Either they didn't choose to explore African culture for a mermaid story because they think white culture is superior or they are trying to erase white culture. Either way it the remake is racist.
Which is why you don't apologize to these weirdos, they always find something to b*tch about and nothing is ever enough. Best to just hit the block button and move on.
Honestly its giving me Vincent van Gogh vibes, sure its not as extreme but he was also mocked and ridiculed for his art by petty people, for Van Goph it was the fact that his "stars" were not relistic and for this artist its that they used the original character? So dumb 🤦♂
This exact issue is what I was talking to a friend about. By race swapping Ariel, they’re not allowing a black and white mermaid to swim side by side. The new character now replaces the old one and you’ll be labeled a racist for saying you prefer the original character or anything remotely negative about the new one. This isn’t how diversity should be done and it just creates more division. Race swapping helps no one and it actively hurts the diversity they so clamor for.
@@aeoligarlic4024my thoughts exactly. What I wanted for this movie was for it to be a NEW mermaid movie. With a new character and a new story. The fact that it's a "remake" at all is forcing two versions of a character to fight for dominance in the public eye. Why couldn't we have a new mermaid character, allowing both of them to coexist? It's all very disappointing and I'm beginning to suspect that Disney does it on purpose, because strong negative emotion and discourse will get people talking about their films.
@@aeoligarlic4024 ironically, The Little Mermaid TV series did it right as well. Instead of race swapping an existing character, they created an entirely new character named Gabriella, who was deaf. Gabriella was my first look at a person who was deaf, and I wish they would do more with her rather than race swap Ariel, because Gabriella is such an interesting character.
Exactly, if they wanted diversity, they could have made something like a live action continuation, and have a mermaid from an equatorial region (Caribbean area for example) and have her meet Melody who is now exploring the ocean with grandpa’s protection and meets this mermaid from a tropical sea who would have dark skin due to more exposure to sunlight. Would have been vastly more interesting and would still be diverse while showing Melody discovering all the other life under the sea (or seven seas given Triton is king of the seven seas)
As a “Person of Color” who is Hispanic, I take zero issue with a white Ariel (the OG Ariel). What I do hate is people who claim to “represent” people like me while simultaneously being triggered over stupid stuff like this.
@Kira 1807 So its ok to race swap say black panther? No, it isn't. Respect the source material. Race swaps in any direction is wrong. There is even a black mermaid in the little mermaid who is a really interesting character they could have made a movie about but no they decided to race swap. They wanted to make a politically motivated move to cause controversy and they got it. Very few people have a problem with the race. It is the lazy race swap instead of creating a new character that riles most people.
@@draecath5953 Don’t forget to mention that in Peter Pan & Wendy, instead of race swapping Tinkerbell they could’ve used one of her friends from the Pixie Hollow Movies, Iridessa. But nope. Their “solution” was to go for the good ol’ race swappin’
@@yoshimasterleaderYeah, now people will use her as an excuse to be racist on both sides of the spectrum. :( She is just doing her job, that aside, I hope she gets better projects.
@@yoshimasterleaderNah, if she partakes in the bullshit excuse of "this is so good for representation, now children of colour will feel seen" then no sympathy. Not fueling the typical black American narcissism.

