Twitter decided two users could not be part of their world after
an artificial intelligence scientist “whitewashed” actress Halle
Bailey in “The Little Mermaid” trailer.
In addition to suspending their respective accounts, the AI guy
has been blased by other users on the site for digitally
replacing Bailey — who is black — with a fake white actress.
The viral tweet circulated days after the new Disney film’s
trailer reportedly received over 1.5 million dislikes on YouTube
from “racist” viewers who are upset that the previously white-
skinned, red-headed Ariel is now a black woman.
Twitter user @TenGazillioinIQ took that to the next level and
“fixed” the clip by using AI to make the live-action fish woman
white.
“Credits to our member Artificial Intelligence scientist
@TenGazillioinIQ,” the tweet — made by another user, @vandalibm,
read, according to screenshots taken by DailyMail before the
account was suspended.
Another user saw the tweet early, too, and screenshotted it to
promote the artist’s controversial work.
“He fixed The Little Mermaid and turned the woke actor into a
ginger white girl,” the promoter said in their own tweet. “He
says he can fix the whole move comes out with 4x A6000 in 24
hours. It’s over for wokecels.”
The user then posted a follow-up tweet, saying the alteration
was “purely educational” and asked users and the social media
platform to not “misinterpret this in a racist way.”
“I am just amazed by high-IQ friend who works with Artificial
Intelligence and the stuff he can make, and wanted to show
people his field of study,” they added.
Still, critics online swiftly scolded both accounts for their
“racist” examples.
“This IS pretty educational,” one user rebuttled. “For instance,
everyone on Twitter learned that @vandalibm and @TenGazillionIQ
are racist while these two learned that this s—doesn’t fly on
Twitter (at least as evidenced by their accounts being
deleted/suspended). Learning is fun!”
“You know guys, you were kinda asking to be suspended at this
point for basically whitewashing a real human being,” another
user wrote.
“I’m not racist, I just ‘fixed’ a kid’s movie by changing the
main character’s race. Totally not racist,” one person mocked
the users.
“Don’t want the black face, but sure to keep the black singing
voice. Says everything,” another noted of the scientist’s choice
to keep Bailey’s voice from the trailer.
Walt Disney Studios posted the trailer to its YouTube channel on
Friday and it quickly racked up millions of views, but the
company was forced to disable the dislike button after receiving
1.5 million thumbs-downs in just two days.
Meanwhile, on TikTok, videos of young Black kids are going viral
as they realize that the new mermaid looks like them.
Bailey’s version of “The Little Mermaid” hits theaters on May
26, 2023.
Fuck Disney. Let's put them out of business.

Issues like this wouldn't happen if Disney and other media
companies would come up with new creative ideas of making new
stories and movies and stop remaking the old movies that are
considered classics. The classics don't need to be fixed. Create
something new!

They won’t do that. Black characters generally don’t bring in
the revenue that white characters do. It just is what it is.
They absolutely should make movies that have black main
characters instead of stamping out whiteness everywhere they see
it, but there aren’t profits in that.
