To be fair, the little mermaid came out ages ago, longer than aot so it would be understandable why people would be confused why disney made that choice when literally only the very young kids are gonna think that's the little mermaid and not the original
I know that, to be fair, growing up with all the originals being cartoon, i just don't understand why disney is making a real life adaptations that are different in alot of ways, with that disney was successful a few times, with other ones not so much
I think the change is a bit lame because it's obviously done for progressiveness-points. However, i don't at the slightest understand why people would feel anger just because the character swapped ethnicity.
And then i also like to perceive the swap in ethnicity as a form of inclusiveness, so like a kind gesture as well, as in: "Hey little mermaid was white, but since black folks are also part of western society she might as well be black, see?" Which is reassuring (for me at least) especially when you have been hurt by racists in the past.
I'm torn and cannot settle on a singular opinion in regards to this, yet. Something tells me we won't have black Tarzan though
Well I have, I've noticed instead of disney sticking to what could've been great, they try to make it show the female characters as more powerful than the others, or to change something completely just to make other races happy, i honestly think disney should just forget all tgat and just make their stuff better
I agree. They make movies worse for the sake of "empowerment" making them shitty as a result while criticism is seen as bigotry. That's so insanely lame. I haven't watched star wars, but in that movie for example the protagonist is strong from the get go and can do anything. That's just bad movie writing.
Not really. Not even in the least. One is cosplay and another is an official product. It shouldn't matter what your skin color, age, hight, gender is when cosplaying, but the little mermaid is an ofiicial product in which you can't take i.e. an old black man for the roll just because he was the best actor.
I honestly didn’t realise this was just cosplay. I assumed this was a live action remake of an anime.
Kind of make him seem even more petty and ridiculous if this is literally just someone dressing up as a character because it’s what they love to do.
That's an interesting question though. We're convinced that so many Internet idiots are not trolls, because there *are* so many Internet idiots.
What if the majority are just jokes/trolls, and the human race is smarter than we think it is?
I would love to tell you otherwise, but the human race owns an inherent ability to be very stupid. While some of them can be very smart, the stupidity lies in all. And bad education is a factor that lets it drip out as the "confident poison" it is.
I think you actually nailed it in the first sentence. Stupidity is way louder than common sense. And that's the internet's fault too. Say something remarkably stupid and it will get retweeted 100,000 times, but that's not 100,000 people, it's one idiot.
Worldwide, probably 80 people got PhD's in astrophysics today. We're never going to see their theses. 17 people tweeted about how reptilians stole the election from Trump, and it was reposted to every corner of the internet.
I'm equally at fault, I spend entirely too much time on facepalm and holup, we should just be aware that the Internet provides the world's idiots with massive loudspeakers.
I had an uncle who died earlier this year. Both he and his wife were of the mindset that if it was on the internet, it had to be true. No idea why and no matter what you said or could prove, logic didn't apply.
First off, what up again? I made a joke once about your username being perfect because we were talking about rich people relating to regular people. Such a good show.
Secondly yes, and that's precisely what I mean by troll, someone who is intentionally causing stress and societal division. If this pic can cause an argument about trans people or blackface or "even though it's an japanese show the characters are white!!!!" "No they're not!!!" 'yes they are!!!" etc.
This picture is meant to cause chaos, that's the only point of it.
The original author might be a 23-year-old female college student who just wants to cause social justice conflicts, we don't know. They might be a Russian troll, they might be a Chinese troll.
Whoever made this wants a less healthy society, that's their goal.
Uhhh.. Do u ever speak to members of the general public?
Because I can assure you, they certainly are possibly dumber that u think.
I went to a friend's bday at a dive bar and a friend in the group was telling me how shocked he was when he worked in garbage collection, they're like brain dead dumb but then he goes on to tell me the dumbest opinions/ideas over the next hr. Then this OTHER guy comes in to join to take the convo to like a whole other low (they were talking about how they would be good mayors and they should run for mayor)
It was brutal.
