The latest manufactured right-wing outrage about the new Snow White film might be the most unhinged so far
As night follows day, the casting of a person of colour in a role usually played by a white person is followed by howls of anguish and racist abuse by a certain demographic. It turns out that the role can have been previously ‘played’ by nothing more than paint and they’ll still lose their rag.
The new live-action Snow White has had them up in arms after the title role went to Rachel Zegler, for the internet crime of *checks notes* having a Colombian grandmother. These posts give a taste of what people have been saying about the film.
Wierdo Oli London is tweeting about Snow White not being played by a white woman. Sit this one out lad, you spent thousands of pounds to look like a Korean and even married and divorced a cardboard cut out of a South Korean teenage star.

I was bitterly and furiously disappointed that "Snow White" did not appeal to me, a 34-year-old man.

This meme is a perfect example of the toys being thrown out of the right-wing pram.
You’ll never guess who popped up to agree. Actually, you probably will.
Someone provided ‘proof’ that the film is ‘woke Hollywood propaganda’, other than the central message of every Snow White film, which is ‘Be kind’. Oh, and ‘Never accept apples from strange women who show up at your door’.
Yes…this is the ending scene in the new Snow White movie…pic.twitter.com/3epbs8vsMm https://t.co/5JlG9NNFQj

Absolutely outrageous. Look at all that happiness and dancing. What is the world coming to? Cartoons Hate Her! asked the question many were thinking.

The answer – or at least one of the answers – is a stretch even Joe Wicks couldn’t manage.
Sorry, what? Lets see what people who aren’t losing their actual minds over a children’s film had to say about it.

Oh man, this’d be an amazing point if her last name wasn’t literally “White” and also you got kicked in the head by a horse. https://t.co/H3DCUlh1tA

You're telling me a movie called snow white ends with everyone wearing white? Next you'll say that there were seven dwarves. https://t.co/Ng0b7LdBfW

How do we know it has anything at all to do with Diddy? Maybe they just thought it would be a cool ending to the movie. Can you read minds?

It really does say something that these guys think “being happy and having fun” is a sign of woke lefty communism https://t.co/zgcutJxNyT

I think this guy is mad because it's not a documentary of medieval European life? Yes, they did not do modern style dance party numbers in 12th century Europe. Guess what, dwarves didn't whistle and work then either. https://t.co/zOoO06zfwu

*racist guy with puffed up eyes after sobbing for hours and going through 5 boxes of tissues* You won’t believe it that the Snow White live action movie has people who aren’t white. https://t.co/jlbYHrJXx2

One last point …
Not liking the new Snow White is fine. Hating it is fine too. Movies are subjective
But if you are a grown up and it MATTERS to you, you a fuckin loser dawg
