is there truly a movement against Disney’s Cultural Appropriation or are these just examples of Disney sharing or bringing cultures to the mainstream?
I mean, the post is just a joke, but is the underlying theme at least something people really care about? More than they care about the representation these movies have given to these cultures?
100%. As the first example I can think of out of pocket (and there are many more if you take a cursory look at any of their movies), they tried to file a trademark to claim "Dia de los Muertos,” or “Day of the Dead”. The backlash was pretty fucking insane.
That one is shitty, but mind giving more example? As a non-white and non-westerner i'm very confused about all these "cultural appropriation".
OP would be complaining that they didn't show enough diversity if they didn't have these movies. Can't win with some people.
