Welp, the very thought of Hollywood going full Hollywood and potentially injecting an overload of SJW bullshit into this story is going to ensure not only the fans tune in, but random internet warriors on both sides of the subject ready to flame away at the unwashed heathens on the other side. I'd say they're getting exactly what they wanted here. [Reply]

A black kid plays Kristoff in a play at Disney World in Orlando.

I wasn't on the board eight years ago, dipstick. So you would have no idea what I did or didn't say.
I didn't even know that movie existed until now.
That being said, idiotic casting.
My apologies for wanting to keep characters consistent. Kristoff is white. I don't want to see a white Tiana either. But I would bet $100 dollars if Disney had a white Tiana, the SJWs would burn down the park. Double standards. [Reply]

And LOL at getting butthurt over seeing a black guy play Kristoff in a play at Disney World.
This is just a case of you seeing what you want to see and ignoring what you don't to fit the narrative.
Whitewashing in film has been a thing for-****ing-ever.
And you admitted to not even knowing about the Exodus movie! So clearly you would agree that there was no outrage when a pasty white dude was cast in the role of a minority, yes?

Let's not compound errors with errors.
Common sense, really. But you and your groupies want double standards and revenge.
:-) Bruv, I don't give a shit about revenge. That's dumb as fuck. I linked multiple examples of whitewashing within the last couple years. Contemporary movies. It is still happening now and you are blind to it. [Reply]

I kept thinking, watching the original LOTR movies, that it was shocking to me that they never had Tilda Swinson play an elf. They are the most androgynous characters in Middle Earth. [Reply]
