@Florence0863990 Yes, the only way to have our communities use digital media in their best feature possible is to educate our youth.

Looking at the Disney movies we watched as kids, it shocked me. It shaped our mind and values in some ways, and I guess kid's today need to be aware of those harmful underlying messages that Disney placed within their movies.

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

Another Disney movie with an awful message is snow white. Who likes to spend all their time, cooking and cleaning ? This is just pure misogyny and has no place in our effort to promote a more equal society.

I remember watching Beauty and the Beast as a kid and thinking it was a good character evolution and a great romance story. However, looking back, I understand how manipulative and problematic the Beast's bahavior was towards Belle. It simply has no place in today's society.

I wonder if Hate Speech was as prominent in the late 1900's. Did social media amplified the phenomenon, or simply provided the closeted bigot and xenophobe with an opportunity to share their hateful rhetoric to a larger audience ?

I would be interested in knowing the troll percentage on forums with anonymity, such as Reddit, compared to Facebook or websites with easily accesible identity pages. It would display which method is the ''most'' effective in order to have civil debates.

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

And, while not knowing the definitive answers since I am not on the BOD, we can assume that Disney, partly does cause it would hurt their bottom-line if they did not. With large disposable income, lesbians and gays have a large buying power that corporations want to please.

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

Even Disney, a company known to put money in front of everything else, starts to embrace diversity. Recent films have included minorities and LGBTQ+ community members in their films. However, we have to wonder, why did it took so long ? Why wait until your reputation is bad? 1/2

I think with the changes happening in Hollywood, with MeToo and Boycott the Oscars, I think it is headed in the right direction. Social changes, and especially cultural changes need time to actually make an impact but, those mouvements will help marginalized groups' future.

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

One line in the film Ted 2, hilariously illustrates the situation for African-American actors. ''You ever seen any movie ever? He's the black guy.''
This is sad considering that an handful of actors now represent a large chunk of the population in the popular culture's eyes.

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

Another thing, when promoting minorities in movies, we often see the same actors over and over again. Looking at the African-American representation in movies, we mostly see Sam L. Jackson, Will Smith or Kevin Hart. We need to see a bigger repertoire of talent for them. (1/2)

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

The reason I can see for something like that to happen, is because the producers are focused on cash. ScarJo's popularity will help the movies revenues. But, that logic is wrong. Films like Black Panther have proven that social causes and money are not mutually exclusive. (2/2)

[Alec Beaudin @beaudin_alec]

Ghost in the Shell was a Japanese anime film, reworked in order to get real actors involve. As such, you would believe that the movie would feature mostly, if not an all Asian cast. But, Scarlett Johansson was casted for a large female role, which was written as an Asian. (1/2)
