What kind of flame wars are you expecting? Do tell.

[morieris]

My bet is race.

I've seen hints of it, but it's mostly just calm questioning.

[mekkio]

Race wank in what way?

[morieris]

"If they're the first family ever, why are they white?" (Even though I think they're kind of ambiguous - at least those who aren't the main girl, but I don't know.)

Despite the fact that they're probably not the first family ever.

[(Anonymous)]

I saw the movie and no, they are not the first family. It's joked about during the prologue that all of their neighbors keep dying.

People don't wank much unless it's a Disney or Pixar movie. See how the pretty much non-existent outcry over the outright white washing of Toothania paled in comparison to the wank over there being no black people in Brave. And this is a continuous thing for some weird reason.

[(Anonymous)]

...but why would there be black people in Brave?

[morieris]

I was kind of surprised how no one talked about Toothianna much, but I have little qualm with people complaining about that part of Brave. What I love is how the white people who are so used to seeing them and only them in movies like this cry over "historical accuracy!!".

Tell me what part of history did magic actually happen and people turned into bears, because we need to bring that back.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the Toothiana thing is so much worse though tbh. You have a canonically non-white character there, after all. Plus RotG was hella white anyway despite taking place in an indisputably very diverse time period (i.e. now). And hella male.

I'm not saying that people can't complain about that re: Brave, but yeah.

[morieris]

I felt the same way...even though her book came out a month prior to the movie, the author didn't correct them before? She wasn't mentioned in any of the prior books (I've yet to read them)?

[forgottenjester]

I know there's already sexism wank going on.

[(Anonymous)]

What other people said, and also and when the trailer and posters first came out, there was some fuss because it looked like they were trying way too hard to emulate/rip off Brave (with the main character's design and the cliff-climbing scene).

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I don't want to see it because of that "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I LOVE THEM! Where are my feet?" scene. As well as the "we never leave the cave" (what? How do you live?) thing, and the fact that they are absolutely not the 'first family'.

Actually, they're outliers because humans are pack animals. Left to our own devices, our 'natural' group size is roughly 150 individuals, judging by the size of our neocortex relative to the rest of our brains.

Basically, the commercials roamed from just not interesting me to actually offending me, either because of my sex or because of my education.
