    Oh trust me black girls loved Little mermaid way before this.

    Source: went to school in the 90s. Kids just “liked shit”

    With that said I bet money that Disney does the race swap to piss off conservatives so they vote in their assholes that will keep corporate tax low/non existent… much like how YouTube will immediately send you down that Nazi path the second you watch anything remotely political. All about that taxes.

      It’s racist by making fun of people wanting representation. But the sexism is quite strong in this meme …

        His brain lack wrinkles, so black people = racist.

        If he said sexist I could see the angle but he went full retard on this take.

        It’s saying representation doesn’t actually matter and girls are just sensitive, or what else would it be saying?

          its a white guy saying black kids prolly liked this white guy like i liked this white therefore black kids must be ok with no representation and we shouldn’t give it to them.

          thats what this meme is saying and it is indeed racist

            yeah the intention of this meme is obviously anti-representation which is usually due to subconscious racism. No idea why people are so defensive of this post.

      The point of the post isn’t about the race of the children (OP was careful to make them both the same race in the comparison). The point is a difference in gender, with boys and girls fantasizing about being fictional characters differently.

        oh if he was careful to only include black kids in his meme about a black character vs a white character then there must be no racism.

          You’re completely ignoring the “boys” vs “girls” part and only seeing the race of fictional characters. But, who knows, maybe OP is making a racist dog whistle. I didn’t take it that way, you can take it however you want. I just stopped caring.

      Agreed on the racist (and sexist, obviously), genuinely surprised (and glad for you) it’s the first.

    God fucking damn it people you know this is literally a stonetoss comic right? This isn’t a funny meme you’re quoting an actual neonazi.
