There are many films which sell social concepts hamfistedly. I would point you to that "Ghostbusters" movie awhileback to reference an instance that may have been fed to you with peer approval and spoon.

There is also the fact that we had not had a White Disney princess for like 50 years, until Frozen. Did that never stand out to you as an unlikely confluence of odds?

so yes
so what is the function of trying to sell black people as a concept. what is the goal.

are you saying that white people are being erased by movies

Not really. It's much like US Army propaganda of the end of the Second World War which sought to normalize the marriage of soldiers to women from Southeast Asia. Despite the prevalence of racism in that era, the Army reels were downright fawning. Whatever the end might be now, in that era it was intended to increase social cohesion.

Ideas can be sold by a multitude of factions for an infinite number of reasons. I think Disney avoided White princesses even though they sell way wway better just because of personal fear of heat by individual executives. (At least that's my public position; I happen to know there is Federal guidance driving most of these old-media empires but it's not the crucial point here.)

i've been around here a pretty long time talking. i've never been all about "white genocide" and stuff like that. you're an idiot discussing in bad faith but I hope you learned something about art, marketing and nuance. That IT movie was creepy. Give it another look!

Or better yet, watch propaganda that's awesome like The Battle of Algiers (1966). I promise you it is not right-wing.

brother you misidentified me completely and now your point is that there's no propaganda in art. that's really dumb so you ought to stop. also I am a girl (poasting on my husbando's account).
