This literally has nothing to do with what the op was talking about.

They thought the CHARACTER was cool and fun, and the comment had nothing to do with whether or not the play itself was "dark" or not. Her comment was all about her childhood crush being played by someone of the opposite gender, and they kind of derailed the topic - and kept going on about how she got "schooled" and "wants to stick her head in the sand" when really the "LOOK YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE THIS STORY IS DARK" just had nothing to do with her comment.

I swear to god, that's all some people care about in regards to stuff aimed at kids - whether or not it's "dark." You can't discuss anything else about them.

Also, I like how you're assuming she doesn't know about Cinderella and The Little Mermaid since people bring that up constantly. Pretty sure everyone knows it already, sorry if that ruins the fun of "ruing someone's favorite character" when she never even said anything at all about those characters.

Right, the topic was that Mary Martin got her shitty vagina cooties all over Crossy's crush on a peanut butter mascot, and how dare they have her boy crush played by a woman. Never mind that Peter's not there to be crushed on and that the live action character is traditionally played by a woman. That's shitty casting because it made Crossy uncomfortable about her special feelings.

"Never mind that Peter's not there to be crushed on"

Most characters aren't, and yet, people crush on them all the time. Is someone wrong to have a crush on a character just because the story has a somewhat dark origin?

Nope, but it's super entitled to throw a homophobic little hissy fit over the casting because of it.

... is being disappointed that a character doesn't look the way you imagined them really "homophobic" though?

I rarely get crushes on characters, but I've definitely felt disapponted when going into a movie adaptation of a book and seeing a character played in a way that is totally different from how I imagined them. Yeah, I know they aren't required to fit anyone's image (especially since everyone will have a different image in their own mind), but the feeling is pretty natural and not in itself entitled.

No, but that doesn't make the casting "shitty" or "disturbing."

(Anonymous) 2016-12-14 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's unnatural.

(Anonymous) 2016-12-14 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's not.

It's practically pedophilia. Crossy Woad said so.

Well, obviously a pissy, entitled internet whiner is the ultimate authority on that.