Not quite correct. Not caring about race, or "not seeing color" is now racist according to these people. You know, that thing we were told for a good 20+ years was the not-racist thing to do.
Those people never told you not to care about race. They did, in fact, tell you to care about race. They have been telling you to care about race for the last ten years.
@@stupidanon5941 I think the 'caring about race' was meant in a way like 'don't be racist'/'racism needs to stop' (which basically means to not give a damn about skin colour). But yeah, they are trying VERY hard to reverse racism these days. Every chance they get, they shit on pale people. It's really sickening tbh.
> Take original character, race swap and give her similar moments as the original character, no one bats an eye and its considered empowering and beautiful. > Take race swapped character, redraw some of their own original moments with the original version of the character = Racism
And they claim the new Ariel is being erased simply through a depiction of the original, yet their disapproval of it and only wanting the new one to be relevant, is literally just erasing the original Ariel.... Smh
a naked red hair, dude areil was my first crush its hard not to make fun of the "new" one but i guess some folks cant relate unless they have the same skin tone people everywhere are making fun of black people lately, especially over Cleopatra thing they are being seen as villains, this is not good but i guess actual racists don't see it that way
The artist themselves say they enjoy both versions of Ariel and they just wanted to redraw the jellyfish scene with the Ariel from the animated movie and suddenly, they are racist...? Where are we even going?
“It’s not that deep” “For me it is” God, I hate how people just refuse to admit they’re wrong about something and have to actively gaslight themselves into thinking they’re correct.
Not only is the art adorable but it also has far superior lighting and colours. Seriously, why does the live action movie look so dark? I've swam in open oceans and not even real life seas look so washed out.
If they went for realism it should be a lot darker. More likely it's actually meant to hide cheap effects, you might be able to tell that they have filmed most of it in a pool if you could see properly.
@@jasperzanovich2504 I guarantee its to hide their terrible CGI, specially since they could not hide it all, specially when ariel was swiming (least how it looked in the trailer)
When you compare it to other "under da sea" movies, like Finding Nemo... HUGE DIFFERENCE in color. They could make it "live action" AND pleasing to the eye.
It makes me remember that one She-ra controversy where an artist drew Mermista from the OG series and twittards complained and harassed for not being based on the reboot.
@@denilramos2337 People just care about the world they make and force upon others. Additionally, the people who outrage are the same people who are identified to exercise moments of cognitive dissonance.
Twitter don't care if it's cannon or not ( Like they would listen to reason/logic), they just like to complain about skin color/race and make it a drama like they always do. It's like a day to day hobby for them doing this to any other artist that post their own art on Twitter.
This once again proves how much the original, real image of Ariel as a character means to people, and not just what Disney is trying to promote with a new film.
u cant just grab and character thats been iconic for so many years change it and say this is your new character. Doesnt work like that for the same reason Superman gay, Superman black, Batman and Robin gay didnt work, those character had a background. You cant just go and pull new ideas from your ass and added into them is not going to sell they wont fit in that role model.
One line in this whole thing summarizes half the issues we see on Twitter nowadays: 1:32 "For me personally it is." Apparently, one person's personal opinion should be understood and obeyed by the entire world, or else everyone else is simply evil.
Yeah it's honestly the worst place for artists because everyone tries to impose their values on whoever's making the art. Most social media sites are unfriendly places to post but Twitter takes the cake for being the worst.
Just make you're own website for you're arts , or at least turn off the comments on Instagram or RUclips from attacking toxic people. It's better than Twitter really.
Well luckily for all of us with a brain, most people are laughing at racism accusations these days. Less people are becoming ethically motivated when they just want to see things that are fundamentally good in quality, which Disney can't deliver.
Disney and the rest of Hollywood have overused calling everyone racist to the point of being a Boy who cried wolf situation, it's lost any meaning and people are Fecking tired of being called something their not. This is how you break down people's sympathy for genuine acts of racism to the point no one will actually do anything about it.
"I wanted to see the Ariel from my childhood in this moment." "that moment belongs to the current Ariel" these people really want to blackwash your history and childhood
@@littlemoth4956 you do realize that they cast a black actress for Netflix Cleopatra, right? Historically speaking, Cleopatra is from a Greek/Macedonian descent, right? So yes, blackwashing is also a thing especially for afrocentric/Afrocentrism

