Context

The qouted tweet was an artist that drew Ariel from a scene of the movie as white, then mayos and neighbors bicker at each other over a children's movie character

:#marseyitsallsotiresome:


Drama

girl why

Do NOT start anything. Admire the art, please.

do NOT tell me what to do weirdo

because unlike you all, i have a life Alex

:#marseysurejan:

Because they hate us. However they try to deflect, it’s because they hate us. They are more offended by being called racist, than actually being one.

How about this for a novel idea, how about creating something for yourself instead of stealing from others?


Babes this is shady considering the hate Halle has received bc of her race/skin color playin Ariel. And the original animated version and tons of fan art already have Ariel like this. It looks good but the fact that you get to be oblivious as to why this is sorta weird is telling

So she can't draw the one she grew up with just because a black version now exists? Christ yourl people deserve the hate you get

I was with you up until that last sentence, NOBODY deserves to be hated just cuz they are black.

[Don't want hate? Don't steal white culture. But hey, stealing is the only thing your race is good at.](https://(https://twitter.com/Attemptnumber4/status/1664484905798057985?t=yTJDLC5F-LA6DvpzTUKL2Q&s=19)

Its just a mermaid bro, touch grass chud

:#marseyhesright:


This screams anti blackness

This screams stupidity and lacking of father figure. Also mental r-sluration

:#marseymanysuchcases:

When it comes to adults talking about kids cartoons


gorgeous art but how is ops post weird

Thank you! just my opinion no shade ❤️

The way your opinion is definitely shade and you’re trying to act wholesome bout it while avoiding the question lol

stop projecting and cope

you're a piece of shit lmao praying for your downfall 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽


So apparently twitter freaks harassed an artist for drawing Ariel as she is in the 1989 movie. Thanks for letting me know that "representation" isn't about representing blacks, but maliciously taking something away from whites. Enjoy your sloppy seconds, Disney mutants.

"blacks" and "whites" yeah this dude for sure is a right winger, disgusting

So what would you use instead?

Slurs

True. He didn't say "YT people" to be dismissive while typing "Black" as if it's a proper noun.


Even on an alt account i still can't escape this dumbass discourse this app is so butt

I feel that

These r-slurs are actually saying the new movie is closer to the book than the animated one.

Both are so far off that it’s not even the same story. The book was dark and fricked up.

“Ariel” is 15, the mermaid wasn’t named, Mermaids have no souls, she felt the pain of knives walking on land, she doesn’t get the prince, she considers murdering him and letting his blood drip on her feet so that she can return to the sea, decides not to and dies by turning into sea foam.

(She does get reborn for her sacrifice and has the chance to earn a soul, though.)

These people are literally r-slurred. This is what happens when life is too easy. It’s only going to get worse, too.

Also bonus sneed:

I would agree, but u whitewashed so many Asian characters in the past that i know u full of shit. 💀

Motherlovers still sneeding over Anna and the King. I’m sure theres a billion Chinese and Indian adaptations of western stories with Chinese or Indian actors for in place of europeans.

xhe linked to some wiki article which has r-slurred examples like this:

A Beautiful Mind:

In the biographical film about John Nash, actress Jennifer Connelly plays Alicia Nash, who was born in El Salvador.

A link to the wikipedia page shows a white lady. Truly a travesty.

Also, based:

The film about card counting features actors Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Jacob Pitts and Kevin Spacey in the lead roles. The film is based on the true story where a group of Asian American students and their teacher applied card counting to win significantly in gambling.[4][16][17][18][19] Jeff Ma, who was among the students, said that the controversy was "overblown" and that the important aspect is that a talented actor would portray him.[20] Ma, who is Chinese American, told USA Today, "I would have been a lot more insulted if they had chosen someone who was Japanese or Korean, just to have an Asian playing me."[21]
