>Diversity doesn't mean much if it's only superficial.

That isn't true at all. You think a bunch of little girls are going to think, "Well, I was going to be excited about this princess that looks like me but I think Disney is just doing this for publicity! Ugh." No, the people who these characters matter to the most don't give a shit about the politics behind it. They are just excited to see a princess/superhero/whatever that looks like them.

Yup.

there will never be a Disney princess who looks like me.

Sorry, guess we can just have all white ones again?

I'm not talking about race. I'm not pretty and Disney princesses must be pretty.

Not everything is about you.

Of course it isn't. Everything is about the pretty girls.

IA but we also shouldn't give Disney much credit for it

Companies won't change unless people support them when they change.

Or boycott them in favor of creative endeavors that better reflect them, but considering the creative oligopoly Disney is part of, I doubt many of those creative endeavors will get the attention they deserve.

I'm glad that you agree that we shouldn't rely on companies to create positive societal change.

They sort of feed off each other. It would be silly to deny that.

I do deny it.

Sure, but that doesn't mean Disney's lack of creative diversity should be overlooked or they should be lauded for their decision when it's 100% financial.

No shit it is 100% financial. Look, if you are looking for morality, stop looking towards companies. Just be glad that Disney has enough faith in diversity to take the financial chance on it.

I'm not for looking for morality in Disney and I'm tired them getting compliments for the bare fucking minimum. What I am saying is that people should be putting pressure for them to diversify their hiring practices and it's shitty that diversity for them merely a marketing tacit. I shouldn't be glad it's financially beneficial for them to cast a black lead and screw you for suggesting it. Glad society has changed enough that it is, sure, but glad Disney is making a profitable business decision, no.

^^^^^^^^^^^^, JFC

Exactly, kids don't understand the why's or how's behind these choices, they see a main character that's like them and it makes them happy. And that's a good thing.
