@PetalsOfLilac nice try but while people did complain, they weren't rabid and angry as the people against Ariel are now. They didn't call the directors "woke". And it was only a fringe group that were mad, i.e., the diehard fans. Most people didn't give a shit. So no, the reaction to your example does not at all compare.
@somedude15 The post said "would you be upset if snow white had red hair, if not why does skin matter?" And the answer is yes I used a direct example to back up my claims and making them consistent, I'm not a big movie person but I'm a fan of percy jackson and know it to be a very specific example I'm familiar with.
If you can find examples of people supporting a change in cast, regarding hair color or any other change, then go ahead and show me
I know NO example of people loving a change, people ALWAYS complain about change, but race being a touchy and sensitive topic made the reaction seem a lot louder and talked about than it wouldve been for something not as sensitive like hair color.
