Yet they continue to make the same bad decision all in the name of pushing an agenda rather than providing entertainment. Defending a bad decision is a bad decision. Quote

I don’t even care why they did it or if it was bad for business. Why do you care that a mermaid was made to have black skin? Quote

(You probably wouldn’t have a problem with a green mermaid though…. hmm….) I’m just fascinated why social conservatives put such importance on a non-existent mermaid being white. Are you this upset when Jesus is depicted as white, rather than His actual skin colour? Groovy. I'm sick and tired of Tweenkies who virtue signal constantly. I asked you what the point of this was. I also asked what colour Alexander Hamilton was. You've answered neither. The obvious point of it all was to see how many "evil white people" this warping and mugging of history and tradition, would be upset. To p1ss people off. To divide people.

What about 'Snow White'? Quote

If they think it’ll sell, then they should go for it. Yes they can do whatever they like but they aren't in the business of losing money. The nitwits at Disney thought virtue signaling sells tickets. Clearly it doesnt. There wasnt any good reason to slap black face on a fictional character. What reason other than virtue signaling could they have had for doing it? Quote

impartialobserver Posted January 17, 2024 Report Posted January 17, 2024 Who cares if the decision to have a black person play Ariel was not successful? If you do not like it... do not watch it. Money talks.. really, it does. The bottom line which is created by watching it or not.. is the motivating factor in the long run. 1 Quote

Write a different story that includes a black mermaid. Slapping black face on this one is a cheap promotional stunt which apparently no one bought into. Plus the black mermaid went around all the media outlets mocking the original story. It wasn't just the black face it was all the other woke BS they put into it. She was just the tip of the iceberg. 1 Quote

How do you tell whether the mermaid was made black to appeal to a new audience, or to “virtue signal”? Do you just assume virtue signalling whenever something is made to be more “inclusive”? In other words…. under what circumstances would the black mermaid be ok for you? 1 hour ago, OftenWrong said: Yep. Amazing to see how little fella is missing the point here.