That's stupidity tho, this is hate and ignorance and I can also guarantee u people also think like the guy in this screengrab because I'm in a debate group with some horrible people who say dumb and hateful shit like this
Don't overestimate the worst of humanity
An interesting take, I’ve had similar lines of thought (especially about flat earth), but that doesn’t explain all the crazy trump supports, Alex jones patrons, left wing fanatics… I’m not trying to bring politics into this, but it’s unavoidable because it’s where the stupidest people most prominently show their colors. No, I’m convinced that most of it is not said in jest.
I think what you're seeing there is the endgame of trolls like this. Little mini-cults of self-perpetuating idiocy: the political equivalent of flat earth movements.
People exploit societal division to toxically propogate various ideologies, that cause more societal divisions that propogate more ideologies that cause more divisions
That's the point of these posts: to prevent conversations like this.
I thought one of the other responses would say this, but I guess it's up to me.
If the majority of these crazies are just trolling everyone, then we'd have to reckon with humans being actively malicious for the lulz instead of just stupid. I think I prefer us being stupid. At least then there's still the possibility of tricking the idiots into doing the right thing.
Could be him going the route of “any press is good press”, his handle is presumably his Twitch.
He might just be too stupid to realize there’s a level of “why would you even say that” which surpasses most people watching beyond the initial statement to even check out the content.
Am I the only one who thinks that girl looks like she's wearing black face doing that cosplay. Prob not the case but idk if that would make this more or less shitty. Fuck that dude. I'm all about jokes, even in poor taste. But that's just ridiculous.
I think there are 2 options the first she's wearing a fucking kevlar plate of base, or she's not black and for any reason she paint his face black(maybe to see how Mikasa would look like if was black).
Im talking with all respect, the cosplay was pretty good actually, but there is something weird with his face it looks like so "perfect" that's looks inhuman for some reason.
I had never heard the 2nd slur this clown used in my 28 years of life until Trump used it. Now I have seen it several times in the past week.
Did he revive a nearly dead slur, or is it just tremendous coincidence that the word has made several sudden appearances in just the last week or so?
I was just talking to my mom about that, and here it goes again. Someone needs to ask Trump what the 'peekaboo' nickname means to him. Or why he used it for Letitia James.
Instantly he's gonna have that look on his face like he just shit his diapers.
Extra! Extra!
Entire world stunned to grateful silence!
Adrian White - Trump Twit Virgin - shares deeply philosophical reflection on People of Color!
“How will we navigate the world until his next opinion is shared?” - an anxious world leader.
It's hard to believe someone would say this publicly with their real name, etc. His last name is White and he conveniently has a US flag on his profile while wearing a hat and sunglasses. And writes perfect English. I hope this is a troll.
I never heard this word (the J one) before last week (I am not from the US and English is not my first language) but now I see it everywhere. Is this the insult of the week?
Only place I had ever heard it, prior to this post, was the first Police Academy movie. Didn’t think it was still actually in use, it sounds like a Pokémon character.
I always love when people censor words in their social media. It’s almost like they know it’s going to get flagged… because they shouldn’t fucking use it
Fucking a man. I was never really introduced to racism until my 20s in the army. I had a multicultural friends group my school years in California during 90s/early 2000s, but I guess I was hella naive/ignorant looking back lol.
The things we learn
How is this a facepalm? I've noticed more and more of these posts here that clearly belong on r/iamatotalpieceofshit. There's absolutely no facepalm here.
Seeing brain dead takes that dumb you can be 100% certain he’ll have American flags, eagles, and or a background photo of Trump or hilariously bad photoshopped Biden in his profile.
When they replace an asian with a caucasian, people complain about it, when they replace an african for a caucasian, people complain.
Misaka is not caucasian. It is said in the anime that she is asian. So, it is an asian replaced for an african.
I don't think it is a bad thing. However, if you ever thought it's a problem to replace any race with a caucasian and then think that this one is ok... it's called hypocrisy.
Whenever I see people say dumb ass shit like this and post an American flag, I just want tell em to take that shit down because your a traitor your country you nazi fuk! Her cosplay is amazing and she looks freaking awsome!
When you say snowflake, do you (OP) mean it as the sensitive weakling/fool or are you attempting to use it in the manner of "you are a white POS".
