Woke Disney does it again

[Concart]

You sound like a savvy investor. We have both mutuals and ETFs, along with other things. Between our pensions, social security, and income from investments, we haven't had to touch the principle at all. None of our funds are in Disney either. lol

I was religious about not touching my investment accounts. I put as much as I could in a Roth the first year they were available and took advantage of the five year window to pay the taxes. And I made a couple of informed but lucky decisions. I make way more now than I did when I was working. And most of my income is taxed at the long term capital gains rate. There is something very wrong about that. The hardest thing for me was going from save to spend. But I'm over that now

i guess you're not a fan of the Disney classics...Many people are...

What does that have to do w/ anything?

The classic version is still out there. This is an updated version. What is the big deal?

I can't imagine being outraged over something like this. It doesn't compute for me.

Faux outrage is funny. Especially from a passive aggressive senior citizen. A lot of that going around these days. Almost all of them are in the Trump cult.

So, diversity is a bad thing to many potential Disney customers?

Diversity is fine but changing established characters simply for the sake of diversity is not.

How many kids are going to look at their Snow White and the Seven Dwarves toys and notice they aren't what Disney is portraying anymore?

Same here, and that's combining our two incomes when we were working! We even get refunds every year now. MI used to tax pensions but they dropped that, which saves us a lot.

It does seem strange that working people are taxed at a much higher rate than people living off the proceeds of investments. Should be the other way around, IMO.

Those "kids" are in their 60s now, idjit. lol

Why does diversity bother you so much? Why does changing a character's aspects bother you so much?

Because you are a bigot.

 

[NiftyNiblick]

Not that it really matters, but

how many pretty young Latina girls are "snow white?'

And as for dwarves, isn't it time to bring back "midget" wrestling?

That had me in hysterics when I was a kid in the 50s.

Just for those who are bigots. This thread shows which ones are which.

Snow White fans are as strong today as they were in the 60's.

She is one of the classic princesses.

There was absolutely no reason to change her race.

What was the issue where they felt the need to do that.

And I'm sorry but we don't all look the same.

Would you be ok with a white man portraying Martin Luther King in a movie?

Those who are incensed 1) have little of value going on in their real lives, 2) are conservatards who are enraged and fearful of change, and 3) are the worst of the deplorable MAGAT cultists.

The classical tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves has noSet photos from Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" revealed that the entertainment company has prioritized diversity in casting its characters.

New live-action 'Snow White' dumps seven dwarves for seven multi-racial, mixed-gender 'magical creatures'

It makes one wonder why Disney now hates white people.

OH MY GOD! Yet another MADE UP IMAGINARY STORY FEATURE MADE UP IMAGINARY CREATURES is crafted to represent people Tinker is either scared of or hates having in their vision.

Will the horrors that Disney creates never cease??? They SURE must know that Tinker is SCARED! Don't make scary things for Tinker!

They didn't change her race, Tovarisch. Read your own OP. Gods, can't Putin buy better trolls, or is he farming you guys out to Wagner too?

I personally do not give a shit who they cast in movies, whether they're new or remakes. There are plenty of other things going on in America that are far more concerning to normal people.

Then for fuck's sake DON'T GO TO SEE IT. Geeezus.

Not everyone is white and some people who aren't white actually WANT to see themselves represented in our fiction.

And I'm sorry but we don't all look the same.

Seems you are fighting to make sure that we don't look much different.

Would you be ok with a white man portraying Martin Luther King in a movie?

Do you think MLK Jr. is the same as a made up fantasy princess?

 

[NiftyNiblick]

Who remember the name of each dwarf?

I don't, although Grumpy and Sleepy come to mind.

I'm constantly called the former and presently feel like the latter.

What’s wrong with it? Why are you the judge? Start a movie studio if you feel so strongly about it.

So what if kids know things change? Why are your panties in such a wad?

Just because there are more important things doesn't mean you have to ignore everything else.

Ever heard of multi-tasking.

 

[Jarod]

I've always been crystal clear that race was not my issue with the attempt at the redo...look back at my posts...I've said that many, many times...

It’s the issue for tinker and most Trumppers, if you are being truthful you are the outlier.

Then make new characters of different races but don't change established ones.

Why doesn't Disney make Mulan or Jasmine white girls now in the sake of diversity?

To attract a new market share and make more money.

Milan and jasmine’s race is part of the story. Not so for the mermaid.
