too many animated stereotypes

[Yami]

I found this article that focuses on stereotypes. I am not a racist or anything but I think whoever wrote this is too sensitive. I mean I don't any of these films were meant to be hurtful to certain races or culture. After all they are just works of fiction. They don't realise it gets harder and harder to be policalliy correct these days.

Somebody had too much time on their hands.

I don't particularly agree but do not care enough to do anything more then agree to disagree in most of those cases. This isn't most cases because the writer advocates the mauling of complete settings to spare the feelfeel's of people.

Frozen was applauded for its nuanced, active female characters (let's gloss over the Barbie-like approach to body image for now) in contrast to passive princesses past. On a diversity level, though, the film's vision of wintry unmitigated whiteness extended not only to the landscape but the movie's characters, too. "Aha!" its defenders could say. "This is a story set in 17th-century northern Europe, why should there be any people of colour?" To which the reply could be: "This is a work of fantasy concocted in ethnically diverse, 21st-century America, in which you have chosen not to cast or represent a single non-caucasian person."

The Witcher got the same complaint, as did dragon age and I'm sure many other works set in medieval world. I do not understand why anyone would say ''"This is a work of fantasy concocted in ethnically diverse, 21st-century America'' when the world showed is NOT meant to be America. Dragons, magic and stuff belong in fantasy but fantasy world are still subject to the willing suspension of disbelief and yes, a 21th century medieval world would break that for everyone having read even a single story about knights which ALL kids have done.

Identity Ideologues are the worst. They project their own obsessions and insecurities on everyone else especially in media. Not everyone is so massively obsessed with race, gender, sex and lumping all of that into as many boxes as it takes.

Yeah and you know guys there have been a few movies ideas and remakes that have either turn down or canceled because of some being issued to being too racist or stereotype. Remakes for example that been turn down are Blazing Saddles and The Jungle Book.
