We are truly blessed Under the Seethe on rDrama as Woke Seethe becomes more entertaining than Chud Seethe.

"I’ve not seen a single comment where someone had an issue with her being black"

Err, that doesn't quite sound right to me?

"Same thing that happened with rings of power. Cast a black person and get called woke and piss off the neck beards"

Gee I hope that demographic wasn't significant in Tolkien's fanbase?

"Her eyes seem way to far from each other"

True.

"The real reason her being black is bullshit, is that if a mermaid lived under water, her skin would be pale butt white, because of the lack of light. The body wouldn't produce melatonin to color the skin because of her surroundings. So there."

Trust the Science.

"I don't give two shits about this, but my 7 year old daughter says "that isn't Ariel" and then gets upset, she has no interest in it. She had the same reaction to the Cinderella film on Amazon. Little girls identify these princesses right down to the dress... if she's not wearing a yellow dress, she's not Belle... etc. You'd think Disney would understand things like this about their characters."

Racist white b-word.

It’s sad that people have such an issue with a fictional character that has no ties to a specific race or ethnicity being played by a black girl.

What’s even sadder is that the people getting upset about it don’t realize that this quite literally isn’t the first time a non-white actress has portrayed Ariel

Edit: Why am I being downmarseyd? For saying it’s sad that people dislike/hate a black girl for playing a popular character? Or for pointing out that Ariel has a precedent for being a colorblind role?

Edit 2: Y’all reported me to Reddit care over a mermaid?

Has there been a live action remake of a Disney classic that hasn’t come off as a soulless cash grab?

"The people you don't like absolutely HATE this movie and want it to fail. If you really support whatever you believe in, you'll pay to watch the movie and stick it to those others!"

Reddit falls for this every other week.

They have boxes of genuine black stories in a room somewhere because racist executives decided that no one wanted to watch it.

oh yeah im sure there's a mountain of amazing black stories just sitting in a box but Big Jew White is holding them back
