It's okay when Disney does it. What a world. Poor AI, how are they supposed to learn if all its data is created by mentally ill and crazy people. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
WDYM?
Only their new SW trilogy comes to mind, but in SW racism among humans was something limited to very backwards (savage by SW standards) planets, racism of humans towards other spacefaring races and vice versa was more of an issue, so a villain of any kind of human race is normal there.
It's rather the purely cinematographic part which clearly made skin color more notable for whichever reason, and there would be some racists among viewers.
Probably they knew they can't reach the quality level of OT and PT, so made such things intentionally during production so that they could later complain about fans being racist.
Have you read the article? It was about misrepresenting historical figures, racism was just a small part.
It was about favoring diversity, even if it's historically inaccurate or even impossible. Something Disney is very good at.
I have, I was asking about Disney reference only.
Are you referring to the little mermaid? If so, get tf over yourself... it's literally a fictional children's story.
Do you have examples?
