“It’s sad that Disney has the opportunity to educate so many people and yet many of their movies, unintentionally perhaps, serve as a platform to reinforce negative stereotypes about differnet cultural groups,” Jafar lamented, while inwardly wondering whether, perhaps, a certain gold lamp he had heard about could help him solve this problem…
[for more on this, read the feminist review of Aladdin the movie here]
THIS.
ALL. OF. THIS.
THANK YOU for making this post.
you know what i never noticed that!!! oh snap!!
did any arabs do the voices because i know that aladdin was voiced by a white dude
Y’know, I really don’t see reasoning behind pointing stuff like this out. Why can’t people just sit back and enjoy Disney rather than accuse them of doing shit like this?
yeah i mean why bother to accuse racists of racism
that’s almost like accusing sexists of sexism
or criminals of crimes
i mean why would we DO that when we can just ENJOY the erasure and hurt
also the sky is green and water is yellow and clouds are made of cotton candy
Fuckin’ A+ commentary ^