@@dumbtch-lk5yr that I understand and agree. It's a very unfortunate situation to be placed in But without any backlash, these comments would walk all over the artists, precisely the situation we want to avoid
They are being guilt trip and manipulate into apologizing, the woke crowd use the suffering of real black people to manipulate and guilt trip people into doing what they want, which is honestly disgusting.
Artists: *draws original Ariel the woke: *THAT'S RACIST* woke writers: *replaces original Ariel with black with the excuse of "diversity" the woke: awwee that's cute
@Kira 1807 do you mean "you are not Like"? 🤦🏾♂️ And by that logic I shouldn't see you whine if white ppl want to play as original pov characters then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Kira1807-uy6fe nothing's wrong with her playing the role. it's not about her, it's about the woke writers. You want live action of the original then keep the original. I loved static shock as a kid, and loved all versions of spidey including miles. But just as the same I would be pissed if they they transformed miles into a white dude for a live action and Phil (static shock), was also turned into a white dude because the live action writers want "diversity" bullshit. No, there's nothing being diverse about it. the same way they turned velma and even April was turned black, and that show had nothing of woke bullshit being added to the script. Just says a lot about their whole "diversity" excuse BS. I even had an argument because my former college teacher was like "you can't appreciate art" like btch this has nothing to do with art, it's about sticking to the original, the very same thing we all loved that brings us nostalgia. I have nothing against Halle. She's a good actress and she has a good voice when it comes to singing, but this isn't about Halle, it's about the writers woke decision. Hell, they even almost did the same for Witcher when they tried to add their cringe woke bullshit in the script, if not for Henry interrupting them.
Yeah...She definitely shouldn't have apologized for doing nothing wrong. All it does is make things worse because it validates those who attacked her. The original Ariel has been around longer then likely every one of those commenters.
For me personally it's reasonable. Some people just can't stand getting hundreds of hate comments on something they worked so hard on, like this artist Sometimes the hate was too much and it overwhelms you, making you question if you really did do anything wrong Looking at the choices, confronting them would just get yourself yelled at which I'm sure some people aren't comfortable with, and keeping quiet would just give you the "BOOHOO YOU'RE SCARED BACKING AWAY HUH? YOU'RE SCARED THAT WE CALL YOU RACIST HUH???" So the last resort was to apologize for it even if you believe you didn't do wrong. It'll give them the illusion they're winning, but atleast the hate will stop coming and you can look like you understand the 'message' they're trying to say Trust me I got warned by a discord mod for saying the word Femboy a few years ago, and it's easier going "oh sorry I didn't know" than keeping your ground
Just like clockwork. This is what I hate about raceswapping. As soon as the race swap comes out, the usual suspects say “she’s our character now. Changing her back is racist”.
I love the comment of that moment "belongs" to the remake Ariel. With that logic why arent they mad that the Live action Ariel took all the moments that belonged to the original.
Twitter not making everything about race/ genders challenge (impossible) It's "funny" how they preach about "viewing things from other perspectives" while they completely neglect the view of the artist. How dare you draw characters that you grew up with, I guess.
They say don't be racist, yet their action and words says the complete opposite of what they are doing to others. This is what we call self-projection and the one that is doing it ( AKA Twitter ) can't see they are being the thing that they are lecturing to others not to be racist when they doing it now. Ironic ain't it.
In my eyes, Ariel will always be a girl with light skin and red hair. No amount of woke reboots for "representation" will change that. I don't care what the reason is, I think race-swapping characters is always a bad idea. I don't want to see a white Blade, or a white Spawn, or a white Static Shock. Those characters will always be black in my eyes.
@@waterking74 Don't ban them because that's giving them attention and it gives them fuel they can throw on the fire. The best course of action is the full ignore them full stop.
@Kira 1807 Ariel will never look like me, Halle Bailey is a race-baiting communist who hates Irish people because the movie director told her to hate Irish people.
@Kira 1807 I don't care who plays what, but it's not about what I think. The modern discourse over media representation is the adult equivalent of children being told to share their toys, and this video is about children who don't want to give the toys back afterwards because they think the other kid is being icky, which I called the adult equivalent: bigotry. Why are you so upset I expect every child to play by the rules they agreed to?
@@Kira1807-uy6fePhysically it just doesn't make sense for someone to magically change color. When a character is made, whatever features they have need to stay, because that's how you recognize them, same with real life people. You don't see your mexican friend one day, then they're suddenly asian the next day.
Everyone always makes it about them. She drew it, it was about her love of the character. Twitter is full of crazy people who want to make everything about their feelings.
You can't draw OG Ariel. You can't say you prefer OG Ariel. You can't even say "OG" Ariel. Isn't this... erasure? By their own logic that is. Erasing a character's original appearance/race. That, and the amount of schizo twittards that are feeling personally attacked by this💀 What the hell
And attitudes like this are why I hate race-swaps in general. Not only are they only really allowed to go in one direction, but the moment it happens, the original character is often deemed off-limits and forbidden to be portrayed again. You can ONLY portray the new, race-swapped version, or you're somehow a horrible racist. Like that one person posted, "The original already has tons of fan art, just draw the new one." It happened with the new She-Ra as well. A girl drew all the original characters, and basically got bullied and harassed off the internet. I imagine the same thing is going to happen with Aragorn, too, as well as any other race-swapped characters when the M:tG cards come out. White Aragorn will be forbidden, and only the "new" one will be allowed, otherwise "you're raysist!" Honestly, twitter needs to just be shut down. It's nothing but a toxic cesspool, and any good it does for humanity is vastly outweighed by the negatives.
That's because the entire point of race swaps is to erase white people. Race swapping has ALWAYS been inherently racist and morally wrong. Always. No exceptions.
To me it’s just lazy and kinda insulting. I mean we’ve had race swops long ago like Cinderella with Whitney Houston one Oz but those didn’t feel like they where trying to erase the original movies.
They’re the type of people who are okay with erasing history or origins if it benefits their perspective and beliefs. It’s dumb. I’m sticking with the original version while accepting the new live action exists.
It's never about the movie. Most of the time it the skin color war 100% of the time, just to push their own meassge and enforce it onto others just to prove a point. Look what Netflix did with the Queen Cleopatra and just swapped skin color and got in serious trouble with Egypt for altering their history just so they can insert their Quote " people of color " to please a certain group of audience mostly Twitter.
When you're desperate for representation, you're insecure. When you're desperate for representation, but can't even create an original character for it, you're insecure and lazy.
Honestly race-swopping in general to me is so lazy like when they made Cleopatra black cause there wasn’t a lot of movies of black queens and they wanted more representation. But instead of making a movie based on the many black and African queens they just made Cleopatra black and claimed this Is for the black community. To me not only is that lazy but disrespectful that instead of telling black stories they just steak from other cultures and claim it’s theirs.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 Considering that Hollywood made _The Woman King_ and used it to glorify what was possibly one of the most evil tribes to ever exist and tried to make them out as the heroes simply because they had a female leader, I wouldn't trust them with that.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 Exactly. It is lazy and disrespectful to those they want to pander to. There is so much amazing history and folklore from africa yet they choose to race swap. The problem is even if they didn't race swap and chose someone who was black they would mess it up by injecting politics into it like the woman king.

