I get where he is coming from, and yes Disney has pushed a line with inclusion and acceptance to kinda pushing an agenda.I'm pretty sure he's saying he doesn't want Disney to force feed their agendas through their child-based movies.
But, like everything it’s a pendulum. A line was being pushed for a while, soon it will start to swing back and the horror of young girls reading will be the main cause for concern again.
I do have to say, let’s take the live remake of the little mermaid for an example. So much drama over casting a black actress to play Ariel. Ok, if casting a different race to play a half fish half human is that big of a deal, then either those people need something more to do as obviously there aren’t enough real problems in their life, or well ya know it’s a race thing. Me personally I’m in horror of them replacing my favorite Disney character ever -Ursela (who was modeled after a drag queen) my Melissa McCarthy (euw). Kinda like ruining Robin Williams genie with Will Smith. Had nothing to do with race, everything to do with you can’t beat the original.
But I digress. To a kid, is the race of the actress portraying Ariel that big of detail or even noticeable? To someone of a different race, maybe they can see themselves, but tot he average kid I doubt.
