I see you’re having a little trouble with reading comprehension and…apparently geography too so lemme help you out.
1) Danes aren’t from Norway. They’re from Denmark which is a completely different country.
2) I’m not on the right. If you’re going to make assumptions about me, I’ll make twice as many about you.
3) I know it doesn’t make sense. In fact, I said that exact same thing just the other day.
Just to elaborate a bit here.
3) I don’t like double standards. Many of the people who cause a ruckus over whitewashing and cultural appropriation are the same ones making all the “Lol white people mad” comments now.
See: The complaints about the cast of Aladdin (an originally Chinese tale, mind you) being whitewashed.
I see two people who are white. Two. Out of how many? And one of them isn’t actually shown in the film. He’s voicing one of the non-human characters.
And……..none of them are Chinese.
4) Disney has been butchering other people’s creations for decades without so much as a nod to the original creators, or the cultures they take them from. That’s one reason why I do not like them and haven’t liked them for years. But as far as being offended, Disney has done a lot worse than pander for a quick cash grab so I’d hardly put this at the top of the list.
5) I didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday so can we stop pretending this has anything to do with representation?
6) I want to see more Asian, Native American, and disabled female characters. They are all wildly underrepresented (even more so than black characters), but I will not accept this lazy trend of race-bending, gender-bending, and appropriated stories taken from other creators.
7) I’m not interested in “claiming” already-established characters, or “getting back” at other demographics. That’s not what representation is about.
8) Complaining about people who criticize a corporation that only cares about raking in huge profits with the least amount of effort is not a good look. Children deserve better than sloppy seconds (and exploitative slave labor).
9) But hey, maybe that’s just me.
10) If you want to fork over your hard-earned money for less than the bare minimum, that’s your choice. But please stop insulting everyone else’s intelligence by trying to convince us that Disney gives a shit about anything other than their bottom line.
11) I mean, look how well they did with their “first openly gay character”. Nope, no pandering there. They totally didn’t get everyone hyped up for the Big Gay Moment™ that turned out to be: “Hey, we’re two men dancing together….by accident! But we’ll go with it….for a whopping two seconds! Wow, this is so gay!!!”