This is the only thing that actually gets me to dislike characters getting race swapped. I don't give a crap about any character getting race swapped, but the chronically online people that cancel people for preferring/drawing the classic version of a character are infuriating...
Yeah I wouldn't mind either, but you know it's just projection, so they intend their race swaps to be exactly as hateful as they interpret other race swaps to be.
@@Nephelishonestly that's the only thing that bothers me about it is that you can turn a white character black and that's fine but if I turned a black character white if be called a racist. And to me either all of it's ok or none of it's ok.

You should dislike race swapping. The entire point of race swapping is to erase white people. That's why the race swapping only ever goes ONE way: from white to black.
I'm a black person who likes the original white Ariel but doesn't like the new black Ariel. That must sound weird to some people, but it isn't. It's just different. Ariel had a recognizable and beloved design for years, so a lot of fans, myself included, were upset by the remake's decision to make Ariel black for virtue-signaling purposes. And after seeing the remake and comparing it to the original, I still prefer the original. The fanart this person made is fantastic in my eyes too. There's nothing racist about drawing the original design of a beloved character.
Same with me, it’s honestly sickening how if the original Ariel was black instead of white, and they remade her to be white the movie would get so much backlash for being racist. But when it’s the other way around nobody bats an eyelash.
@@star_feesh lol no. Hailey fits the role perfectly. Lol also I’m literally far left and it’s like no we aren’t attacking people for having her be white, it’s people who change it out of spite for Hailey and are racist idiots. Lol 😂 ur an idiot

The original version of Ariel has existed for 30+ years, it’s a reference. It's a thing, I know I've original designs drawn into the same scenario as reboots before. I think it was like tmnt or marvel characters. Maybe Voltron? Either way I'm sick of people in Twitter. It's just cute art!
@Kira 1807 nick fury isn't a good example I don't know how people don't know this but marvel was like contractually obligated to hire Samuel L Jackson specifically as Nick fury as part of an agreement to use his likeness in the comics for the ultimate universe. Jackson said they could use his likeness only if they cast him for the movie if they ever made one and when they agreed they didn't think there ever would be a movie.
With the controversy surrounding the new Little Mermaid, I'm starting to think Disney will never put the original Ariel in a movie or TV show again. SPECIFICALLY because people like this will scream and throw tantrums.
Disney is run by anti-White Jews. You're just now understanding that there's a war against White culture? Of course you'll never see redhead Ariel again.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 I doubt it. She's still part of the Disney Princess brand, and compared to Halle actually sells merch. Halle's version will probably disappear in a couple of years.
While the story was a bit weird I found it much more enjoyable than the live action. The music the scene the art everything in the movie made you feel like you where in that world but the live action just felt like Disney goin hey hey remember this movie ya like this movie right please give us money.
I'm "left-leaning". I grew up with the original white Ariel and I thought it was cool with her being black in the remake. I honestly haven't seen the remake due to Disney's track record with them. I don't think the art was meant to be offensive and it's getting overblown. Please remember not everyone is part of a hive mind of hate and not everyone is the same on Twitter.
I knew it, first they blackwash, then they deem any reference to the original as "racist", then people gradually year over year just forget about even getting involved with any of it but they keep talking about the "improved" version until every reference has been changed ever original depiction has been censored and everyone just thinks like them. It's a long process but very effective.
I love the self-own. The people who think Ariel is now black say that making the character white is racist. So then by their own logic/rules making black Ariel over using OG white Ariel is racist.

I honestly think why my race is like this is cause we're really insecure about the past and our place in the world, so we blame shit on some injustice that isn't there. That's how I feel, people get bent out of shape, I see it in my family and other black people I talk to a lot, course it's not everyone cause my close friends are really chill, but it's very common. Growing up, I was lucky to not be picked on cause of my race, I never felt less than others and never felt like I couldn't do things other people could. I just did stuff and no one ever told me no, and know I can draw, make music, 3d model and edit. I just felt human, race didn't matter to me growing up and still doesn't to me now. I DO get sick of the pandering and shit though lol. I don't need a black character to be on screen for me to be happy cause I don't care if I'm honest. What I'm really sick of is this back and forth of "now it's our turn to be on top!" to give an excuse for communities to be asses and babying minority groups, I personally don't need that shit.

