Snow White and the depressing culture war over Disney’s ‘woke’ remake
The Guardian ^ | 11/3/23 | Ben Child

Posted on 11/26/2023 11:59:58 AM PST by DallasBiff

Two years away from release, the film is already mired in controversy and confusion, with one US channel even making its own anti-woke rival movie. Is this revamp really needed?

Disney’s live action take on the classic 1937 animation Snow White won’t be hitting multiplexes until at least 2025 thanks to the recent writers’ strike, so you might wonder why the studio has chosen this week to publish a first still of the famous princess surrounded by her seven faithful Disney’s live action take on the classic 1937 animation Snow White won’t be hitting multiplexes until at least 2025 thanks to the recent writers’ strike, so you might wonder why the studio has chosen this week to publish a first still of the famous princess surrounded by her seven faithful homunculi.

The original Snow White movie is one of my all time favorites. Fond memories. The woke BS has to stop.

The WOKE crowd doesn’t get ‘sad’ they turn into bullies when they don’t get their way.

It used to be first run movies competed with other first run movies coming out the same time. Then they had to compete with TV. Then cable TV.

Ever since the VCR (let alone the internet), first run movies have to compete with every other movie ever made.

Yet they stay in business.

This whole article is hilarious! I had to look again to see that it was from the Guardian.

Dinklage to Hollywood's dwarf community. "I got mine! F*** you!"

what is a "homunculi"?

A midget.

You are not allowed to use midget anymore but it means the exact same thing. A human of normal proportions that is much smaller then normal.

Dwarfism, which is occasionally used interchangeably and incorrectly, is the result of genetic abnormalities and they often has health problems. A midget usually just has a malfunction of the pituitary gland. It has been treatable with HGH since the 80s which is why you rarely see midgets anymore in developed countries.

It’s what happens when Dad’s ne’er-do-well brother comes by so often, he might as well live there.

I don’t know, I think most short people would be rather called dwarf or midget, rather than “homunculi”, sounds like a homosexual flower.

That photo with the new Snow White and her Drawfs looks creepy. The Drawfs are not supposed to be bigger than Snow White. Looks like they’re ganging up on her. They are very clearly manufactured animations, covered in chalky, dusty tones, while she is a 3D young woman in sharp focus.

I usually have my volume off while scrolling about, unless some interesting YouTube needs to be both seen and heard. I don’t know what the New Snow White sounds like, what kind of background music. Probably something distracting, cloying, annoying or PC.

They probably would but no one asked them about it.

It is like all the other name changes they have done in the past 80 years. No one asked the actual people involved how they felt about it. The people who work in the collages and who run the government bureaucracies decided.

And once it gets into the APA style book that is what you will be called.

You can’t have a white Snow White anymore—that would be racist. And you can’t have small dwarves, or any dwarves at all—that would be racist. You can’t have fun either—that’s racist. European folk lore and mythology is also too... European. Too western-centric and doesn’t glorify cultural diversity enough. Sorry Men of the West, but your entire history and culture must be sacrificed upon the alter of inclusiveness.

Not just pretty. Beautiful inside and out. That’s why the evil queen is so jealous of her.
