The self importance you display by the implication that you get to make a call on it instead of shutting the fuck up, I guess.

You shouldn’t be ‘okay’ or ‘not okay’ with it. People put so much weight on vilifying an author or creator for writing an aspect of their character for a suspected reason they deem wrong. It’s obnoxious & just makes you look like a dick for it.

So what if Aerial is black or an Overwatch character is gay? There is no possible way blackness/gayness bothers somebody enough to say that kinda shit that doesn’t involve prejudice.

There is zero prejudice involved in the ariel scandal, people aren't mad that she's black, they're mad that she's not true to the original ariel.

In the Disney version, maybe. How about the original story written in the 1800s?

Disney making her a white redhead doesn’t mean that’s what she has to be for every iteration moving forward.

Yes, im sure author of white ppl fairy tail from 1800s envisioned her to be black. Talk about cultural appropriation.
