    Would it be fine for a white actor in makeup to play a black character

    Yes, black face is its own thing where the representation is offensive. The problem is the portrayal being offensive but acting is acting

    It was a remake of the Disney animated film that a bunch of people lost their shit over

    Then yeah put the girl in make up if she’s playing a white character. She would have gotten the role for being the best candidate and that would hold true either way

    real half-fish daughters of the god of the sea are white.

    Disney’s original character was but that doesn’t mean everyone is



  • Idk who any of these are except the last one but

    In defence of the first they appear to be in make up. If they’re playing a First Nations character that’s fine

    Just like the last one would be fine if she was in make up to be white

    But I assume the Little Mermaid wasn’t a remake, rather a completely separate story/character so it doesn’t matter
