it remains to be seen whether any efficiency was gained through this process at all.

2018-09-26 04:39:55 UTC  

we'll see.

Watching Tim's video on the disney Princess: I disagree that social justice is a good thing (how tim describes it in particular), because I disagree that racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. are bad things.

2018-09-26 04:40:10 UTC  

at the very least they have been getting the cost per unit down

2018-09-26 04:40:58 UTC  

tbh, the Disney thing isn't even all the SJWish. its almost closer to comicsgaters and gamergaters complaining about changing characters.

2018-09-26 04:41:23 UTC  

lets put it this way, the look was so different i didn;t even know that was supposed to be tiana

2018-09-26 04:42:53 UTC  

idunno, they look kinda similar

2018-09-26 04:42:56 UTC  

eyes, face etc.

2018-09-26 04:43:05 UTC  

it's a different art direction altogether so it's hard to compare

2018-09-26 04:43:06 UTC  

she looks Latino almost in the digital version.

2018-09-26 04:43:19 UTC  

hair way different, skin lighter

2018-09-26 04:43:29 UTC  

looks younger but idk if that is just part of the movie

2018-09-26 04:43:36 UTC  

I guess her skin is a bit lighter

2018-09-26 04:43:41 UTC  

is she supposed to be black?

2018-09-26 04:43:47 UTC  

yes

2018-09-26 04:43:47 UTC  

I am not familiar with disney films

2018-09-26 04:44:22 UTC  

I mean, there are reasons to lighten skin for film

2018-09-26 04:44:51 UTC  

ultimately, with less light being transmitted, you lose detail

2018-09-26 04:45:01 UTC  

Ya, I wasn't too interested in most of the video, as I don't follow disney either. But tim likes to put some of his opinions in strange places.

2018-09-26 04:45:29 UTC  

not really sure that that's a big difference

2018-09-26 04:45:45 UTC  

I haven't watched this tim video you're talking about though

2018-09-26 04:45:47 UTC  

the hair is the biggest difference

2018-09-26 04:46:05 UTC  

and I obviously have not heard the controversy that sparked it

2018-09-26 04:46:35 UTC  

His opinion on social justice is really the main takeaway I got, well that and people complain about everything, but that's obvious at this point.

2018-09-26 04:46:38 UTC  

yeah, she went from a weave to a... somewhat more believable maybe-non-weave

2018-09-26 04:46:58 UTC  

also looks better in my opinion

2018-09-26 04:47:17 UTC  

well and the color

2018-09-26 04:47:24 UTC  

yeah, it's dyed

2018-09-26 04:47:26 UTC  

it seems

2018-09-26 04:47:38 UTC  

is it viable for it to be dyed, in the context of the story?

2018-09-26 04:47:53 UTC  

i mean, idk, the one on the right is from a movie not yet out

2018-09-26 04:47:57 UTC  

thats just from the promo

2018-09-26 04:48:04 UTC  

they said they are changing it

2018-09-26 04:48:12 UTC  

I mean, also they don't really have to make her look like some prototypical example of a recognizable "race"

2018-09-26 04:48:20 UTC  

oh, they're changing it?

2018-09-26 04:48:28 UTC  

disney is yeah

2018-09-26 04:48:30 UTC  

I hope not due to people being fucking idiots

2018-09-26 04:48:38 UTC  

but I guess that's probably why

2018-09-26 04:49:00 UTC  

what do the complainers want?
