Josh Gad Calls Out Critics of Disney’s Live-Action The Little Mermaid. Finally, people are starting to speak up about how ridiculous this all is. Something we have been talking about for months or maybe two years now is, time gets lost when you deal with controversy, and that is the color of a mermaid’s skin.
There is a very vocal minority of people who are downvoting the newest Disney’s The Little Mermaid trailer. These people use dog-whistling excuses like “Disney should come up with original movies for the black actresses’ and leave the classics alone” “Disney needs to stop remaking animated movies into Live-Action movies” “That’s not my Arial” and instead of just remembering that they can put the animated movie on and not go see this version, they would rather unlike, downvote, laugh at others who do enjoy this version.
Here are some real examples of our own comment section “It’s scary just how much franchises they own that they can just race swap and not care about the consequences.” “Disney is still putting the original White Ariel on their high priced merch… almost like they think no one would buy it with the new black mermaid, or something… hmmm” my personal favorite (he says with a smirk) “They should have changed the name to Lil Mermaid” “Will there be an Asian mermaid?” UGH!
“Imagine being so broken and pathetic in life that your chief concern is the skin color of… a make-believe singing mermaid.”

BREAKING: The YouTube trailer of The Little Mermaid is currently being mass “disliked” on Youtube by MAGA racists. The teaser trailer has generated over 3 million dislikes, and the new trailer has over 600,000. The important thing about the controversy surrounding Halle Bailey’s casting is that we remember a beautiful and talented actress who won the role. We can’t allow racism to ever be normalized.
At the end of the day we need to stop giving people a platform to spew hatred and racism, and we need to stop letting the MAGA racists hide behind free speech. Yes, they can say whatever they want to, but you should also be held accountable for anything you do say. If they cannot be held accountable for what they say, then the majority of people who do not think or act this way need to become way more vocal and stand up against this type of hate, but then again, they also think Jan 6th was a tour of the Capitol Building.
Go ahead, and downvote this article. Downvote all you want. I for one am sick of this type of human behavior and think it’s time to stop listing to some sycophant followers. Disney fans need to remember that love and acceptance will always come through in the end, it may have made a huge step back in the past 8 to 12 years, but Disney always has happy endings, and I know our world will also.
