Disney deliberately makes these choices, knowing it will piss people off,
Do you really think that Disney was focused on what lonely white men think while casting these actresses for princess movies?
Because that makes you sound like someone who is so used to being the default demographic for everything that maybe you have trouble processing the idea that this specific thing just isn’t about you.
It’s about making movies for little girls. It’s also about representation.
Do you actually think Disney are pushing diversity for the sake of social justice? They don’t give a shit about representation if it doesn’t make them money.
So doing it again in spite of the negative reaction is what it looks like when they care?
Yes, the ensuing culture war puts Disney at the centre of attention.
What do you suppose it would look like if they didn’t care what lonely white men think?

What do you suppose it would look like if they didn’t care what lonely white men think? They’d react directly to their desires and not do it again?
Does that really make sense?

Not at all.
