    It’s about making movies for little girls. It’s also about representation.

    I do think Disney was thinking about it, because they saw the backlash and they kept doing it.

    So doing it again in spite of the negative reaction is what it looks like when they care?

    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?

      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?

      I think they’d cast a pasty white girl as Snow White.

      Does that really make sense?

      Not at all.
