“Of course, this can’t be compared to a tradition” por si no lo leiste, venia en el post. Mi queja iba más dirigida a hacerse de la vista gorda para victimizarse sólo cuando es conveniente. Hablaba de figuritas bootleg, de niños que llevan a la escuela mochilitas con ilustraciones mal impresas de Frozen, de invitaciones de cumpleaños compradas en dulcerias, de playeritas piratas de los Avengers con glitter en todos y cada uno de los mercaditos de nuestro pais. Hablo de hipocresia al decir “es que Disney hace dinero con nuestras tradiciones” cuando todos los días veo gente en mi país haciendose de dinero con el contenido creativo de alguien más sin pagarle nada al creador. 

Are you seriously saying that you’d rather be represented by narcos and lucha libre movies because they are made by Mexicans, but are disgusted by Coco because OMG IT’S THE WHITE MAN AGAIN?

"They tried to brand it” yet I see unauthorized Disney characters painted on businesses’ walls in every street, bootleg movies and merchandise. Obviously all of this cannot be compared to a tradition, therefore it should be enormously overlooked because WHITE PPL HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT WE DO. “El buen juez por su casa empieza”, Mexicans have been profiting from Disney without paying royalties for decades. “It’s stereotypical” There’s a difference between stereotypical and realistic. If you think there’s something wrong with the characters in the movie then I’m afraid you’re scorning your own small town people. The logic here seems to be “Accurate = Stereotypical, Inaccurate = Racist” with no middle ground so you will always have the choice to get offended. “It’s a copy of The Book of Life (Made by Mexicans)” WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWO MOVIES BASED ON THE SAME TRADITION WOULD SHARE SOME ASPECTS? THIS IS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. But hey, next time you watch one of the recent Mexican romantic comedies, make a list of all the things it has in common with just any Adam Sandler movie (you’ll need more than one page).

“They’re profiting from it and giving nothing back!” They did give something back-- They widened the understanding of one of our traditions, employed Mexican artists in the soundtrack and might overall help expand tourism. And remember that entertainment is a BUSINESS, not a CHARITY so no, I’m afraid they don’t owe us.
