The Little Mermaid. Why you gotta do my girl like that? (Actually, we already know)
Yet another live action, theatrical, cash-grab remake from the Mouse House. Immediately, we know it’s going to be… meh.
Then, add the pandering culturally diverse casting for representation updated for modern sensibilities. I find this insulting. People of color deserve better than being retconned into a 25 year old movie. Stop it!
Princess and the Frog, Encanto, Raya and the Last Dragon, Lilo and Stitch, Moana. How about some live action versions of those? (To be fair, there was Aladdin, but Lilo and Stitch appears to be stuck in development hell)
Of course there’s the musical butchery vocal stylings of YouTube-famous chanteuse Halle Bailey. What business does she have fixing the melodies of EGOT winner Alan Menken? Save it for your solo world tour, girlie!

They literally look the same age but guess which one's actually a year younger and gets infantalized to hell and back by the fandom over hurting people who're even younger and which one gets called a grown ass man and expected to be the adoptive dad of his entire canon unofficial girlfriend and older brother to the guy he deadass flirts with countless times onscreen

I think we should romanticise brown eyes more. I've started to fall in love with my brown eyes for the first time in my life and it is so, so refreshing. Brown is beautiful.
Dear people with brown eyes, I love you. Those whose eyes are too dark to see pupils, I love you. People with eyes the colour of healthy soil, with eyes that are deep and dark and rich brown, I love you. Your eyes are worthy of being romanticised. They may not be the colour of the ocean, or leaves on a tree, but they're brown like bark, or chestnuts, or dark as night, deep like memory, beautiful and unique.

White Jason Todd stans will always tell you that he has no well-written romances with girls in canon so i believed them and followed along with them saying he should be with Roy until i actually read his comics and found out literally all his female love interests have been woc

As a community it is vital that we uplift POC trans voices. Not just because we deserve to be heard (and believe me we do) but because trans children of color deserve to know they have this option. They deserve to see themselves represented alive and happy.

thinking about how raph, april, and mikey are less focused on by the fandom than donnie and leo, the only two main characters in rottmnt with white voice actors
#to be clear this is not a “callout” nor am i trying to inspire discourse/attack anybody#it’s just something i’ve been thinking about for a while that i feel deserves more... ig recognition? by the fandom at large#like i know a part of it is definitely the shows’ fault and their own unspoken biases#but i can’t turn a blind eye when i see human versions of the turtles that consistently have see and lee be lighter skinned#even if they are all represented as poc#like to reiterate: this is not a call-out#it could absolutely just be the niche of the fandom that i find myself in (in which this is a massive self report)#and i absolutely need to do better as well!!#but i haven’t seen this talked about as much as i feel it should#esp with april— i mean i already am aware about the fandom bias toward male characters#but it makes it doubly hard for her character which is a shame seeing as she is a queen#+ my fav representation of april in the entirety of the tmnt canon so far#i understand with mikey that it could be excused due to the fact that his character was focused on less#but raph? he has sooo much good characterization that i often see given to leo in fic/fanart#like i said: this is a lot more nuanced than what i’ve talked about#and i am by no means perfect#i just think we as a fandom should at the very least recognize this aspect of ourselves#idk i’m definitely not the best person to be talking about this#but i’ve been turning it over in my head for a while so i figured i might as well just. say it#rottmnt#rottmnt meta#racism#tw racism#internal bias#if anybody has something to add feel free#just like. be civil please? like i don’t think anyone is doing it on purpose (obviously)#just something to be aware of

No, my feelings towards Billy won't change. I've already said why I like him and I'm not planning on wasting my energy giving one damn about what the antis have to say about the situation. I'm tired, exhausted, so yeah.
But, before I out myself of Tumblr, let me get what Caleb said straight...
Jason: *gets his friend to assault Erica, who btw is 11, and to even tackle her, fucking throws hands and fists towards Lucas, points a loaded gun to his head and even shoots it (thankfully fails)* Misunderstood, he was friendly with him before ofc he's not bad.
Billy: *Tells Max that she cannot hang around with Lucas, slams Lucas against a wall as a threat, tells him to stay away from his sister and yet he doesn't bat an eye time after when he knows his sister is going to the Christmas ball with him, and even sacrifice himself much time later to save his sister and, oh right, the black kid he's supposed to hate ONLY because he's black and not necessarily because he was dating his little sister, and because maybe Neil would have beaten the shit outta him if he had found out* Racist, awful piece of shit. Evil to the core
Y'all serious? Nothing against Caleb, it's his opinion, but it feels off to me. More considering that Dacre said that, for him, Billy wasn't a racist. And, oh yeah, Dacre also played him so it must mean something. Let Billy finally die and never make mention of his name again if y'all hate him so much (yess Duffers, I'm talking to you), but for the love of god, stop portraying the dead 18 year old abused kid as a hideous monster, as if he was somehow worse than Henry and Brenner.

I love blue beetle and its message and I wish more people had watched it and I understand that the lack of promotion both because of the strikes and because the studios don't give a shit has affected it negatively and the role that racism/xenophobia play in people's disinterest towards the characters in general BUT PLEASE let's also not forget about superhero fatigue
