Disney Movies Have a Huge Diversity Problem - and They Don't Seem to Want to Fix it

>As much as we love our childhood animated Disney staples, it's not news some — okay, most — of them are problematic in their own ways.

>There's a scene in the original Jungle Book that makes everyone a little uncomfortable. The ape, King Louie, dances around, singing to Mowgli, the human protagonist, "I Wanna Be Like You." It evokes a minstrel's performance, laden with black-white, racial subtext.

Fuck this generation

Its ok op

normal people are getting fed up with their bullshit now

The pic on the right is him getting the dick succt

Stop looking for things that can offend you.

>First image is a still from the movie
>Second is a fanart of Gay Aladdin Porn

White sells.

don't tell me what to do

hello fellow tumblrite!

On the left: a white man
On the right: a black man

>Sup Forums is now full of Republicans from Sup Forumsmblr who watch Fox News, fuck their cousins, and constantly keep looking for things to get offend about and post on Sup Forums

What happened?

archive.is/4S4kO

faggot

...

They had native American, black, Asian and female main characters, but let's just ignore those so they don't get in the way of the narrative.

The one on the right is from a porn comic and for some reason unknown to me they neglected to draw him with hairy pits

It's from a rule 34 image. It doesn't exist in the actual film.

Sup Forums = reddit = Sup Forums

They're pretty much an extension of each other at this point.

People, even brown people, like stories about white people best. That's why Frozen was so damn popular. Foreigners love white stories with white characters.

Trump will save us.

.. Is Mowgli white?

>Ape to a white human
>This is comparing a black man to a white man

That implication right there is more racist than anything Disney has put out. Why are SJWs so fucking retarded?

If I wasn't supposed to fuck my cousins, why did God make them so attractive?

They fucking making Norse legends black to add diversity, what the fuck?

>Black-White racial subtext

More like Atheist subtext how he calls Mowgli "cousin" which was ballsy in the 60's

>Aladdin will never be real
>Arab guys will never be this qt irl

Fucking Disney why do you make me suffer like this

These people need to be put in camps

>facts hurt your feelings

>compares blacks to literal monkeys
>has the gall to call others problematic

absolutely ridiculous

>no place to comment on that article
Typical. Liberals want conversations to be one-way only.

>multi quote retard

if only I could filter this

have you ever even been to Reddit idiot? it's as far left as you can go

I read
>focus on feminist issues in the Muslim world
Actual text
>focus on feminist issues AND the Muslim world
Fucking 3rd wave feminist retards.

>There's no comment section for le BASED Sup Forums to spam with "cuck" and accusations of white genocide
>Fucking fascists taking away my freeze peaches

Does Baloo's character symbolize the laziness of black people?

why are you here if you're going to act like a little bitch over nothing? He didn't even say anything worth getting upset over you pissed off dyke

He let you out of the retard cage?

No he symbolizes funny hats.

all these bullshit graphs

SJWs hate disney.

Who was the last white Disney Princess?

How the fuck is this guy STILL posting this shit?

go back to /r/ShitRedditSays

>peaches
>OH HEY GUYS I'M TOTALLY NOT FROM /r/ShitRedditSays, even though I'm using their horrible unfunny memes

lmao pls get raped and murdered already

the casting directors of the original jungle book actually went out of their way to not appear racist because of the massive amounts of racial tension at the time - originally King Louie was gonna be played by Louis Armstrong (who he is obviously based on), but Italian American jazz singer Louis Prima was used instead so as not to appear like they were stereotyping black people as apes.

What if they're not deliberately looking for it, and this stuff just genuinely offends them?

