    Oh it’s even worse than that: they hate live action Ariel because she’s “ugly”

    sex+race racism is horrifically nasty, and more common in my experience.


    Also, I will leave this here:

      I’m sorry but if you think that Zuko is not a hero, you must have sopped watching Avatar after the third episode.

        I mean, I’ve watched it through many times, but tha’s not really the point here. They switched up the appearance of the whole Fire Nation demographic because… Well…

        Would they today, though?

        I feel like there would be conservative ‘backlash against backlash’ over racebending cast.

      do you remember the original animated “Lion King”?

      all the voice actors for the Hyenas were black stereotypes…
