Casting a brown skinned woman as Snow White will never not be silly.
It's similar to Jack Reacher, it's made very clear in the books he's a tall, physically intimidating person. And they cast Tom Cruise to play him.
Grown men having strong opinions on how Disney Princesses should look will never not be silly.
There's no reason for it to matter to them.
"Strong Opinions", or just find it ridiculous?
I'm sure there's a few that were upset, but I think most people were just amused.
who gives a piss, like genuinely
beyond her name, is there any reason why snow white should be white?
and, like, even then. "brown skinned". Zegler is super pale, you’re just mad she’s not a WASP
anyways fuuuuuck disney for a bunch of reasons, but "casting POC for traditionally white roles" is not one of them.
In that case no human fits the description, not even albinos who are more pink than "white as snow".
Well, apart maybe from black metal artists.
Even the tale is perfect. Witchcraft, hate, murder, life in the forest, fantasy dwarves, a tomb, and torture. It hardly gets more black metal than that.
I'd watch that.
Would be better if they actually made new movies with different cultures stories instead of just remaking the old shit too.
They do this outrage bait on purpose though. American society is brain rotted and we need a cause to support or hate. Even in children's movies.
She, famously, has no idea how humans live. She is culturally distinct from the Europeans on the coast.
She has more in common with the fish that she speaks to. She's basically a magic dolphin.
Meanwhile, the people in the OP image are humans (to my knowledge, I'm not a nerd). Humans who have lived in the human world with human pasts full of human culture which give context to their characterization. I'm sure their background stories matter to their fans.
Nobody argues about what color the scales on Ariel's tail should be.
I'll defer to your delphine expertise. Although Snow White is the one that really got me, she's explicitly described in the text, her snow white skin is her primary physical characteristic.
Don't get me wrong, I am upset about the others, or at least as upset as is reasonable for the ethnicities of fictional characters. But consistency is consistency. I'd rather see more stories from diverse cultures than arbitrary race-switching.
no, that illustration apparently came 12 years later
anyway as an 1800s fairy tale for children, imo i think it's fine to view it through the lens of whichever culture you want. the trouble imo begins when trying to ascribe something to the story which it certainly did not contain - even that is probably basically harmless if you're just confused or something, but it certainly becomes a problem when it's used to justify unfairly shitting on someone else for a slightly different yet completely harmless alternative depiction.
Oh it’s even worse than that: they hate live action Ariel because she's “ugly”
sex+race racism is horrifically nasty, yet more common and more “accepted” in my experience.
Also, I will leave this here:
Fortunately, it’s just hypothetical, that live action doesn’t actually exist…

The big panel is a bit clearer:
Basically the original heroes were vaguely Tibetan (Aang) or dark-skinned Inuit, but for the movie (that doesn't exist) they quite consistently color coded the good guys as white and the bad guys as darker skinned; the total opposite.
Aang is the Avatar, he's like the protaganist/Chosen One hero.
You should watch the cartoon, it's great! It's like really great.
do you remember the original animated "Lion King"?
all the voice actors for the Hyenas were black stereotypes...
Would they today, though?
I feel like there would be conservative 'backlash against backlash' over racebending cast.
They were like we wanted to swap the gender but we’re worried a strong Asian lady would be too Dragon Lady Stereotype. Like fuck off and cast Michelle Yeoh, she would have nailed it.
They also wanted to cut Wong, like WTF? Though ultimately making him a peer/equal instead of a servant was a great change.
How dare they cast the role of Caribbean princess as a young black girl? /s

turning a ginger character black
iirc, a lot of the times in old media creators would use red-haired people as stand-in for minorities, basically if they wanted to make a character BIPOC, but the studio wouldn’t let them, they’d make them red-haired instead
got this from hearsay so take it with a grain of salt. but if it’s true, it’s nice that the original visions can be fulfilled now!
(and even if it’s not true, more BIPOC in movies is never a bad thing, even if it comes at the cost of red-haired characters, which whatever it’s not like we’re systematically oppressed)
edit: also I’ll note that Ariel is still red-haired in the remake
it's even worse than that cos the original text never said ariel's human version race, they just assumed it lol.
and before anyone says yes but its written by a dane, my response is yes but it's a fairy tale, anything is possible. why assume and then get angry based on your assumption?

