Er, we're all aware that Disney is not an appropriate representation of the true stories they base some of their movies upon. That has nothing to do with why she wasn't involved in the games. If KH was historically accurate (read: not Disney-based), I could see why it would cause a problem, but Squeenix took the stories directly from Disney, who, as we know, mangles things, and we're back to the beginning again.

The problem with using her as a character in KH would be just reinforcing the inaccuracies once more. :/ That should NOT happen.

Well, they already did it with a million other stories, and as Disney is a fairly vital part of American culture (and other cultures as well, if Kingdom Hearts's existance is any indication), I don't think keeping Pocahontas out of a video game is going to end Disney's iron reign of racism and inaccuracy.

*shrug* I don't know. I've loved Pocahontas for a very long time, and when I was little I had no concept of racism or culture; I just liked it for what it was. And as we age, I assume, we realise that Disney stories are not the way things really are or were.
