If you want accuracy, then it has to be it all the way, take out the Greek lore, Jamaican Crab, and make them speak Danish, and perhaps maybe there will be substance to it. Do that, and then I can agree.
LOTR Rings of Power in a Nutshell
I mean Irish are just white negroids according to the British when they sent them to America
You are literally ignoring that much like how Ariel is a redhead, the crab was originally played with a Jaimaican voice. Both should remain the same way. If you think itâs okay to just change any part of a character design to own the people you dislike, then somebody should make a white Storm in the X-Men.
Character design has no meaning anymore, go fucking wild.
What do you think is the purpose of casting? I know youâre on this âgive everyone a chanceâ shtick.
If they casted a fat woman with a british accent as body positive Ariel, yes - itâs still therefor wrong.
Even if you say its revenge for the lack of fat british women in film in the 80âs.
Wait hold on, arenât you about accuracy? If so then there is no such thing as Jamaicans or Greeks in a Danish area, and speaking Danish, during that time period huh, so then why have them? The topic is about accuracy after all, so either you are confused or are being dishonest. Since this is Disneyâs telling of the Little Mermaid and THEIR version of it, they are simply telling a different version of the same story they originally made a version of. So do you see where Iâm going with this?
This is the part where you tell everyone mermaids donât exist.
Thatâll show em
Having a fucking accent, for an anthromorphic animal no less, is leagues different then changing the fucking design & ethnicity of an established character. Hell Ariel as an animated figure couldâve been voiced by a Black woman for all we care and it wouldnât matter because a voice is a fucking voice. James Earl Jones plays Mufasa & Darth Vader. Keith David is the fucking Arbiter.
Stop being a dishonest & racist POS and get off your arse and call all race swaps out as equally bad.
If you are all about the star power of the cast, Big actors > Small actors, then wouldnât this defeat your argument? If the role fits then why care right? This is your argument, not mine.
Yeah, they donât and they existed in different cultures, including Africa such as the njuzu in Zimbabwe. So yeah black mermaids exist and mermaids donât exist. Nothing new.
Not at all, it means they are coded as POCs. They make the character come to life in the way we know. Mufasa and Darth Vader wouldnât be Mufasa and Darth Vader without James Eral Jones, and Spawn wouldnât have had that memorable power if it wasnât for Keith David. They made the characters, through them. Of course it has to be accurate, otherwise it would alienate everything that they established. Again, accuracy that everyone claims to be defending, but lets have some exceptions instead?
Coding is a fucking new age term for stereotype. Drop that coding BS before somebody gets smacked upside the head. Anybody who talks about coding just wants a progressive sounding way to talk about stereotypes.
Stop, now that is a complete reach and I would like some kind of evidence to back this up if this is true. Also, the Lion King takes place in Africa, Mufasa is a African name, with a black voice actor behind him, how is this not coded as a POC character and where is the negative stereotype of this that you claim? All I see is a wise king who is a loving father and cares for his people and died saving his son.
Iâll be wanting for sources
No it isnât. You have gone so far up your own ass to come off as progressive youâve looped back around to being a bigot. As a sexual & ethnic minority I reject this shit entirely & calling you out for it.
And another fucking thing. Nobody is talking about historical accuracy, that canât exist in mermaid fiction to begin with, people want the character DESIGN to be the same. The original design is a redhead, s they should be played by a redhead when bringing them into live action.
My fucking icon, is a half-egyptian, half-japanese woman. If she was ever to be played officially in life action, I would DEMAND it be by an actual half-egyptian, half-japanese actress. And I would refuse anything less.
Because despite the existence of star power you still have to suspend the audienceâs disbelief or they have to be completely unaware of the source material.
The more iconic the character the more youâre going to take the audience out of the film once you start making massive changes to the design, like turning Wesker into Blade.
Which is why you spray paint your white genghis khan and prince of persia. Is it coming together yet?

Also the fucking irony in making Wesker of all characters Black is surely astronomical. I mean the dude is a LITERALLY a tall, white blonde with blue eyes who talks about genetics & killing off the impure & weak. He fucking INVADES Africa in 5 for fuck sake. Did all meaning just jump over everybodyâs head?
what does this even? youâre on some orcs are code for ethnic minorities shit.
Has anyone heard the name Musfasa prior to Lion King?

Still waiting on sources for these claims that coding is a progressive sounding way to talk about stereotypes and somehow Mufasa is a stereotype.
Mufasa isnât coded by anything, so when you say you see him as coded that tells me you wanna talk about stereotypes. Because thatâs all Coding is. Itâs a new way to word stereotype.
Sources, where is it? Canât just speak without something of substance to back your claim. I already spoke about Mufasaâs character so what and where are these stereotypes that you speak of?
None because I donât see him as a stereotype. I donât see him as coded. Because Coding & Stereotype is the same fucking thing.
Explain and with sources please
I already explained his character and there is nothing negative about him so either you are confused or purposely painting me wrong and Iâm not having that.
My source is every normal motherfucker I speak to looks in disgust when some little ponce turns around & starts talking about âCodingâ. My Source is me, as a Bi man, getting fucking angry when people say something is Bi Coded. My Source is my other ethnic friends telling little college students to take a fucking hike when they say something is âBlackâ or âHispanicâ Coded.
