Would you be upset if a Snow White movie cast a red haired actress?

Given how most portrayals show a black/dark haired snow white? Why would that upset you?

If this would not upset you, but black Ariel does - why? If hair color doesn't matter why does skin color?

People would complain. Considering theyve complained about inaccurate hair colors before

@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.

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.
