Disney is also involved in racism

This is a very undisney Disney princess movie!

In this world, when you come to the prosperous water market, the innocent and kind Disney princess thinks that there are thieves and liars here, two or three-year-old babies are despicable thieves who take advantage of the compassionate heart of good people, and the seemingly amiable grandma is deceiving people. A madman who feeds monsters, friends who think you know each other will betray you again and again, and then bite you back.

Never before has so many negative elements been in the same Disney movie, let alone a Disney princess movie.

And the kind, beautiful, just, and brave Disney princess, in order to save the world, had to forgive the betrayal again and again, and finally gave her own life to influence the betrayal and usher in a happy ending.

Why is it like this scenario? Is such a plot still widely praised abroad?

Is it a Disney screenwriter? Disney, who made Mulan, doesn't understand Asian culture? Or does Disney not understand princess movies at all? Obviously not, so excluding these elements, we can only start from the background of this film, which is a story constructed with materials in Southeast Asian countries. This includes Vietnam, where the United States fought during the Vietnam War. It is easy to imagine how American veterans after the Vietnam War would chat with their descendants about this glorious time after returning home.

"We went there to help them. We had guns, but we didn't want to hurt anyone! Those nasty squinting Asians, we just wanted to grab something by the way, and those old men attacked us like crazy , their children are all thieves and thieves, trying to steal our bullets and supplies, and in the end there was really no way, in the witness of God, we can only launch a just counterattack"

The directors and screenwriters may have grown up in such a family background, or in order to obtain sufficient benefits in the domestic market, they arranged these episodes.

Even if Shenlong has cute big eyes like Princess Elsa and turns into a human shape, he must be squinting and squinting (when it is said that racial discrimination abroad, this has been sprayed more than once). The gentle and kind Disney princess will also be betrayed three times, and there is no sense of disobedience, because there are sinister Asians living there. The most unbearable thing for me is that the mount of the Asian princess turned out to be a watermelon worm! ! ! The white princess is the fairy godmother, the cute elf, and the Asian princess is the watermelon bug? ? The modeling looks very cute. You can download pictures on Baidu. Children who grew up in rural areas must have seen that thing. If you can let that thing stay on the back of your hand for ten seconds, I will respect you as a man. .

Seeing this, some people may say that the landlord thinks too much, and the landlord has a problem with his brain, but in Europe and the United States, where the racial problem is serious, Disney must have a complete set of solutions to find and solve these problems, but this movie still did this. , which makes me have to think of the growing issue of Asian discrimination in the news.

In the end, I just want to say: "Disney, be pure, just keep it innocent, don't mix it up everywhere, you can't control it"

  • Raya: Hold on.

    [Sisu grabs onto Raya. She swings across the pit but stops midway. Turns out Sisu's hind legs were still perched on the edge of the cliff]

    Sisu: Oh, we were doing a jumpy thing? So sorry. My bad. I get it now.

  • Raya: Actually, Sisu, I think we're going to go with your plan.

    Sisu: What? My plan? You're going with my plan?

    Raya: Yeah.

    Sisu: Alright! You're not going to regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Knives? Cats with knives? Knives with cats on them?