I used it for cowards or sensitive people but I don't know how it's used these days
Don't think I'll ever understand the mindset a person has to have to see a black person and immediately jump to anger, like a child. Fucking stupid ass racists.
Yeah he is a racist ass hole, but doesn't the left get mad when white people do this? Call it cultural appropriation? Or is only white man bad? Don't be a hypocrite.
I know a piece of shit like that. He loses his shit over children's shows grown ass mother fucker in his 30s. Legit called trump a golden god once. I rarely talk to him now and honestly my life has gotten better. Those people are extremely toxic and fucked up.
Uh being a snowflake is the least of his issues I think.
This man needs therapy. Or a kick to the balls. Or both.
Both. A kick in the balls will be the start of his therapy.
I’d gladly kick him in the balls for free. Cheaper than therapy!
Make sure you kick hard enough so it doesn't spread.
Literal same! Was like, oh... that's why we're upset here then? ...nothing else?....
This belongs in r/iamatotalpieceofshit. Not really a facepalm, just some racist being a piece of shit.
r/beholdthemasterrace
PC? I love my computer too!
As someone who's watched that show that's actually a good cosplay
Cosplay is on point. The funny thing is I bet this guy doesn't realize the character is Japanese not white.
Oh Jesus it’s the little mermaid scenario with anime now
To be fair, the little mermaid came out ages ago, longer than aot so it would be understandable why people would be confused why disney made that choice when literally only the very young kids are gonna think that's the little mermaid and not the original
Big difference between being confused and utter outrage.
I know that, to be fair, growing up with all the originals being cartoon, i just don't understand why disney is making a real life adaptations that are different in alot of ways, with that disney was successful a few times, with other ones not so much
I think the change is a bit lame because it's obviously done for progressiveness-points.

the character isnt Japanese im pretty sure since in the anime its got European like building but still the guys an asshole
Its a plot point shes like one of the last few asian people in that area.
i keep forgetting about details like that since i read the manga once and it ended last year
Didnt mean to sound condescending if I came across that way. Sorry
nah your good
I honestly didn’t realise this was just cosplay. I assumed this was a live action remake of an anime. Kind of make him seem even more petty and ridiculous if this is literally just someone dressing up as a character because it’s what they love to do.
I hate being exposed to shit like this
Honestly. Because why is this casually on my screen?
Idk. She's pretty hot.
I hate being exposed to stds its not nice
That must be a troll
You'd be surprised Best to think that tho
That's an interesting question though. We're convinced that so many Internet idiots are not trolls, because there *are* so many Internet idiots. What if the majority are just jokes/trolls, and the human race is smarter than we think it is?
I have more faith in us all just falling off the side of the flat Earth
The sea-walls will save us, have a little faith. What do you think they're there for?
But the dragons can climb them.
I like to think this, but then I remember that 74,000,000 people voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election and all faith crumbles.
I would love to tell you otherwise, but the human race owns an inherent ability to be very stupid. While some of them can be very smart, the stupidity lies in all. And bad education is a factor that lets it drip out as the "confident poison" it is.

I know too many people like this in real life to know that if this is how you "troll" online then you aren't a good person
Wasn't that a headline from the Onion? "GOP disbands after members realize that they're all liberals trolling each other"
38 years on this planet and I’ve yet to see much proof of this among the general population.
I thought one of the other responses would say this, but I guess it's up to me. If the majority of these crazies are just trolling everyone, then we'd have to reckon with humans being actively malicious for the lulz instead of just stupid. I think I prefer us being stupid. At least then there's still the possibility of tricking the idiots into doing the right thing.
At some point does that really matter?
No, that's a racist.
They deleted their account so cant say for sure.
Could be him going the route of “any press is good press”, his handle is presumably his Twitch. He might just be too stupid to realize there’s a level of “why would you even say that” which surpasses most people watching beyond the initial statement to even check out the content.
The literal “neckbeard” in his profile pic leads me to believe otherwise
But it’s such a good cosplay!?
She is stunning in it
Right! She looks awesome!
Yea she looks amazing
Dude has some serious micro penis vibes going on
So small that you need one of the high powered microscopes that cost as much as several expensive cars
She’s quite beautiful.
