#toonzle

Tive um ótimo dia e muito obrigada (⁠ ⁠//╹w╹⁠// ⁠)

I feel like white people really like to confuse cultural appropriation with appreciation, and they want to fetishize because to some degree they benefit from it by looking #socultured and worldly while grossly taking into their own hands what they think a given culture is. I feel like they're just mad we don't take it as a compliment and they're saying we can't take a compliment well when they're refusing to realize that it's not a compliment.

Yea for real. It has everything to do with race because that's the culture they decided to fetishize. Like if there were white backup dancers in the same exact video I'd still probs call it cultural appropriation bc let's be real the entire existence of that video reeks of it, but it'd lose the objectification of minority women aspect I suppose.

First of all I am very sorry if that offended anyone's sensitivity, that wasn't my intention. The goal of the Page to Screen installments is to juxtappose the show to the books and show how the original was translated to screen, often offering a critique rather than a praise. Also, I am going to use that scene as raw footage from now on, because that's what I have, and I am gonna use that for gifs and graphics, but I in no way condone what that scene depicted. Like, that's why I didn't gif the scene as it was,with the dialogue and all: to me that scene is nothing but footage to be used in the perspective of the books. I feel like this is a disclaimer that needs to be made. I don't use that scene as it was in the show, I use it to convey the original message. If that's offending to anyone I am sorry, but that's what we got and I am going to use it for my own needs. I am as outraged as the rest of you for what happened there, possibly more, trust me; but I gotta make do no matter how much I hated it. So yeah, basically I didn't mean to make it look like the scene was in any way coherent with the text in the books, if anything it was the opposite, to make it obvious that they fucked up! But again, I am really sorry if that came off the wrong way, so my apologies for that. :)

As it is stated in the caption is a "page to screen" gifset, it means the words are from the books and it actually stop when it became...well, rape. Most of the people that follow this blog have read the books, we are not spoiler free, it means we reblog stuff up to A Dance with Dragons, our followers know that and we don't need to write that down anywhere, they already know what the context is. And I know for sure those people were more than pissed off this morning. In the books it wasn't rape and our followers know that too. What do I think? I reblogged this on my blog and I agree with Fran 100%. I'm disappointed and angry, but I also have the feeling they don't care what we, as fans, think of this? It's their adaptation, the only thing we can do is not reblog the rape scene as it happened but only reblog gifsets/graphics of the scene that make it look like they are making love, like it really happened in the books. Does it make sense what I'm saying?

thank you, you sweet lil' cookie dough!!!!!!!

and when it comes to racebdning white princesses/characters into other races or cultures, it's acceptable because those stories aren't rooted in a specific culture or place, and because there are so many representations of white and so little of everyone else that it's okay for fanart to express itself through the mediums already in existence. i'm really not sure about POC to POC though, my opinion is just that and sometimes I really like the few altered concepts I've seen. it's a hard call.

I also agree with this. I think the movie would have been better if it was more focused on Anna and Elsa. I mean look at Lilo and Stitch. Nani and Lilo's relationship wasn't the main plot line, but they still included it in. They also told us what happened to their parents and why they're in the situation they are in. There was also the relationship of Nani and David, but they didn't throw it in our faces. I think as far as family/sister love goes, Lilo and Stitch is a better representation of that.
