The modern version of the old person screaming at kids on the sidewalk is the kook watching whack job media screaming about how diversity, wokeness and transgender people are making his life miserable!

..making his/her/its life miserable, Jarod.

Anything but "their" used as a singular.

Since fish-broads don't actually exist, as far as we know, I would concur that imaginary ones could be any color the screenwriter wants to make them.

One of my favorite movies as a kid was Ocean's Eleven starring the Rat Pack.

Frank and the boys defined the term "cool" for me, and I watched the film so many times that I could recite the entire dialogue as the actors spoke their lines.

Decades later, George Clooney and Brad Pitt remade Ocean's Eleven and it was entirely different.
But nobody confiscated my copy of the original version, and to tell the truth,
I liked the remake also, albeit not as much.

The fish-broad movie must have been considered far more socially significant for the reaction to a remake to have been that volatile.
Since it was a fish-broad movie, however, I do wonder why.

It's not that Ariel is black it's that she was established as a white character and they changed her simply for political reasons.

She was always white, if they wanted her black they should have made her black to begin with.

Now Disney is making the live version of Snow White an Hispanic girl and she's never been Hispanic and they also removed the dwarves and made them into adults for political reasons.

If you create a history with a character you should keep that history, the message they are sending is that they no longer like white characters.

And this has ruined your life how?

Why does variation upset you so much?

Why remake something if you are going to keep it exactly the same?

Who gives a shit, they aren’t forcing you to watch it are they?

Because nobody is going to watch it and they will lose money and since I own a large amount of Disney stock it means their stock price may drop further meaning I lose money.

The mermaid movie made 545 million…, pretty good for a remake.

Arguably the controversy increased awareness of the would be sleeper and brought in more money than it would have. I would never have heard of it without the controversy.
 
The real problem with the idea of having to include diversity and inclusion in everything is that it is forcing a fake narrative, or one that detracts from the story on it. Taken to it's logical, and absurd, conclusion, Disney should have included some fat mermaids, ugly mermaids, etc., in the mix to show their dedication to inclusion and diversity. It all takes a story and just destroys it.

But that's how the Left rolls. They have the crapper touch...

Movies are not politics. They're just trying to make money from entertainment.

It's at 414 million on a 250 million budget.

Nobody has to include diversity, Disney simply chooses to do so.

And they are raking money in by doing so.

21st century conservatism isn't a serious political ideology.

They don't have any of their own original and independent policy ideas.

It's a grievance and resentment psychology.

All they do is complain about what Democrats are doing.

The last time message board conservatives enthusiastically proposed and defended their own policy position was when they hollered at me that invading Iraq was going to be an awesome idea.
