      XPost: alt.politics.socialism.democratic, rec.arts.disney.parks,       talk.politics.guns       XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, sac.politics, alt.society.liberalism       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2023/07/17/disneys-live-action-snow-white-takes-       wokeness-to-absurd-new-low/              Finally, our corporate overlords have taken on the scourge of racism       against magical creatures!              New set photos from woke behemoth Disney’s live-action remake of animated       classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” suggest they’ve done it largely       without the dwarfs.              Grumpy, Dopey, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy and Doc — who have delighted       kids for decades — seem like they’re getting the ax in favor of some       generic “magical creatures.”              Why?              Well, they were all men, all white and — worst of all — they perpetuated       harmful stereotypes against forest-dwelling, pointy hat-wearing,       nonexistent fairytale beings.              “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism, seemingly started       off the whole stupid affair back in 2022 when he whined in the press:       “You’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarfs living       in a cave together. What the f–k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing       to advance the cause from my soapbox?”              Huh? Does Dinklage seriously think people have ever confused the cartoon       dwarfs in the movie with, you know, actual human beings?              Snow White’s dwarfs don’t even live in a cave! They have a snug, well-       appointed house.              To say nothing of the fact that they’re the moral center of the movie.              It’s not stereotyping; rather, like all fairy tales, it uses the unreal to       illuminate the far-too-real world we do inhabit.              Insanely, Disney seems to have listened.              And in the fall, the new Snow White, breakout “West Side Story” star       Rachel Zegler, got in on the action: “People are making these jokes about       ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is, because it       needed that.”              No, it didn’t.              It’s a cartoon. About magic spells, fate and true love.              It doesn’t need to be brought into line with our new, Twitter-driven Hays       Code.              Dinklage and Zegler spouting off like this, and Disney caving, makes as       much sense as AARP denouncing the portrayal of the hideous crone-witch in       the film as stereotyping old people.              So speak up, audiences! Woke corporations fold like cheap suits the moment       they face consumer blowback.              Just witness the ongoing Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.              Go microwave some popcorn and watch the classic Snow White tonight.              RetiredTNLEO       1 day ago              I think the great silent majority already had its hackles up bc of the       over-representation of minorities in TV commercials. As agencies went Woke       long ago. Example: inter racial couples appearing at 27 times their rate       in the general population.                     --       We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
