Holy crap. That Tiana post has over 2,700 notes.
I responded to, hopefully, the last thread response. I’m blocking the notifications for the Tiana, Poca, and second Snow edit.
At the moment, I have 187 messages. I’m still not sure if I’ll get to those tonight or not.
still waiting for any sign that you recognize the error of your ways.
Unfortunately, I don’t think she understands. I really think she’s too immature to understand how underrepresented POC are in Disney and what she did is insensitive.
Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo, I do understand they’re underrepresented. That’s the only reason I was making them black, as well. It’s all in the link on the original post.
You still don’t get it all the way.
You’re doing really good for understanding the need for more POCs. That’s great I’m super glad you got that.
But in your original posts you claim you’re recoloring princesses because you want them to look like You. You have plenty of representation and you’re coloring over other people’s representations.
That’s disrespectful. That was inadvertently racist on your part.
You DID SOMETHING RACIST.
You’re saying just because I’m white I look like the other women. That’s not true. I’m talking about details, not generalities. You’re talking about generalities, not details. Generally speaking, yes, I resemble the white ladies because they’re white, but they don’t look exactly like me. A few people saying, “Oh, there are already white princesses with listed characteristics.” Well, yes, which is why I’m not editing them. I’m changing who doesn’t have those three things to have them.
Alice, Cinderella—they’re not gunna be edited. They already look, detail-wise, like me. (Their hair’s a lot lighter, but it’s still blonde.) If, detail-wise, they don’t look like me—Ariel doesn’t, Snow doesn’t, Poca doesn’t, Tiana doesn’t—I’m going to edit them. I don’t know how they look with my physical characteristics because they don’t have them. It’s not a matter of generalities for me. It’s details.
If you wanted these princess to look like you and not just with general coloring why not draw you own? Why didn’t you change their eye shape, nose shape, chin shape, etc? All you changed was their coloring. So your argument, again, makes no sense. These characters do not need to have your coloring; there are enough white, blonde, blue eyed princess in the Disney world. I keep seeing you switch your story, over and over again, all in an attempt to confuse us. But what you did is racist. Instead of playing ignorant, read it, read more about this topic, and make a change. Playing the victim is doing nothing for you, accept bring more white apologists over to defend you.
If you want princesses to have your coloring and facial features DRAW YOUR OWN.
