New York Times reviewer bemoans absence of 'kink' in Disney children's movie
American Thinker ^ | 05/29/2023 | Monica Showalter

A New York Times reviewer criticized Disney's new children's movie, The Little Mermaid, because it lacked — are you ready? — "kink."

According to BizPacReview:

Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid" is a dud, according to one woke critic.

It's "everything nobody should want in a movie," wrote Wesley Morris for The New York Times, "dutiful and defensive, yet desperate for approval. It reeks of obligation and noble intentions."

What the film, starring singer Halle Bailey, needed, according to Morris, is more "kink."

"Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor, kink — they're missing," he stated.

How'd that get past the editors?

And what, exactly, did this guy have in mind?  Whips and chains?  "Sex" with dogs?  "Sex" with men in dog costumes?  Fisting?  Throuples?

He seems to have forgotten that this was a children's movie, unless that of course is what he thinks belongs in a children's movie.

We know that in his justification of such remarks, he considered kinkiness something that makes him laugh.

"The movie is saying, 'We tried!'" Morris's opening paragraph continued, as though he hadn't just said that the children's film wasn't kinky enough for his liking. "Tried not to offend, appall, challenge, imagine. A crab croons, a gull raps, a sea witch swells to Stay Puft proportions: This is not supposed to be a serious event. But it feels made in anticipation of being taken too seriously. Now, you can't even laugh at it."

”…dutiful and defensive, yet desperate for approval. It reeks of obligation and noble intentions."

Sounds like a review of the reviewer.

You do realize what globalhomo is right?

Not homosexuality but homogeneity.

No local flavor, no local customs nothing but one big, bland, dull world of infertile serfs.

The song Imagine but also with no families, no friends, no relationships.

How ever bad you think their plan is, it is far worse.

It is enslavement and isolation on a scale that has never been seen before.

Sounds like he and the rest of the NYT have been handed over to a reprobate mind.

Reprobation is spiritual psychopathy/ sociopathy and the clinical description is found in Rom. 1:18-32 and II Tim.
3:1-5.

The only way to protect our children and ourselves is to avoid those who manifest this pathology.

I have called them the New York Slimes for decades—good to see they are living up to their name.

It is just a matter of time before the editorial board publicly supports pedophilia.
