Mate, all due respect but how can you say “don’t see the film if you don’t like it” as a solution to the films making less than projected in the box office? It’s extremely clear to me that it’s not just “going woke” that bothers people, but it is a big factor to it for most people. People won’t see a film they aren’t interested in. That IS a problem for Disney and Bob Eiger has come out to say it publicly that he is worried about Disney losing focus. Agree to disagree. Personally I’m not a massive film guy, so I am not as bothered as I sound about this whole subject but I do have some issues with what Disney and Vice have done.

Maybe it doesn’t bother you but it is a factor that is causing Disney to lose millions of dollars. Fine, change the color of a character or a protagonist, but clearly the way they are going about it isn’t working. Not everyone who chooses to not see the film is automatically a racist. That’s an easy cop out and generalization.

I think that’s just because important world figures like kings and gods have their names translated, something I also find ridiculously stupid. I’m gonna call the queen by her name “Elizabeth”. Not “Isabel” ffs.

Take it easy this is a fun debate

I expressed myself wrong. She was as you said, but they skip everything else in the remake. As for the little mermaid, there is a mention of her race. She’s a white mermaid, unless I am colourblind mate. I’m pretty sure she was white. And believe me movies that whitewash are just as bad as the other side, but it’s much less common with the big hitters at least.

It’s not about it being dangerous or harmful. I don’t think anyone believes Disney do this in a negative light. What I do believe however is that people watch movies to be entertained and disconnect from the world, but it is hard to find that in Disney these days. Some are blended in well, but they repeat the same message EVERY. FUCKING. MOVIE, some people will get tired about it. mind you I know Disney has always repeated formulas, but when it becomes more about sending a political message, people will not take it well.

I think you’re right about that coming from a psychological point of view, but people can definitely spot what is entertainment and what is politics. Disney’s president even said a while back that the company lost its focus.

Before I answer your question properly, I’ll ask another question. The Little Mermaid is a white protagonist. Why do they need to change it just randomly? Just to give another example, Mulan in the original animated film was a shy woman who ended up become strong and independent by the end of the film. In the remake she was a badass from the start. This is why people going woke is making Disney lose millions. That killed off the character development from the original entirely because they wanted to push an agenda. The original wasn’t a masterpiece but from a character development point, it worked.

Mate I think it’s quite clear that they made the protagonist black to send a political message. That’s what people are annoyed at. As with all issues involving racism, there is definitely a group that didn’t see the movie because she was made black, but most who didn’t are annoyed at the political message they are clearly trying to give. If she was made a white man it would be the same deal.

It is 100% an issue. There is no “equal rights” if men are making women uncomfortable or vice versa. It defeats the purpose of femenism. Even if she was joking which I think is most likely, not everyone is going to interpret it like that. It is quite clearly a shocking public statement to make. I will obviously give her a chance as well, as everyone deserves one on a new ground, but calling her an activist while unfair on one end, is what you get when you make those sort of comments in public and push it in your films on another. I disagree with it but most people forget your Oscar’s if they do not maintain a good image with the press.

No it isn’t racist if they don’t want to see the little mermaid. There have been a lot of black protagonists and people wouldn’t boycott. Star Wars is an example, only a racist minority would actually boycott the new trilogy, but most went to see it, and here it’s the same deal. There are racists who’s didn’t go to see it but for most it was for another reason. People didn’t go see the Little Mermaid because it was clear as day the movie was shifted to give a political lesson and not tell an actual story that people will be entertained by.

That is definitely unfair but she does not have a good interview history. https://thatparkplace.com/upcoming-star-wars-director-sharmeen-obaid-chinoy-i-like-to-make-men-uncomfortable-i-enjoy-making-men-uncomfortable/

I don't know what other word to use - but the first point of your post I disagree with strongly. "If you don't like those films", a lot of people don't like those films and that's leading Disney to lose a lot of money. Now, I agree that there are plenty of good films with female, blacks and LGBT's but most of the good ones have a focus on making a good film and not pushing an agenda. The strong independent women cliche has existed since the beginning of time. Alien is an amazing franchise that features one, but that was a natural lead and not ham fisted like Disney are doing, and to be fair even if Disney do ham fist leads, it shouldn't matter too much. It would bother me much, much less if they didn't try to make men look terrible and the outright moral villains, demoralizing us. That literally defeats the equal rights argument. The new director apparently said that she's gonna work hard to make men feel uncomfortable. That is not progressiveness or equal rights, that's called revenge.

I am not a misogynist nor racist nor xenophonic yet I can see a certain agenda pushed against while males. Some people have lost the concept of "equal rights" and "entertainment" in order to push an agenda. Alien, Rush Hour, etc, are examples of strong independent women or black protagonists that are not shoehorned in. So it's not that the public is racist or misogynist that we aren't supporting Disney movies, it's that we're tired of them making those agendas look worse and worse. I think them hiring an activist as a director highlights that perfectly. It's fine to show progressive rights but Disney IMO are doing it the most obvious way possible that doesn't teach any moral rights. What are your opinions?

NASA helping a space agency in Peru make a private investment for a space port in Talara which is a port town very close to the equator. If it was a public investment I wouldn't have any hope but since it isn't, I have a reason to be excited.

Quora can't be fucking real

Quora is a genuine meme.

@Bluebird Hewitt I beat Donkey Kong Country bananaless. You can translate my video to English with the subtitles. It is actually a very accurate translation.