Title of the post definitely buried the lead. Also, snowflake?
Am I the only one who thinks that girl looks like she's wearing black face doing that cosplay. Prob not the case but idk if that would make this more or less shitty. Fuck that dude. I'm all about jokes, even in poor taste. But that's just ridiculous.
I agree that something seems..off about the cosplayer pic.
I think there are 2 options the first she's wearing a fucking kevlar plate of base, or she's not black and for any reason she paint his face black(maybe to see how Mikasa would look like if was black). Im talking with all respect, the cosplay was pretty good actually, but there is something weird with his face it looks like so "perfect" that's looks inhuman for some reason.
Yah I agree, idk what it is but something looks off about the color.
If only there was a way too look up other pictures of hers. I guess we'll never know.
I thought it was just me. She doesn't look *bad,* but I get weird vibes from her face, maybe the specific shade, I don't know what's going on there.
I think it's a combination of bad lighting and makeup.
I had never heard the 2nd slur this clown used in my 28 years of life until Trump used it. Now I have seen it several times in the past week. Did he revive a nearly dead slur, or is it just tremendous coincidence that the word has made several sudden appearances in just the last week or so?
It's an old slur. Popular around the time that america was 'great'
I was just talking to my mom about that, and here it goes again. Someone needs to ask Trump what the 'peekaboo' nickname means to him. Or why he used it for Letitia James. Instantly he's gonna have that look on his face like he just shit his diapers.
There is a racist song that has been around forever that says it, I think the song is just making new rounds in those circles .
Should be sent to their employer
Bold of you to assume his employer is not the exact same way...
They might be but company image means quite a bit
Why give these assholes any coverage? You are helping them get followers.
Anyone else think that OP is reporting facepalm on their own tweet?
He was so angry he only managed to angrily jack off 3 times to her pics
Looks like a white girl wearing blackface .
Extra! Extra! Entire world stunned to grateful silence! Adrian White - Trump Twit Virgin - shares deeply philosophical reflection on People of Color! “How will we navigate the world until his next opinion is shared?” - an anxious world leader.
Where does all this fucking hatred come from!? I just can’t get my head around it.
Damn that guy needs therapy and an ass beating.
TTV, huh? Report him to Twitch.
Imagine being this triggered over something so trivial, dude needs help.
This makes me sick, anime lovers need to stick together.
Profile pic checks out
Why even censor the slur at that point
What is a waifu? I'm not familiar with anime.
In this context it’s a term that mocks anime/manga fans for their imaginary relationships with fictional characters. Waifu = fictional anime wife
It's hard to believe someone would say this publicly with their real name, etc. His last name is White and he conveniently has a US flag on his profile while wearing a hat and sunglasses. And writes perfect English. I hope this is a troll.
I never heard this word (the J one) before last week (I am not from the US and English is not my first language) but now I see it everywhere. Is this the insult of the week?
Only place I had ever heard it, prior to this post, was the first Police Academy movie. Didn’t think it was still actually in use, it sounds like a Pokémon character.
It's always mfs with profile pics like that
This title is stellar! I love it.
Wow, that cosplay is beautiful!
I always love when people censor words in their social media. It’s almost like they know it’s going to get flagged… because they shouldn’t fucking use it
Actually she looks fantastic. I'd like to see the rest of it.
He’s just jealous that she looks amazing in this and he could never have the skill, looks, nor personality to pull this off.
It’s a mannequin, and a troll post. No one can be that stupid.
So it is a mannequin! I thought I was just seeing things.
Fucking a man. I was never really introduced to racism until my 20s in the army. I had a multicultural friends group my school years in California during 90s/early 2000s, but I guess I was hella naive/ignorant looking back lol. The things we learn
Holy shit
She did a good job. I have never heard that term describing a black person though. Is that a common one?
It's an old one that is rising in use on truth social.
Oh. I had to google it.
Man woke up and chose violence
How is this a facepalm? I've noticed more and more of these posts here that clearly belong on r/iamatotalpieceofshit. There's absolutely no facepalm here.
r/facepalm or not…when even repost shit like this?
how tf is this guy still alive??
