daynapapaya-deactivated20181023: I’m just going to post this bullshit and let my followers who are interested tear it to shreds, because I am fucking exhausted from repeating myself over and over and over. So anon, you’re just saying we should give kids extremely shitty movies? And you do realize that just because the movie was made for kids doesn’t mean that only kids are going watch it right?

I’m sorry, are we trying to use this movie’s writing problems because “it’s for children”? Because there is so much wrong with that.

Just because a movie’s target audience is young children doesn’t mean you can get away with poor writing. In fact, the idea of this is actually quite insulting. Why would you want to give your child something that isn’t of the best possible quality? Children are people. Young people, but still people. They deserve better than that.

As long as the story is told in a way that children can find entertaining and doesn’t rely too heavily on themes they might not be old enough to understand, having “historically accurate” content wouldn’t do the movie any harm. Making it “politically correct” wouldn’t do it any harm either. I can’t imagine a child would be affected in any negative way by seeing a more diverse cast in the movies they watch.
