The revolution will be won in thigh highs.
Yeah I getcha. Its idiots who know nothing parading like they are intelligent because they “question” things but they don’t know HOW to question things and it leads to exactly what you’ve described where dickheads think they are intellectuals because they question vaccines but blindly lap up holistic medicine and grifter bs.
I absolutely do. They made a big deal about casting all the voice actors for the remake of the lion King as black actors which was a rare bit of consideration by Disney but it felt performative (to me at least) and too little too late but as a filthy anglo I’m always hesitant to shout my takes too loudly regarding the above considering its not my culture that is getting fucked about.
Like the Raya example, I listened to a podcast by East and South East Asian Internet peeps regarding how it handled their culture before shitting on Disney because frankly what do I fucking know.
Couldn’t agree more.
I’m ashamed to say I adored Mulan as a kid but because I thought Mulan was badass and not because Mushu was a compelling character. Why couldn’t the cricket have done the comic relief? It was infinitely funnier.
Now I can’t bring myself to engage with any Disney products/movies/etc because I’m older and see the abject racism they’ve normalised and profited off.
I wonder what culture they bastardise next.
I like Caitline and the fact her website has easy access soundcloud recordings of the whole articles for free without any bs is just the icing on the cake for me.
