Then consider shutting the fuck up about it.  Don’t go inserting yourself in conversations about lynching and racist imagery if you aren’t going to educate yourself on the subject first.

Lol you’re the one jumping to conclusions about high crime and culture policing. I just think he knew what he was saying.

Oh give me a fucking break, 2005 wasn’t the dark ages. That’s no excuse.

the world is a better place because previously muted voices are finally being amplified?

Using the word “lynch” here in a convo that is literally about a white man evoking lynching imagery is so ridiculous I have to assume it was intentional.

This is dumb as hell. I don’t know what “people” you’re referring to in your post, but the Black people who were involved in this situation in 2005 damn sure knew this shit was racist (not “racial insensitivity”—it was “flat-out racism”). This behavior wasn’t less racist 20 years ago than it is now.

“Like if you saw a viral video of some person shouting the n-word at someone on the street, you might wonder what set them off.”

She’s the Street Fighter II of popstars.

I notice you forgot Maximum Overdrive :)

Man, that Ice Spice feature on “Karma” just proves Antonoff has no range as a producer. Why on earth would you let the beat drop off during the RAP portion of the song?

And somehow less creepy than the dead-eyed animals in the Lion King remake.

The same thing happened with Beauty and the Beast and the way people latched onto the stockholm syndrome thing. Belle was openly mocked by her whole town. Of course she didn’t go back. 

It makes me think of the whole “isn’t it fucked up that Ariel gives up her voice for a man??” backlash the original has had for like a decade now. I saw that perspective for sure…until I rewatched the original and realized: that’s the point in the original text. The whole reason Eric doesn’t immediately fall for…

I mean, there’s no one who would care who doesn’t already know.

Tick Tick Boom is Jonathan Larson (Rent), not LMM.

I think it’s more of a rebound action from “He’s SUCH A GOOD EVERYTHING OMG!” to “Eh, yeah, he’s fine.”

I don’t really care for the changes to Kiss the Girls as it seems like typical misunderstanding of both consent and feminism from a corporation who is only interested in these things from a money perspective. If anything the problem with the original movie is that Prince Eric is the one who kinda can’t consent.…

Adding new songs to a Howard Ashman soundtrack...you’re gonna have a bad time.
