Yeah, I basically hate any idea that has to do with praising Disney's dishonest movie about Pocahontas that served no purpose, but to white-wash history to where it is no longer recognizable!
Sorry, this subject really ruffles my feathers. I'm your best friend until we linger on the History changing...
I usually say 'YAY' simply because I don't want to offend people that like her, but I want to express my opinion without feeling the need to be sensitive to others opinions... I'm sorry for my outburst. I simply could not hold it in any longer. Sorry, guys...
Nice "YAY!" icon by the way. :D
8804 - You're missing the point of Olivia's comment: Pocahontas was a real person, Tiana isn't. Disney movies are almost NEVER historically accurate. Snow White isn't, Beauty and the Beast isn't, Frozen isn't. Honestly, you're just picking on PATF's lack of historical accuracy because you dislike/hate Tiana (not that's anything wrong with disliking her).
Here they took a real person and, truth to be told, they are sort of ruining her, because everyone now first thinks of the all-wise, womanly, adventurous cliff-jumping Disney princess when they hear "Pocahontas".
In fact, if they went by your ideas it would be even MORE racist and insensitive: the idea that this was all these people could do, that they all did the same thing no matter what, completely taking away any individuality and lumping them together as a group. And Maddie would have been a horrible name in my opinion, considering how close it is to Mammy, an Uncle Tom like moniker.
1) She didn't have the same cultural impact as Pocahontas.
2) The notion that the entire Southern segregation that lasted until the 60's will be forgotten is ridiculous. One thing is a minor Historical figure, another, completely different, is an important, shameful period of the History of the world's currently most powerful country.
Though, I have to say I think PATF would have been better if Disney had not tried to cater to everyone's prejudgemental demands and told the story of Maddy (the actual spelling of the original name, not "Maddie"), the chambermaid as they had initially planed.
