Have you personally met a child who was watching The Little Mermaid for the first time (without prior knowledge on the franchise) and was upset about MA not being white?

Have you ever considered that children aren’t stupid?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen people get this angry with any change on kids content,

when blues clues changed of guy/actor/wtv no one cared, when a kids show gets an artstyle change no one does ether, children understand that sometimes there’s change on what they see,

it’s a Disney live action of a fictional story with mermaids and magic, no one should care if it’s a carbon copy of the original story (it isn’t even Disney’s story cause none of Disney’s stories are original) it’s a fucking movie, Sebastian (the crab) could be a dog for all I care,

would people be making this big of a fuss if they made the crab an octopus ? No, you wouldn’t and don’t tell me you would cause that’s a lie, you wouldn’t

you don’t care abt change or nostalgia you are just racist and trying to hide it behind “but my daughter this and that” it’s a movie let it go
