This art is so pretty, but the op got harassed by people on Twitter calling her a racist for not drawing the live action Halle Bailey version of the Little Mermaid and accused her of only liking the version of her being white, which is a really odd assumption

Makes me really upset that she got harassed just for making a drawing of the animated movie version of the Little Mermaid.

Ironic if people are actually complaining about that, because the whole movie exists solely to push more merch, and 50% of the merch being pushed is white Ariel. We have a whole "little mermaid" section set up in the front of target and it's a mix of both ariels, sometimes together

i keep thinking about that thing where disney casts minorities not for representation but because it makes them exempt from criticism because peoppe will not score the movies too low or they'll be cancelled for being racist

 

[The Dashing Darknut]

Yeah that’s the thing

I think it’s great that little girls who are black can look at the character and go “she looks just like me!”, but at the same time I doubt Disney really cares about the actor or the amount of hate she’s faced

 

[Fraxinus]

they subject tbem to harassment and dont do anything to support them. they really dont care

i dont have a problem with the casting choices for the film, but its disney's scumminess that makes me so irritated like... this girl is very talented and deserves better

 

[Fraxinus]

wish they'd just do some more 2d princess films but that does require more originality and they want that easy money

Yeah that’s the thing

The first league of legends character to "look just like me" wasn't even white lol
People say representation matters for this reason but I can't even understand that

 

[Fraxinus]

anytime anyone potentially ace is represented in media, the gays decide the reason theyre not in a relationship is because theyre a closeted gay

That, and it's probably done also as a publicity stunt. Trashy live action mermaid movie? No one cares. Race swapped mermaid movie? Everyone loses their minds, even though the actual movie is probably the same boring garbage it would have been anyway.

 

[Fraxinus]

yeah... and in a way thats kind of objectification and thats super scummy

 

[Link&Midna]

I heard zootopia 2 was announced
Apparently there's a large group of people who believe Nick and Judy were legit a thing at the end of the first movie, but I can't really interpret their relationship that way because they're straight up different species, I guess if they were the same species there's a lot of stuff that *could* have been seen as romantic tension, but I refuse to believe disney was going for that.

 

[Fraxinus]

why does everything have to be romantic? there are other types of bonds people can form

also yeesh to people implying romance has to mean theyre ****ing, if theh really wanted to ship them romantiy, it doesnt mean they have to have a physical relationship especially if theyre different species (also technjcally its a kids movie??)

they could just cuddle >:(

people exhaust me lmao

reminds me... i have couple concept for my game; an elm sawfly and a bald faced hornet are a married couple and they have a son... but the catch is, male hymenopterans are only biologically related to their mothers (cuz they develop from unfertilized eggs) so the son is a sawfly too