I don't know if anyone outside Australia knows Fern Gully... But anyway, years ago, watching that movie with friends I casually suggested that possibly fairies in Australia would more likely be indigenous looking than white, and got told off for "making everything political". And by migrant friends.
One of whom used to get quite offended at any implication that they were anything other than Australian.
It's a damn movie. Cast whoever is gonna play the character best. I don't care of brothers and sisters were different or if men played women or women player men.
But I'm used to the theater were roles don't have such a large talent pool.
More so, stop casting people just for their name.
I remember having an argument about the little mermaid movie years ago; the guy was complaining that a black lady was cast and I had to ask: "what do you care? You're not gonna watch it"; he looked stunned for a second and then said "yeah but still....", to which I had to reiterate "WHAT DO YOU CARE? YOU'RE NOT GONNA WATCH IT!"
Like why are grown men complaining about it at all?! We're not the target demographic!
Tom Cruise wasn't the last samurai in that film. He witnessed the last samurai, Katsumoto, played by Ken Watanabe.
It's confusing because Tom Cruise is on all the posters.
I get the point of the meme and all that, but that whole thing about calling out Scarlet Witch for being played by someone that’s white is kinda troublesome to me.
Wanda’s dad is Magneto, a Jewish white guy. Her mom isn’t mentioned much but she’s Romani, which is its own ethnicity; and ethnicity is not a skin tone.
Yeah Romani in Western Europe are often white passing or straight up white, and mircrakagovia or wherever they are from is quite obviously an eastern Europe analogue.
Scarlet witch is probably white, maybe a bit swarthy
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanda_…
Wanda is depicted as a Sokovian refugeeSokovia (Соковиja, Sokovija) is a fictional landlocked country in Eastern Europe that is the home of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, as well as Helmut Zemo.

I am white but I sit on a board of directors for a majority-black arts org, the founder who is a black woman uses the term African-American.
Not wanting to speak for anyone, but it's probably a mix of your age, social class, background, culture and context that may affect that choice.
I'm sorry, but romani is just another word for white. If we make Italians and Greeks white, then romani are white too.
I know it's hard to keep track of every different eurotrash breed, but please make an effort in the future
Hmmm.... I do mind that they look the part so you can at least recognize them.
Avatar the last airbender movie was the worst offender of this,
because at least one cast member looked like another character from the show.
So the 1st one I have no issue with.
2nd needs a tan and spraying his hair to gray/white,
5th needed more red hair like this:

I don't know from which movies they are but

#4 is a no.

Questions after coming from Lemmy
Hi folks,
I was using Lemmy for the better part of two years and thought I'd come over to piefed and see what's up. A few things puzzled me and I'm hoping this is the best place to ask.
- It seems all top level comments are locked for replies - is that a server thing? A federation thing?
- Scrolling through All, the content just... stops. I'm using the Boost client (maybe that's why?). I get it if I'm sorting by top hour - there's only so much posted per hour. But it's the same for Hot, Scaled, Active, etc.
Edit: looks like both of these are issues with the Boost client. Switching to Summit on Android resolves both.
Thanks for the help!
- I don't see this. Can I get a link to an example?
- Is your only experience so far usiing the Boost client?
Sorry about that. Piefed just had a new version release last week and part of that included some changes to the api that mobile clients use. Boost has been a bit slower to update than some of the others. It's unfortunate really, because Boost is my favorite mobile app for lemmy, but the updates can be slow. The good news is that we aren't planning any more breaking changes to the api going forward, so once Boost is updated, it should continue working.
As an aside, I would also recommend trying piefed as a PWA. It is my preferred way of using it on a mobile device.
Hi, welcome.
The locked comments thing is a bug in Boost. I don't know why All would stop like that, it shouldn't do.
There are many other apps you can try too - piefed.social/post/1258559
I don’t know why All would stop like that, it shouldn’t do.

I recently went down the rabbithole of trying to find live sports streaming through IPTV and gave up on it for now.
Not sure if you’ve already seen rentry’s list of free IPTV sources, but that might help a little.
The problem with paid IPTV providers is that if they’re easy to find, they’re easy to take down — so anything you can find through a search is probably a scam or will be short-lived.
Your best bet is forums like TechKings, where users conduct subscription sales over DMs. I didn’t really want to bother with all of that, but your might be motivated enough to! Sounds like the most common advice is to only subscribe month by month to services to avoid losing money if the provider shuts down or ends up being a scam.

Feds Disappear Trans People from “LGBT”
The Trump administration’s war on diversity has a new casualty, removing the “T” (for “transgender”) from “LGBT” in its internal threat reports, according to copies I’ve obtained.
Two federal intelligence reports warning of threats to Pride Day events in June make repeated reference to the dangers to the “LGB+ community” with no mention whatsoever of transgender people. This comes amid the Trump administration’s campaign to capitalize on the death of Charlie Kirk to wage war on transgender suspects as “nihilist violent extremists.”
The sad irony here is that transgender people suffer the highest rate of hate crimes of any group within the LGBT community, underscoring how strange it is to omit them from reports intended to enhance public safety.
Adoption of the “LBG+” acronym has been observed in several other federal agencies since Trump took office, including, as I reported at the time, the State Department. The use of the term by the national security state has not been previously reported.
