The Little Mermaid. Is it getting flak because of racism, or because it's yet another remake?

[WalterSlovotsky]

Ffs the BBC article already got locked because of rampant blatant transphobia. Can we not have that here too?

Not a single person has mentioned anything in regards to trans anything, beyond me using the example of the attempted boycott against the new Hogwarts game.

And you are already calling for a thread to be locked? Are you THAT offended, Socialist?

Please point out a single "transphobic" comment on this entire thread.

I just... are you this dense? I don't want the thread to be locked, I want the opposite you dunce. Stop looking for ways to insult me because of the word I use to define my politics and maybe you'll be able to actually comprehend the things I write.

Some people are perpetually offended. The trans ones seem to get especially uppity when you criticise them, but you know this already.

You literally asked why this thread couldn't be locked. You came right out and asked why it couldn't happen.

I wasn't insulting you, unless you mean by referring to you as a Socialist. Personally, I understand. I would be HIGHLY insulted if someone referred to ME as something so stupid.

You DID, however, call me a dunce, and suggested that I was dense. I've allowed you insult me more than once without response. I will not allow that again.

Do not make false accusations. No one said anything phobic on this entire thread. Stop trying to play victim.

Again.

Are you dense? I said "Can we not have that here" because I don't want another thread locked, I.E. don't be transphobic so we can all keep talking here.

Lol you can't act like you weren't trying to shit talk me and then go "but if I was called this I would be insulted".

I wasn't the one to bring testicles into this??? Like why is it so hard for you transphobes to not bring up people's genitals? This is the Little Mermaid thread for christs sake!

You're one to talk, considering the fact that your gross erotic fanfiction about another user's anus is why we can't use the BBC fact checking thread anymore.

Who the hell said anything about TRANS ANYTHING? WHO BROUGHT UP GENITALS?!

I referenced a BOYCOTT. In relation to a social issue. Just like how THIS is tied to yet another social issue that gets people up in arms.

No one, not one, said anything negative about the LGBT community on this thread. There is no worry about it being locked, because what you are IMAGINING, literally does not exist.

Kind of like... the LGBT folks angry at J.K. Rowling because she does not want a man who has testicles to compete against women without a single Y chromosome in their entire bodies in sports competitions?

You can't just lie when there is text directly disproving you FOUR MESSAGES AGO.

I... have no clue what you are talking about.

There is a BBC fact checking thread? Never seen it, never posted on it, didn't know it existed.

You are very confused, my friend.

I referenced what JK ROWLING HERSELF said. I did not at any point offer a personal opinion on the matter, and said nothing at all negative about any trans individual. You are desperate to paint me as phobic. I have trans family members. I don't give a bloody flippiing flying fuck what anyone else does with their body.

You are a Socialist. I am a Libertarian. We are not the same.

You can SEE that I was quoting someone else. It's RIGHT THERE.

Holy shit I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

You edited your post. The edit history is there. Nice try, though.

Dude, just bow out of the conversation. You aren't contributing anything. You are just sniping at me and are completely off-topic.

You may continue. I am done engaging with you.

The site did not merge where you quoted and tagged ME and not mrdude. You went back and changed that. You're already a Socialist. Don't be a liar, too.

The site automatically merged the posts together, and you quoted it after that. You even removed the part you already quoted in another message! My comment literally DOES NOT MAKE SENSE OTHERWISE.

Try taking the high ground all you want, but you aren't gonna bullshit me into thinking something happened that patently did not. And I don't need your permission to continue or not. Engage or not, I don't care.

Back on topic;

In its opening weekend, this film has dominated the box office, taking in well over $100 million.

Do you think that it is going to maintain at this pace?

Personally, I think the initial response was based on the hype surrounding the film, more than anything. I do not believe it is strong enough to stand on its own, and will absolutely nosedive over the next two weeks.

It is a novelty, not a blockbuster. This movie will win no awards this year. Especially not that terrible fucking song, dear sweet twerking Christ on a Triscuit.

No. Without context, I can't tell which side you are on, with that meme. Which is why a lot of people use words when they have a specific point to make. That image honestly could be hitting both sides; the ones who don't want live action remakes AND the racists.

It could be saying that NEITHER is "affiliated with me".

I don't think it'll maintain that pace. Then again a lot of muppets are only watching it because "muh disney" and brand recognition so who knows.

kind of slightly off topic: there's a lot of passive aggressiveness in this thread lol