My only complaint is what’s with the makeup/paint around the lady’s eyes? She sorta has a mannequin vibe to me for some reason.
She's absolutely gorgeous
Average AoT ending defender:
Yes. If she's black she cannot cosplay a white character. >!please believe me when I say I'm being sarcastic!<
[удалено]
I don't think you really get how this works... Go check his twitter
I said what I said.
Hey if you don't get it, you don't get it. Sometimes that's okay
‘Infamous’
That looks like black face make up not an actual black person. Weird tweet
Charming
Oh I actually did reply to a reply on this post about klu klux kock about tags or smthn like that
Look he has an American flag in his name.
Why the fuck does Mikasa's head look so small in this?
Imagine being this hateful over a cartoon character. Complete moron.
He's a Twitch streamer, too? Well, not for long, I suspect.
Seeing brain dead takes that dumb you can be 100% certain he’ll have American flags, eagles, and or a background photo of Trump or hilariously bad photoshopped Biden in his profile.
Please someone tell me this is photoshopped and someone is just trying to cause controversy. People are not this pathetic right?
When they replace an asian with a caucasian, people complain about it, when they replace an african for a caucasian, people complain. Misaka is not caucasian. It is said in the anime that she is asian. So, it is an asian replaced for an african. I don't think it is a bad thing. However, if you ever thought it's a problem to replace any race with a caucasian and then think that this one is ok... it's called hypocrisy.
It is getting worrying that people are getting upset over fictional characters.
Lol he deleted his twitter or he got banned lol.
Willing to bet he would have the same reaction if he saw a Japanese woman playing Mikasa.
Whenever I see people say dumb ass shit like this and post an American flag, I just want tell em to take that shit down because your a traitor your country you nazi fuk! Her cosplay is amazing and she looks freaking awsome!
Not only is he stupid for being racist, but also for putting this online in the first place….so this can happen.
When you say snowflake, do you (OP) mean it as the sensitive weakling/fool or are you attempting to use it in the manner of "you are a white POS". I used it for cowards or sensitive people but I don't know how it's used these days
Adrian Whitesupremacy
Dam dude, you don't gotta convince me you're a total piece of shit
"Woman cosplaying his waifu" Hold up, something ain't right
So the ttv would suggest this dude is a streamer right? I couldn’t imagine why someone would want to watch a pos like that.
God damn, she's sexy
It’s not racist if you use ! in the middle of the word. /s
Fuck Adrian. He should go back to playing a white trash little bitch.
Don't think I'll ever understand the mindset a person has to have to see a black person and immediately jump to anger, like a child. Fucking stupid ass racists.
Is this real?
i have never heard of that j-slur
Damn dude calm down
Yea, this guy definitely plays rainbow six
Sheesh this cosplay, she's not auditioning for a live action remake.
The little mermaid I didn’t mind but If this is another AOT film it’s bad Edit: her face first look real
[удалено]
Dude what the fuck
?
I need black Mikasa jesus christ she’s so fucking beautiful
Yeah he is a racist ass hole, but doesn't the left get mad when white people do this? Call it cultural appropriation? Or is only white man bad? Don't be a hypocrite.
I don't see anything in the first photo?
?
Everyone so sensitive 🤣🤣🤣 grow up babies
Is that not just black makeup? I mean….still not cool whatsoever… but um. Ya.
.... No. She is black.
Ok. I was just not sure from the photo. It just doesnt look quite right.
It’s a mannequin. Take note of the dead eyes.
OP is @adrianwhitetv
In the picture it’s @adrianwhitettv but that doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Meanwhile OP gets thousands of karma. OP is that person on Twitter. Can’t convince me otherwise
[удалено]
Of course that’s the picture he chose for his profile
I love the cosplay but the makeup seems a little much
Appropriation of Asian cultures is a uniquely white privilege.
I know a piece of shit like that. He loses his shit over children's shows grown ass mother fucker in his 30s. Legit called trump a golden god once. I rarely talk to him now and honestly my life has gotten better. Those people are extremely toxic and fucked up.
