As one of the comments on the site says:
"Well, at least something good came out of this."
The problem with the entire "Woke" movement is that it is an attempt at blatant propaganda.
Men (especially white, heterosexual men) must be depicted as buffoons, inept, or evil. Watch commercials for 10 minutes, and this become so apparent it is almost laughable.
Minorities must be depicted as morally and intellectually superior.
The original Little Mermaid story was a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Anderson. The story is entirely European (especially Nordic) in background, culture, and interpretation.
The 1989 Disney film depicted Arial as a flaming redhead. For over 30 years, people around the world have embraced the character and enjoyed the production. The casting of Ms. Bailey, who is no doubt a talented young woman, was an in-your-face and blatant "woke" push that mocks Disney fans of the original movie and story.
When some fans objected to the casting, the "RACISM" cry went out immediately to squash dissent.
No one bemoans people of all races and backgrounds in films. However, to forcibly inject "Woke" into films to this degree is akin to being forced to endure a mandatory 2 hour company "Diversity" lecture by SJW goons.
I would ask them: for the sequel to the Marvel Black Panther film, would you object to a blonde white man playing the part?
Of course they would.
"Woke" is in the same vein as Nazi and Communist propaganda. Any film, book, opera, concert, or poem that was "Anti-National Socialist" had to be banned or burned.
In Mao's China and Communist Soviet Union, the same was true for anything that was "Counter-Revolutionary."
No thanks Disney.
