Disney to replace Johnny Depp's role with black woman in Pirates reboot (and the pirate crew with foids). Black woman forum is convinced Disney is purposefully making a shitty film to prove diversity is box office poison.

Absolutely not . I feel like Disney has an agenda . They want all projects with minorities to flop so they can say see , we tried more diversity and it didn't work . I'm all for diversity but they've been making such shitty choices lately.


purposely throwing money away to embarass black folks seems the new agenda on projects that clearly will fail and have racists gather to bash


Bingo. They need to let the franchise go or because this ain't gonna work. Depp is too controversial right now so I understand why, but no. They keep setting up minorities primarily black women. When they could replace him with Timothee or someone else. They know this will spark outrage.


Kill this darn series already! That saggy, alcoholic ballsack Depp unfortunately played a character that is absolutely central to the franchise, so without Jack Sparrow it just doesn't make any sense. If Disney actually had any original ideas anymore, they wouldn't need to bite off the same tired butt franchises and set up poc and female actors for abuse!

Someone thinks the og complainer is a spicy industry plant.

It's typical and quite common on here. After moaning about full black women being replaced by biracial actresses and black women being overtly xesual, you'd think they would embrace someone like Ayo. She's a full DS black woman who is quirky and chill. She put in the work to get where she is today, so it's weird to see some fonts agreeing with that racist Mexican font about her being an industry plant. Smh I'm not taking anymore complaints about black women representation seriously on LSA.

More conspiracy theorizing in the comments.

I thought Disneysneed was all about the historical inappropriateness of POC characters? Wouldnt a POC pirate be more historically accurate than whatever breed of ypippo Johnny Depp is?

If she's supposed to be Anne Bonney as rumored it's super dumb they didn't just make up a new totally fictional pirate for her to portray. But I expect Disney to do the dumbest shit possible so :marseyshrug:

This is how you know it's stupid.

What people actually want is a prequel about Anamaria. Although Zoe Saldana is definitely more expensive now so maybe that's why they've abandoned it
