So because the movie apparently sucks, they can spin it into something bashing white people. Had it gotten good reviews all we'd hear about it is how it embraces and celebrates African culture. If they want to trash European influences on Africa, a live action Tarzan is the movie to do it. Just be sure to point out that it was shambles before and after the Europeans influenced it, there's blame enough to go around.
I guess when the new Little Mermaid movie stinks on ice it will be all the racists fault.

My thing is this. Disney needs to stop doing these live action movies that are rehashed from original cartoon movies of the late 80s to early 2000s. Disney needs to create fresh and new movies designed for a new generation. Doing these live action films only brings new life into old stereotypes prior to the sjw outrage culture that we have now.

The echo chambers will always have something to be outraged about. Look at how the folks on the right are outraged about Ariel being black in the upcoming little mermaid live action. But as that movie comes out, the sjw and the pro black will be jsut as outraged as white nationalist and alt right types. The sjw will made about the patriarchy that exist in the movie, and the affluent white male, and the pro black will be upset that a black woman has white beauty standards. Watch and see. You think Disney can do a live action pocahontas during this cultural political and social climate we are in? No.

Disney attempts to act or appear as woke will back fire with movies like Aladdin, lion king and next year holiday season with little mermaid. Disney wokeness will back fire due to sjws, feminist and the pro black. All of which come from positions of weakness.

Then on the next one or two pages there are a number of opinion pieces.

They are from a variety of sources and voice different opinions. I would never assume the paper adopts all the views it presents in those opinion pieces.
So how do the opinion pieces get selected? Random draw?

The newspaper is clearly giving a voice to some views....but not others.

As such, logically they have some ownership because they're deciding whom gets to use their platform.

Imagine if your local newspaper were to start putting in opinion pieces about how the holocaust didn't really happen or someone with allegations of Joe Biden raping them? They get a free pass for that? I mean it's in the opinion section, it's practically an accident that it got printed right? lol

There is not a movie ever made, or that will be made that someone can not find offense with it.

In todays climate, we have a bunch of people running around looking to be offended and it's jumped the shark.

Frankly, I think there is a growing backlash against what really are a bunch of bitter SJW trolls. Nobody wants to be around people that toxic.

These people have no shame, sense, honesty, courage, wisdom...and on and on. They exist to create gibberish for their echo-chamber of buffoons.
Wow! That's exciting.

I've never seen Lion King and have no desire to do so. In fact, I have no desire to see anything Disney produces.

Then again, it's WaPo which I consider to be "Way-out Politics."

No, you're confused.

Publishing is support.

These perpetual cries from the deranged SJWs remind me of that game "Bop It." But instead of the bop it, pull it, twist it.........it's racist, sexist, white supremacy. Dun, dun, dun, dun.......
