This is really messed up. One of my favorite cosplayers on TikTok is being harassed because she’s a white Ariel! It’s absolutely ridiculous. She’s happy for the new Ariel! But now they’re telling her she can’t be Ariel because she’s white! #LittleMermaid

That's intersectional social justice for ya. These people are the exact mirror of the ones who hate to see a black Ariel. All nuance is lost and it's an all-out race war in the entertainment industry, pulled down to a snobbish level: which makes it petty and dangerous.

I mean, there's also a black cosplayer playing Tifa Lockhart. Nobody in their right mind would dare to point at her skin color and say "you're black you can't be tifa". It's more about expressing Tifa's signature appearance and portraying her inner self. Nobody IS Tifa (or Ariel)

There is a difference between cosplay and fully trying to redefine the original character.

This has happened time and again. Any time something new "racebends" an established character, the Woke attack anyone who likes or makes content of the character pre-racebending. They openly admit enjoying that too. They think they're taking things away from "oppressors."

So, the people that call other racists for not liking black Ariel are being racists towards a white Ariel. Talking about hypocrisy.

I was shocked. I looked at the date and realised it's September. The usual fighting over dressing up as fictional characters happens on Halloween I blame it on the 12% inflation.
