Okay, so I've yet to see the new live action little mermaid but, I grew up watching the little mermaid, and been obsessed with her since I was young, and my initial reaction to hearing that she was going to be black really upset me (& in no way am I racist, I'm all for the BLM movement, cause tbh ALL LIVES MATTER...) and after reading and seeing a few posts about the movie, there are some things I am kinda excited to see but a few things that really just make me wanna say #fuckdisney...like first of all how in the fuck are they gonna make Vanessa white when Ariel's black, that makes no fucking sense, second of all...scuttle is a fucking seagull who's supposed to be above land, that's the whole reason ariel gets in trouble by her father...like come on, and flounder just looks tweaked out...seriously. Oh, and one last thing...way too go Disney for trying to not be racist by making ariel black, when they already have a black princess to start off with, #princesstiana...
On that note, I will have to officially see the movie to give and make my final judgement, but I was a Disney kid at heart, not sure how happy I am with Disney anymore for this....i am sorry but I had to speak my piece about this, please know I'm the least bit racist, this was just something I grew up watching...like I've seen all 3 movies, & the TV show when I was young, Ariels been one of my obsession for forever, & when my mom (R.I.P. AG) told me they were making a live action little mermaid, I was so excited, & like I said part of me still is, I suppose...but the little mermaid was definitely ruined for me.
