I think the worst thing about stunts like the Black Ariel announcement is how transparently cynical of a publicity stunt it is. Their live action remakes, being the soulless cash grabs that they are, haven’t been well received by anyone, Disney is aware that they aren’t being well received, so what do they do? Cast a black chick to get some free publicity and win some bonus #WOKE points to deflect criticism with when the remake inevitably sucks because people will take the bait hook, line and sinker.
