupyWpg @vandalibm I grew up idolizing Ariel since she was the first Disney Princess who had red hair like me. Even I know she’s a fictional creature and character. I don’t care what her skin color is. If she has red hair, she’s kept true to what I idolized her for personally
@Nhusselz247 @OccupyWpg @vandalibm She didn’t have a race. She’s a mermaid. Just because Disney drew her as white doesn’t mean she had to be always white. Mermaids can’t have a race as they are not real. You want her to have a race? Her race is “fish”
@jguyis@BenPhillips93@HungManPlusPlus @OccupyWpg @vandalibm It’s a story about a mermaid princess who gets legs from a sea witch after falling in love at first sight. As a white red head, I don’t care if she’s purple. It’s a fictional creature.
