Why?

(Anonymous) 2022-04-21 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
because they're portraying a particular character and it's an incredibly low effort way to integrate the source material, would be my guess

(Anonymous) 2022-04-21 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
but it's not an aspect of the source material that people necessarily care about

Just seems a really weird point when racebending is common in adaptations now. Hair color is essential but skin color isn't?

(Anonymous) 2022-04-21 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Given we’re talking about Little Women, which takes place during the American Civil War, I am reasonably sure that racebending would change enough of the story to not be the type of adaptation AYRT is talking about. Or do you spend a lot of time complaining about the lack of Italians in West Side Story, too?

(Anonymous) 2022-04-21 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Firstly, I'm not complaining as you can see by the complete lack of complaint in my actual comment.

Secondly, pretty much everything is changed contextually by racebending yet I've seen it defended on here as having zero impact. Most obviously, Anne Boleyn being cast black.

Yet the commenter has a big issue with hair color that makes zero difference?

It's a weird weird line. Beth being a redhead changes nothing.
