If Disney published Pocahontas nowadays, how would it be received?
>>
About the same as it was originally, with a few bonus points for being in 2D art..
>>
>>80426945
>HOLY SHIT IT'S IN 2D?!
>>
It wouldn't be received because nobody watches 2D movies.

It will lose in the Oscars to Big Hero Seven.
>>
It would be loved by SJW who only speaks about "the evil white man"
>>
I don't think it would be any different, besides the fact Mel Gibson is the male lead.
>>
We're the Indians in this movie voiced by actual Indians? Cause if they weren't that would cause people to bitch
>>
It wouldn't be made at all
>>
>>80427063

SJWs hate Pocahontas though.

>aryan "white savior" character voiced by mel gibson
>natives portrayed as just as wrong as the white man
>interracial power fantasy
>>
>>80426945
>tfw the real life governor Radcliffe was decent guy who was tricked by the Natives into going to his own horrible death
>>
>>80427189
>tfw the real life governor Radcliffe was decent guy
We don't actually know that for sure. He was kicked out of office because he was suspected of hoarding the settlers' already dwindling supplies. Plus he made them build a big pointless building even though they were sick that they nicknamed "Ratcliffe's palace".
>>
what's wrong with mel gibson?

Somehow SJW still will complain about white washing, something like if the natives will voiced by a white man, or if the raccoon isnĀ“t voiced by a real raccoon.

>>80426945
HOLY SHIT A 2D ANIMATED DISNEY FILM?
>>
Well meaning but still very awkward because as we all know the real life history of native Americans didn't have a very happy ending.

It's major gimmick and attraction would be that's in 2D after several years of the style being abandoned by just about everybody in film.

Pretty much the same. Remember, this movie was made at the height of the original PC movement. There was already a backlash against that kind of thing by the time it came out, but it reflects all the PC doctrine of the time: white settlers bad, natives good and in tune with nature, etc.

Today they'd be called out more on appropriation because the internet is bigger, but they probably would actually try to make it less politically correct, not more, because '90s environmentalism and politically correct history are not all that popular now.

'cultural appropriation' is such fucking bullshit
I've never known anyone from any culture to refuse to teach others about their own way of life. The most they ever ask is that it be represented respectfully.
Even in Hinduism where the concept of Dharma/the role you are born into is very strong, they don't have issue with people outside their culture spreading their message long as they respect it.

Then you get the 30-something white-bread SJW retards who act as if sharing in part of someone else's culture is somehow damaging it.

Of all the things people want to bitch about, people not being totally insular and xenophobic should not be in there.
>>
>>80428104
Much like the chum in the bottom of that boat, this post is bait.

Here's your reply.

>>80428542
As an Italian, I cringe hard whenever I see an American eating a pineapple pizza or a "pepperoni" pizza. Also when I see them eating macaroni and cheese.
>>
>>80428898
Well too fuckin' bad!
>>
>>80428898
blame Italian American immigrants and commercialism
>>
>>80428898
As an american I cringe when I read your post about what people are allowed to eat.
>>
>>80428998

Commercialism is the only culprit.
>>
>>80429046

I never said you aren't allowed to eat the mentally challenged son of the original neapolitan pizza.
>>
>>80428898
Like I can get why wearing native american headdresses is shit but I can't think of a single reason how food could be included in cultural appropriation. Unless it's made from the grinded bones of your ancestors then who the fuck cares? Food is probably the most universal, fluid thing ever.

Pineapple pizza lovers should be shot, though. It doesn't belong on pizza. Also stop being so loud and annoying everywhere you go. I thought it was just american-italians but I unfortunately met quite a few real italians who proved me otherwise.
>>
>>80429144
>Pineapple pizza lovers should be shot
Mmmmmm. Delicious edge.
>>
>>80429053
I agree

Cultural misappropriation is a thing to get up in arms about but all I ever see is tumblrites complaining about people leaving their bubbles and acknowledging other cultures exist

It's so fucking backwards. Like the people who use 'person of color' unironically.
>>
>>80429144
Pizza and pasta is a religion here in Italy m8.

also
>unironically using the world "fluid"

And I'll stop being "so loud and annoying" as soon as you guys start clapping everywhere you land a plane.

>>80429046
They never said. Unfortunately, there are people that believe (if you're white) you shouldn't try ethnic food, but at the same time if you don't want to eat food explicitly, because it's ethnic, it's racist. It's a fucking paradox, just ignore it and enjoy your food.

I wouldn't post here if I were a mobster

also mobster are way more traditional than me, if I complain about it on 4chan, they may outright kill the offender

bigger internet echo i guess

Just imagine how the Chinese feel when they see you soak your noodles in tomato and sprinkle it with fermentized milk.
Shit it's rich coming from a country who'd lose half of their culinary culture without one fruit from the Americas.
>>
>>80431469
Theobroma cacao is native to the Americas, too. But we've had ocean travel technology for centuries. Cultures change faster than that.
>>
>>80431564
even if chinese people did care, what's your point? Chinks got noodles, italians got spaghetti. they're two different things

>italy'd lose half of its culinary culture without tomato
aren't you cute

Are you really unaware how you guys got pasta from Marco Polo's travels in China?
And it would, what's left a couple of cheeses? The rest of Europe can cook seafood and pork fine without you.
