“erm if we get a black aerial, that means we should have a white Tiana! 😡” i’m going to hold your hand while I say this mermaids aren’t real, but Tiana is Tiana is based off of a real black woman…

[@Silburific]

And even if she weren't, Tiana's race is an important aspect of both her character and the narrative as a whole. She works herself to the bone, "pulling herself up by her bootstraps" the way people love to exclaim, and it accomplishes _nothing_ because of the racist people and systems at play in her world. It isn't until she has powerful allies (both in terms of political power with a prince and a physical presence with Louis) that she's able to force those discriminating against her to treat her with respect. Literally what bearing does Ariel's skin color have on her story? Or Snow White's, or Aurora's or Cinderella's or Belle's for that matter? 9 times out of 10, the PoC princesses' race is actually a very important aspect of the story they're in and making them white would literally change the story.

[@firerose_3605]

@@Silburific you said this beautifully and I agree with every last one of them except for snow White, because technically her race has to do with the story *KIND* because the reason why her name is Snow White is because of how pale she is but everything else you said I completely agree with

[@andreadrussel2716]

@@firerose_3605 I'm on the fence about snow white's name because it doesn't matter how she is called in the story, it's just for the sake of using the same title. You could change the reason why the princess is called snow white, like maybe she was born during a snowstorm. Her pale skin does'nt matter either, the mirror never explained what made snow white more beautiful than the evil queen ; because she's young while the queen is becoming too old ? Because she is beautiful on the inside ? But I also know that snow white is one of the only fairy tale princesses to have a physical description, so whatever version you pick (not just disney) she always looks similar, and it would be weird to change that now.

[@Seikotaroftw]

​@@firerose_3605 That's a sentiment i see echoed a lot but I'd like to passionately comment on it as a black person whose favorite Disney princess is Snow White. Snow White is her color, not her race. Anyone of any race can be her skin color. So that's not the issue. Even if you have person of any color or race play her and still have the base story, It's still snow white. Anyone can recognize a snow white story. We've gotten versions of snow white where she either wasn't as pale as paper and had fairer skin, had a different name, or wasn't even true to her original innocent character. So clearly it doesn't matter to certain people as long as she's racially white. When people say "you can't have another race be snow white it won't be snow white anymore" it really bothers me. Not saying this for you because you never said that, but it comes off as a lil bit weird the way other people do. Snow White's personality has NOTHING to do with her race. Her story has NOTHING to do with her race. It is just HER name and the name of the book. I swear, if it wasn't the name of the book we'd have a bunch of different races playing snow white. The Little Mermaid didn't even HAVE a name before disney gave her one. Her name and thus, skin color means THAT little. Skin Color does not equate to race. She is a sweet, innocent young girl who has a lot of bad stuff happen to her but still sticks to her kind nature throughout and it pays off in the end (talking about the disney movie but kind of the tale too). So i ask you, Can a black girl not be kind and innocent? Can a black girl not BE snow white in her character? That's what it boils down to. Snow White's race and color are not integral to the story, to bring up Coal Black and The Sebben Dwarfs. Yes, it was a VERY racist cartoon from the 1940s that was a thinly veiled excuse for WB to show off their cool new animation. It told the story of a black girl, unfortunately named So White, in a snow white story. Albeit heavily abridged and littered with American World War 2 propaganda, it still told the base recognizable story of snow white. I like the character of So White. I think she's pretty, has a cute singing voice and adorable ditzy personality. I would love to see more of her in something else. But i can also step back and realize that she was a racist depiction of a black girl. She was drawn a more sexualized body and was put in skimpy clothing, she was shown to be naturally promiscuous, she was dumb, she was subservient. She didn't get to stand up for herself and lay down ground rules the way the disney snow white got to just 6 or 7 years prior, she got right to cooking and cleaning and didn't say a word. Things just HAPPENED to So White and it didn't affect her. The short i think helped pushed this narrative that if a black girl was in the place of Snow White she wouldn't be as innocent, as pure. She would be promiscuous, adultified, dumb, more masculine. People would struggle to see even Disney's snow white as innocent and pure if she was black. This applies to even now. And she wouldn't be pale. She wouldn't be Snow White. It's as if Snow White's innocence relies solely on the racial whiteness we as a society have associated with her. Think about if there was a snow white story, and snow white was black. It would still be called snow white, not because of her skin color, but because of her innocence and kindness. Snow White's innocence and kindness is the other, more story prominent meaning of her name. The association between white and innocence is a HEAVY part of the original tale. Her white skin is a metaphor and nod to her "white" purity. I feel like we should kinda question that but i wont get into it. Her skin color, and thus race has nothing to do with the integral story of snow white. Anyone of any race or color can go through her story and have it be the same. And it could still be called Snow White. People really need to use the whole "anyone can be cinderella" in the case of Snow White. ANYONE can be snow white. I always encourage people to really dissect putting a person of color in the place of snow white. What changes? Her skin tone obviously and some descriptors of her skin tone, as rare as they are, but what else? Nothing. Sorry for the super long message i get really passionate about snow white, none of this is a hit piece on you, you didnt do anything wrong. I just really wanted to plead my case on this and maybe try and get my thoughts out there. I love Snow White so much. I would KILL for a black snow white with a sweet high pitched voice and the same personality as the original disney version but expanded 😄

