Making Little Mermaid and Tinkerbell black feels like a corporate decision, it's a way to market the movie to race and gender obsessed teenagers on social media. This is ultimately the problem more than the race swapping itself, that these IP movies are safe artificial meat.

I don’t know, I’d prefer to skip it and still complain.

... where the hell is the trailer for this

The people who hate on the Little Mermaid being black were not going to go see a Disney movie regardless. It might have a negative impact on the OS gross, but as far as DOM goes I'm doubtful.

Yes, this (...mostly.) Disney is pandering to this generation, not indoctrinating them. They're not casting black actors to push an agenda, they're doing it because Black Panther made 1.5 billion dollars.

Black Panther also only made 1.2 billion lol.

And lots of entirely white casts have made more haha. So while black characters adds a certain appeal, it’s not the most lucrative type.

It is lucrative. It's easy to forget it beat Infinity War in the same year. Domestically

I can understand if a company is pushing obvious messaging and ideas, etc., in their movies, but simply having gay characters (or any other minority) exist in them is a problem the viewer has themselves, not Disney or any other company. There's not even any real plot that revolve around the sexuality of the characters in these movies. Strange World is the closest and it's literally a dude expressing he has a crush on another dude and nothing more.

The "definition" of Woke has lost its meaning if Lightyear and Strange World are considered as such...

They simply feature gay characters. The lead in Strange World expresses interest in another guy for maybe a minute in total of the movie?

It's very unusual, abnormal, to get upset simply seeing people.

Makes me wonder how a movie like Mrs. Doubtfire, Boys Don't Cry, Edge of Seventeen, or the loads of other older movies would be perceived if released today. People would be crying "Woke", I presume. Probably even for movies or shows released not so long ago like Orange is the New Black too.
