Article: "Black Little Mermaid" Halle Bailey, mixed reactions to her casting
Source: SBS funE via Nate
1. [+976, -29] It's not that she's black that's the problem ㅠㅠ what is this
2. [+891, -56] Please change it to Amber Heard now while we can... If the movie wants to be so modern so bad, have the mermaid a lesbian who falls in love with another princess and goes to land to join protests and make friends with refugees... This is really angering me...
3. [+579, -112] This is the result of feminazis and the PC crowd and it'll only get worse from here ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Soon Snow White will be black too
4. [+90, -2] Can't they cast her as Pocahontas or Moana ㅠㅠㅠ not the Little Mermaid...
5. [+81, -2] It's not that she's black that's the problem, it's that she's not pretty when she's supposed to be playing a princess. I want my fairy tale princesses to be pretty.
6. [+68, -0] Her dream may have come true but the dream many have of what the Little Princess looks like has been shattered
7. [+66, -0] Amber Heard from 'Aquaman' is probably the closest to the real Little Mermaid; Ariel is supposed to be white with red hair ㅠ
8. [+63, -0] It's not that she's black, she just doesn't fit the image of Ariel;;;
9. [+55, -1] It's not that she's black, it's that she's ugly
10. [+52, -0] This is just... I don't care that she's black but there should be at least some similarities to the character, no?
