Even if Ariel was lily white blonde and blue eyes, it is overall very concerning and signals something of deep cultural decline that Disney, and big budget media at large, still is pumping out SO many remakes. Not to mention Western 2D animation is basically dead.

I shall go as far to say it is downright cruel to just brush everything off with apathy.
In other words - I'm sure you're lovely IRL anon but you need to touch grass, and look around your town and wake up. Faggot.