u can tell he doesnt watch the media he criticises, nor the media he praises. he clearly just bases his opinions off of online discourse regarding said-media... and judging by the tone of his video, it's evident *where* the discourse he engages w is coming from. i think bringing up static shock is the most blatant example of this; he definitely just saw some people praising it online and using it as their token black political media (to not look racist when they attack other black political media), and decided to name drop it for the sake of the head nodders in his audience who might not have felt comfortable w his thinly-veiled racism up until that point in the video. this is only furthered by uncle ruckus being one of his examples - if youre an edgy, "anti-sjw" racist but cant handle being ascribed the label of "racist", then u watch the boondocks to come off as tolerant and socially-aware whilst completely missing the point of the show and its underlying narrative; instead favouring characters like riley and uncle ruckus wo realising that the show actively-mocks those characters. bro definitely complained abt the boys "turning political". halle bailey and rachel ziegler are astounding vocalists - he wouldve known that if he'd actually watched any of the topics his speaks abt in his content and the fact that he called them both "bad singers" w his whole chest makes it impossible to take anything he says seriously imho

[@mk_gamíng0609]

There is a conversation to be had since changing someones skin colour does not create good representation There is culture behind these races too, There is more to race than skin colour , For example You cannot simply change the colour of a white British person to Black and now they are Black British Black British people are very in tune with there culture of Origins and often immerse themselves into it , So having a race-swap is not good representation since it goes further than that So you would have to go out of your way to fundamentally rewrite a character to effectively raceswawp them and at the point are they even the same character?

[@Gametoon05]

My opinion is that, I don't really care about the whole "representation" angle of it. I just think raceswapping should be allowed because anyone should be allowed to play who they want if race isn't important, and to prevent such is discriminatory.

@@Gametoon05 The general sentiment is nice, but remember that non-white people are disadvantaged already compared to white people when it comes to securing jobs in the acting industry. This is due to a combination of individual discrimination and systemic holdovers from when folks could be more blatantly racist.

Second, people laud the 1987 cartoon version of April as "the original" when that wasn't actually the original. The idea that she was black in Mirage Comics TMNT, her actual original appearance, is indeed a myth, and she was white there aside from a couple of instances in which she was given darker skin or looked closer to a black woman. She did, however, have some multicultural inspirations that are worth noting: at one point she was conceived as Asian and her name was inspired by a black woman. April is also one of the least consistent characters in TMNT adaptations anyway. In Mirage, 2003, and IDW, she was an assistant scientist to Baxter Stockman, but the 1987 cartoon made her a news reporter, and in TMNT 2012 she's got special powers. At that point why not get mad about those very significant details to change about her, rather than race which was pretty insignificant in comparison?

Great, detailed Insight on April You know the character Hun, Leader of the Purple Dragons from TMNT 2003 cartoon series? Hun did appear in TMNT 2012, and he was race-swapped to be Asian. He looks more like Bruce Lee. And Hun also appears in the recent Tales of TMNT Mayhem Cartoon series. Where he was race-swapped to be Hispanic. I find it interesting that people don’t angry when Hun gets Race-swapped compare how they reacted when April gets race-swapped.

Saying Hazel is race-swapped Timmy is like saying Miles Morales is race-swapped Peter Parker. Also forget late FOP, Ask Air clearly hasn't watched Bunsen is a Beast, Butch's most hated show that he completely stands by as being good.

from what I've seen, people don't find TTG as annoying as they used to. Yeah it still has obnoxious jokes but it's not the spawn of Satan. And the movie is actually considered not bad. This guy really is stuck in the past lmao

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

​@@iluvwinter840 It's crazy to think how the Internet ruthlessly flamed TTG this hard back in 2010s that the cartoon community ever milking the cow out of the hate train, when in reality the show is just average at best. It does have some mean-spirited and lackluster humor, but it does have its good moments. Ask Air is the epitome of everything what is wrong with the cartoon community.

“Most confidently wrong video” 😂. It’s truly baffling how ignorant his points were. I’ve heard bad criticisms before but at least then I could understand where their points where coming from I didn’t agree with it and it overlooked and ignored context at times but at least I could understand the point they were making. This man clearly didn’t do any kind of research or exposure. He was legit just hating on this show because it was reboot and gets mad at when when people call him out on it, what a joke😂

Give Mr. Enter this, at least with the Turning Red review he realized a lot of his criticisms were incredibly stupid, especially the 9/11 thing.

Well that and the fact that his criticism wasn’t borderline racist

Idk why but my biggest pet peeve is how inconsistent Askair’s avatar art style is. And using them for a dumb video.

8:13 did we suddenly forget that there was an episode of the original fairly odd parents where cosmo and wanda got a smartphone and kept yelling, "Ducklips!" And making ducklips at the camera (Y'know, several years after it became outdated). It's not just a reboot thing, it was a " the animation writers wanna reference something they didn't realize was outdated." Thing.

[@K.K.Station]

2:11 UNFAITHFUL???? A New Wish is THE MOST faithful I've ever seen to a series. Heck, there are rules and Characters that they reference in this series that I COMPLETELY forgot about because they dug deep The only part I'd argue against is Magical Buildup being a permanent death thing, but it was to build stakes and other fan theories show how it can technically be perma-death while fitting into the lore of the series (i.e. blowing away before getting fixed) But this guy is nuts 😬