"That moment belonged to the current Ariel." That current Ariel isnt even the real one. Just because she showed up in this movie as black doesnt mean shit. If youre going to be mad at that, then be mad that they made her black IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Everyone always focuses on skin color. What about the extreme distance between the eyes of Halle? I mean, it is kinda fish-like, but only in a Lovecraftian sense.
Remember when it was "Why are grown adults getting upset about a kids' character's skin color?" when people expressed doubts about the raceswap? Yeah, me too.
I fucking knew it! I always wondered what would happen if Disney race swapped an original cartoon character and someone draws it. Rip Future cartoon animations.

Messed up thing is, op said english wasn't her first language (which, tbf, it beyond obvious, idk how they didn't notice it), but some people went as far as accuse her of being racist for misspelling halle bailey's first name
I remember when Clownfish TV did a video about Twitiots getting mad at an artist who drew art of the original versions of She-Ra characters. It was very similar to this. These woketards don't like it when people remember that the original non woke version of things they wokeified exists. The woke versions literally exist to erase the original
I think all the hate this is getting is a result of the current sickness of people wanting things to be easy. People want to feel good about fighting for some cause, but they dont actually want to put in any work. Rather than combating actual racists and serious problems which require effort and self sacrifice, they go for the easy path to that self-righteous high by attacking people online over mundane things. Everyone wants to be a hero, but nobody wants to put in the work to be a hero. So they just attack things that result in zero consequences and make up fake excuses like "micro-aggressions" or "internal bias" to give them an excuse to get mad and people and feel like they are making a difference... Which they are, just not a positive one.
Tbf I am leftist (I support the old left of my country which is France) and I find the tendency of the change of race insulting as much for the white people as for the people that these morons want to represent. Just like I don't want a black Ariel, I don't want a white T'Challa. I want characters representing the culture they're inspired by, not skins sticking with the political correctness of your lobotomized industry. In short, if we stick to Disney, I want Jasmine, Raya, Tiana and Kida, but not Snow White, Ariel and who knows, surely Aurora one day, with dark skin that has nothing to do with the historical context of the original works. Finally, the thing that annoys me the most is that the left in my country is increasingly invaded by people with the mentality and rhetoric of your leftists, while our history is not the same. It's infuriating and just for that, I want to say shame on the USA. Your extremists, whether left or right, rot the whole world with their sickening ideologies and it makes me sick.
Still better than the rightist cult who stormed the capitol in an attempt to violently overthrow the government because they refuse to accept that their man lost an election.

Honestly its giving me Vincent van Gogh vibes, sure its not as extreme but he was also mocked and ridiculed for his art by petty people, for Van Goph it was the fact that his "stars" were not relistic and for this artist its that they used the original character? So dumb 🤦♂
This exact issue is what I was talking to a friend about. By race swapping Ariel, they’re not allowing a black and white mermaid to swim side by side. The new character now replaces the old one and you’ll be labeled a racist for saying you prefer the original character or anything remotely negative about the new one. This isn’t how diversity should be done and it just creates more division. Race swapping helps no one and it actively hurts the diversity they so clamor for.
This exactly why spiderverse did it right. Miles Morales is his own character. But peter parker always exist. They're canon and exist side by side
@@aeoligarlic4024my thoughts exactly. What I wanted for this movie was for it to be a NEW mermaid movie. With a new character and a new story. The fact that it's a "remake" at all is forcing two versions of a character to fight for dominance in the public eye. Why couldn't we have a new mermaid character, allowing both of them to coexist? It's all very disappointing and I'm beginning to suspect that Disney does it on purpose, because strong negative emotion and discourse will get people talking about their films.
@@aeoligarlic4024 ironically, The Little Mermaid TV series did it right as well. Instead of race swapping an existing character, they created an entirely new character named Gabriella, who was deaf. Gabriella was my first look at a person who was deaf, and I wish they would do more with her rather than race swap Ariel, because Gabriella is such an interesting character.
@@becausebubbles2566 Yeah, I agree, they could have done a movie or something for Gabriella.
Exactly, if they wanted diversity, they could have made something like a live action continuation, and have a mermaid from an equatorial region (Caribbean area for example) and have her meet Melody who is now exploring the ocean with grandpa’s protection and meets this mermaid from a tropical sea who would have dark skin due to more exposure to sunlight. Would have been vastly more interesting and would still be diverse while showing Melody discovering all the other life under the sea (or seven seas given Triton is king of the seven seas)

But just as the same I would be pissed if they they transformed miles into a white dude for a live action and Phil (static shock), was also turned into a white dude because the live action writers want "diversity" bullshit. No, there's nothing being diverse about it. the same way they turned velma and even April was turned black, and that show had nothing of woke bullshit being added to the script. Just says a lot about their whole "diversity" excuse BS. I even had an argument because my former college teacher was like "you can't appreciate art" like btch this has nothing to do with art, it's about sticking to the original, the very same thing we all loved that brings us nostalgia.