WHERE IS THE BLACK-WHITE SUBTEXT THERE'S NOT A SINGLE WHITE OR BLACK CHARACTER IN THE FUCKING JUNGLE BOOK THE ONLY HUMAN IS SOUTH ASIAN

AND IN THE FUCKING REMAKE KING LOUIE ISN'T EVEN A STEREOTYPICAL JAZZ CAT BUT INSTEAD A MAFIA DON IT'S LIKE THESE PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY FUCKING WATCH ANYTHING BEFORE COMMENTING ON IT

>IN THE FUCKING JUNGLE BOOK THE ONLY HUMAN IS SOUTH ASIAN
Indians.

indians are south asian

>india isn't in asia

It's more like Disney ran out of European tales to steal

Frozen was bottom of the barrel but surprisingly made a billion dollars

elsa

>the original Jungle Book

Pretty sure the original Jungle Book didn't have any music numbers.

Fun fact: Chris Rock was supposed to voice Tarzan's gorilla friend. He probably backed out when he found out that his character's big music number was going to be a jazz song sung while absolutely demolishing the white guy's camp, while Tarzan calmly and inquisitively probed things when confronted with the same things.

>going to be a jazz song sung while absolutely demolishing the white guy's camp
>implying Rock would have a problem with this

>problematic
What are other words that can no longer be taken seriously thanks to guilt by association?
>epic
>feminist
>nerd
>random
>democrat
>racist, xenophobic, sexist
>punk
>vampire
>noob
Too much has been ruined since the adventure of the internet.

>Aladdin
>brown
>not chinese

Problematic.

The story takes place in China in name alone. Everything about it sounds like Persia or some other medieval Muslim country.

ghazi pls go

ghazi pls go

...

how is there a black-white subtext when he's literally singing to an indian kid

>originally King Louie was gonna be played by Louis Armstrong (who he is obviously based on), but Italian American jazz singer Louis Prima was used instead so as not to appear like they were stereotyping black people as apes.

I REALLY wish they had gotten someone to do a good Louis Armstrong impression instead of Christopher Walken. I liked him as Louie but his musical number sucked ass.

i thought it was good

maybe some people see King Louie as a fuckin ape that wants to be human instead of as a black guy wanting to be like a white guy

yeah, but when have they had those lately?

I don't know what your arabs look like, but every single arab where I live looks like this. I'm walking around beef cakes all day.

>insulting free speech
Fuck off home to reddit you fat cunt

Only a racist would make that connection.
Also
>White Mowgli

that guy is still white during a total eclipse

Who is that heartthrob kebab

Most Disney movies are based on stories happening in Europe centuries ago. It makes no sense to add black people in these movies.

do you think the guy at the end is only there for the easy fat white pussy?

Do you live somewhere they move because they're rich enough to be able to leave?

I've never seen one look like but I live somewhere that they move because they're poor enough to be driven to leave in search of cleaning jobs to send money home.

They originally wanted Louis Armstrong for the part of King Louie, but they thought it'd be racist.
>tfw no 10/10 top tier Armstrong King Louie.

>compares us to literal talking monkeys

I wasn't offended before, but I sure am now.

>The ape, King Louie, dances around, singing to Mowgli, the human protagonist, "I Wanna Be Like You." It evokes a minstrel's performance, laden with black-white, racial subtext.

he LITERALLY calls black people apes!

Elsa, then Rapunzel, then whatever the Scottish chick was called

Idris Elba and Lupita Ngoyoodgodgofoho are in the remake.
>muh Disney is doing nothing about diversity
They did in a film that was released literally this year, you fucking bitches

Mulan is Chinese and a woman who saves China. Pocahontas a female native American who brings peace between Britain and her tribe. Ezmeralda says fuck you to white christians and is a gypsy. Meg is greek and a complex character that redeems herself. Belle is French and part of a town who find her weird and falls in love with the ugly beast. Jasmine won't listen to her father and literally makes him change the law. I swear these people don't even watch these movies.

Didn't they originally intend to adapt The Snow Queen (which Frozen was based on) 70 years earlier but the project never got off the ground?

Die.

It's simple kids just don't care about SJW shit and a parent aren't going to deny them a chance to see a movie they want because it isn't diverse.

If Trump wins it will be due to the PC culture tipping the white man vote too far right. People are getting sick of it.