Same.
For me personally it's reasonable. Some people just can't stand getting hundreds of hate comments on something they worked so hard on, like this artist
Sometimes the hate was too much and it overwhelms you, making you question if you really did do anything wrong
Looking at the choices, confronting them would just get yourself yelled at which I'm sure some people aren't comfortable with, and keeping quiet would just give you the "BOOHOO YOU'RE SCARED BACKING AWAY HUH? YOU'RE SCARED THAT WE CALL YOU RACIST HUH???"
So the last resort was to apologize for it even if you believe you didn't do wrong. It'll give them the illusion they're winning, but atleast the hate will stop coming and you can look like you understand the 'message' they're trying to say
Trust me I got warned by a discord mod for saying the word Femboy a few years ago, and it's easier going "oh sorry I didn't know" than keeping your ground

And attitudes like this are why I hate race-swaps in general. Not only are they only really allowed to go in one direction, but the moment it happens, the original character is often deemed off-limits and forbidden to be portrayed again. You can ONLY portray the new, race-swapped version, or you're somehow a horrible racist.
Like that one person posted, "The original already has tons of fan art, just draw the new one."
It happened with the new She-Ra as well. A girl drew all the original characters, and basically got bullied and harassed off the internet.
I imagine the same thing is going to happen with Aragorn, too, as well as any other race-swapped characters when the M:tG cards come out. White Aragorn will be forbidden, and only the "new" one will be allowed, otherwise "you're raysist!"
Honestly, twitter needs to just be shut down. It's nothing but a toxic cesspool, and any good it does for humanity is vastly outweighed by the negatives.
That's because the entire point of race swaps is to erase white people. Race swapping has ALWAYS been inherently racist and morally wrong. Always. No exceptions.
Wait, are we talking about Aragorn from LOTR?

The erasure of redheads cannot go ignored any longer. It requires *retaliation* lol

@@toony1232 Look at the names of the directors and writers behind _every_ Hollywood film in which a redhead has been recast to be black.
I pray, I PRAY that actual US ADULTS aren't like this and are just trolls.
The ones in power are like this or at least are listening to people like this out of fear of getting canceled themselves.
If they’re left leaning politically then they’re most likely like this. That’s just how it is nowadays.

I'm "left-leaning". I grew up with the original white Ariel and I thought it was cool with her being black in the remake. I honestly haven't seen the remake due to Disney's track record with them.
I don't think the art was meant to be offensive and it's getting overblown. Please remember not everyone is part of a hive mind of hate and not everyone is the same on Twitter.
I knew it, first they blackwash, then they deem any reference to the original as "racist", then people gradually year over year just forget about even getting involved with any of it but they keep talking about the "improved" version until every reference has been changed ever original depiction has been censored and everyone just thinks like them. It's a long process but very effective.
"you're the one screaming it and making it about race" that was a powerful reply
I love the self-own.
The people who think Ariel is now black say that making the character white is racist.
So then by their own logic/rules making black Ariel over using OG white Ariel is racist.
Has anyone else noticed that when it comes to little mermaid art recently.People been drawing both of them together to avoid being attacked.
People need to stop being cowards. Stand up and fight against the left, stop trying to appease them. Appeasing them has NEVER ONCE worked, the left just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
@@SchemingGoldberg People need to stop being cowards. Stand up and fight against the right, stop trying to appease them. Appeasing them has NEVER ONCE worked, the right just keeps getting crazier and crazier.
Artist discredits orginal artist's work then proceeds to downplay that he discredited their work. Unhinged behaviour.
Woke gang: "The old version still exists if you don't like the new one!!! Stop crying about it!!!"
Artist: Draws the old version because it still exists and they have the right to draw that version if they want to
Woke gang: "RACIST!!! 😡"
Seriously, that had happened to She-ra, Scooby-Doo and now.... the Little mermaid 🤦♀️
Apparently, the SD fandom has been permanently gaslit into believing that Velma is a lesbian Latina, thanks to that mediocre ' Scoob ' movie and some other ' head canons '. Velma was, and is, a straight white American girl with German lineage.
Thankfully, 'Velma' was such an awful adaptation, that it failed to gaslight the fandom even more to make Velma permanently Indian.
I really hope the artist knows that their art is beautiful, and most people outside of the cesspool that is twitter really appreciate it!! They did nothing wrong and they shouldn’t have had to apologize
Honestly im still waiting for when the actually accurate CGI edited version of the film comes out. This art is just hype.
CGI-edited version? What?
@@wesmcinerny4524 yep, there's this guy that edits the remakes with CGI to make them more accurate to the original. After making the trailer, they said that they would try recreating the entire film.
@@dragonsman4733 Are they on RUclips?
@@dragonsman4733 CGI is alright and all, but I mostly prefer 2D animation.
@@dragonsman4733where? Please tell me I must know?
Peeps really do be acting as if the artist was obligated to make art based on the new version. "This scene pertains to the live action", "give space to the new cast", "there's already lots of OG Ariel art", the entitlement, the gall to demand artists only do what they want to see lol. If you want to commission, then be my guest lol
You can't complain about the remake, you can't not praise it, and it's as if it replaced the original, which has been part of a lot of people's childhoods. As usual, Twitter Freaks can cope and seethe
Alucard: "getting angry about books made for horny teenagers was Ridiculous then, and its Ridiculous Now."
"Then again, that's why your relationships kept failing. FACEBOOK."
It's crazy to me that drawing the ORIGINAL DESIGN of The Little Mermaid is now considered racist
These people either have no childhood or are stuck in this weird stigma that I can't even describe...
Classic is greater then live action.
Literally the original character design.
Amazing.

🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
Look dude. As long as Ariel is black…
Then skin color doesn’t matter 😂😂😂❤
Twitter: we hate racism.
Also Twitter: constantly gets mad when a character isn’t a certain race.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 You need to figure out what they mean by 'racism.' I'll give you a hint; it's not prejudice based on skin pigment. It's what they describe as 'white dominance.'
I honestly think why my race is like this is cause we're really insecure about the past and our place in the world, so we blame shit on some injustice that isn't there. That's how I feel, people get bent out of shape, I see it in my family and other black people I talk to a lot, course it's not everyone cause my close friends are really chill, but it's very common. Growing up, I was lucky to not be picked on cause of my race, I never felt less than others and never felt like I couldn't do things other people could. I just did stuff and no one ever told me no, and know I can draw, make music, 3d model and edit. I just felt human, race didn't matter to me growing up and still doesn't to me now. I DO get sick of the pandering and shit though lol. I don't need a black character to be on screen for me to be happy cause I don't care if I'm honest. What I'm really sick of is this back and forth of "now it's our turn to be on top!" to give an excuse for communities to be asses and babying minority groups, I personally don't need that shit. Just me though, and my outlook of the world.
Seems like you have a good head on your shoulders. I hope you can spread that rationality to the people around you. Heaven knows this world is full of delusion and fiery emotions and we need more steady minded individuals. I may be white, so I will never fully understand the experience, but as a woman i've seen similar trends. Attitudes from my peers saying "we should be allowed to hate on men because we've faced sexism for years!" I no longer have the energy to tell people why they're misguided. I just shake my head.
@@morganicsmoothie964 I really appreciate that, means a lot. I rarely find nice people on the internet lol. And sometimes I can be delusional too, it happens, based on a variety of things. To me, what's most important is fixing the issue. And yeah, the old attitude of "let's get payback" just makes things worse. We're supposed to correct the problem and move on but many just don't want to. Like now, people are hating on white people. The world was already divided enough.
you need to realise your experiences arent very poc’s or black’s, there is still a lot of racism and discrimination (especially in america), although it is a lie to say that black folk dont have representation in media, i mean i barely see WHITE irish folk at all b
I absolutely agree and relate to what you have said. I mean I have faced racism but that’s from certain black people and Asians which aka I’m black and Asian. Luckily it doesn’t happen a lot though. It happened only a few times even still I don’t care that much.
Considering they literally race swapped Ariel in the live action reboot and yet are calling this picture racist is incredibly ironic.
It’s not racist that’s the OG Ariel no matter how much they want to they can’t erase the fact that some people prefer that Ariel.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 And you know what? They are actually fine by doing what they call "fixing the art". Well that drawing is the original Ariel potrayed in almost anything from the old days even to video games like Kingdom Hearts so what part is it that screams racism.
@@nightday2030 It's the backlash that is racist, you see.
trying to push afrocenturism onto people [black supremacy] is by allowing 1 race swap but not the other, it's clear and blunt racism
sounds like " when they do it it's ok, when other do it it's a problem"
That art is what I’d like to call “fixing the broken canon”.
"That moment belonged to the current Ariel."
That current Ariel isnt even the real one. Just because she showed up in this movie as black doesnt mean shit.
If youre going to be mad at that, then be mad that they made her black IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Everyone always focuses on skin color. What about the extreme distance between the eyes of Halle? I mean, it is kinda fish-like, but only in a Lovecraftian sense.
They really went for the accurate fish anatomy on that casting lol
I could not stop staring at that most of the movie😂
It's not about race, it's about her fucking face.
She looks like the R word, like she belongs in special ed. Why did they do that? It looks bad.
Yeah and she’s really pretty too
"but that moment belong to the current Ariel", boy never have I ever felt so infuriated and annoyed by a comment
It drains your IQ, doesn't it?
These people love the fact you're walking on eggshell whatever you do in twitter. Power tripping twitter freak using moral to shame you
Remember when it was "Why are grown adults getting upset about a kids' character's skin color?" when people expressed doubts about the raceswap? Yeah, me too.
And once again this is why I don’t like race swaps because people freak out when someone wants to draw the original
Always remember guys, in a war, the winners are always the merchants.
That's why capitalism beats dictatorship
Yesnt actually, merchants hate war, never good for buiseness since you cant access all foreign markets
Merchants loves conflict however
When a Wholesome drawing comes out
Twitter: *AAAAAGGGRRRRRR!!!*
Imagine giving a perfectly reasonable response to accusations and Twitter is like: “But I want this to be problematic!”
I fucking knew it! I always wondered what would happen if Disney race swapped an original cartoon character and someone draws it. Rip Future cartoon animations.
That's like someone drawing a picture of the original Powerpuff Girls and then people getting mad because of the anime version where they're Japanese.
It’s like She-Ra all over again.
Yeah.
Love how the artist handled the situation - stated that the intention wasn't racist yet stood firm on the art style. If everybody were this tough, and don't bend to the mob, then I'm all up for it.
Messed up thing is, op said english wasn't her first language (which, tbf, it beyond obvious, idk how they didn't notice it), but some people went as far as accuse her of being racist for misspelling halle bailey's first name
The attack will give the artist popularity. Hopefully the artist takes advantage of the views and maybe earn some money.
True!
How dare they actually make the art look like the originals! REEEEEEE
I remember when Clownfish TV did a video about Twitiots getting mad at an artist who drew art of the original versions of She-Ra characters. It was very similar to this. These woketards don't like it when people remember that the original non woke version of things they wokeified exists. The woke versions literally exist to erase the original
Today they uploaded a video about this topic.
@@Sr.BulletBill I noticed.
Another day, another group of Twitter crazies acting like savages over artwork of a FICTIONAL CHARACTER
I think all the hate this is getting is a result of the current sickness of people wanting things to be easy. People want to feel good about fighting for some cause, but they dont actually want to put in any work. Rather than combating actual racists and serious problems which require effort and self sacrifice, they go for the easy path to that self-righteous high by attacking people online over mundane things.
Everyone wants to be a hero, but nobody wants to put in the work to be a hero. So they just attack things that result in zero consequences and make up fake excuses like "micro-aggressions" or "internal bias" to give them an excuse to get mad and people and feel like they are making a difference... Which they are, just not a positive one.
That is the core of the entire SJW movement.
@@DragoEpyon lol no. I’m an sjw and your another dumb conservative lol. That’s inaccurate.
Little Mermaid Written by Hans Christian Anderson, in 1837, in Denmark translated from Danish, based on caucasion characters, nuff said.
When they behave as if drawing the original is racist it just means they either didn’t grow up with the movie or are just chronically online
No, it means they hate white people and they want to genocide white people. It's as simple as that.
"This is erasure." Self awareness trapped in the Mariana Trench.
The leftist cult is so insane, they will unironically defend the worst piece of media known to man just because it supports the movement of the cult.
Just like Tumblr
Tbf I am leftist (I support the old left of my country which is France) and I find the tendency of the change of race insulting as much for the white people as for the people that these morons want to represent.
Just like I don't want a black Ariel, I don't want a white T'Challa. I want characters representing the culture they're inspired by, not skins sticking with the political correctness of your lobotomized industry. In short, if we stick to Disney, I want Jasmine, Raya, Tiana and Kida, but not Snow White, Ariel and who knows, surely Aurora one day, with dark skin that has nothing to do with the historical context of the original works.
Finally, the thing that annoys me the most is that the left in my country is increasingly invaded by people with the mentality and rhetoric of your leftists, while our history is not the same.
It's infuriating and just for that, I want to say shame on the USA. Your extremists, whether left or right, rot the whole world with their sickening ideologies and it makes me sick.
bruh little mermaid is not the worst piece of media known to man💀also "leftist cult" lmao
hey hey hey come on now. This is about The Little Mermaid not Velma or The Prince of Persia
Still better than the rightist cult who stormed the capitol in an attempt to violently overthrow the government because they refuse to accept that their man lost an election.
It's in summary the "You like Pancake, then you must hate Waffles!"
I like the artwork of ariel hope this guy doesn't quit because of these guys on twitter.
