Even if it wasn’t different media.
“Look guys! Here’s Aladdin in a dark alley in the evening and then later he’s in the open air in broad daylight and the fucking cartoonists colored his skin lighter!”
Oh, but you’re forgetting that any attempt to apply basic reasoning or logic when someone is trying to paint something as racist makes you a racist…
This guy social medias
I know right
could make his blue shirt gold as well
The original Aladdin story in One Thousand and One Nights is set in China (Aladdin is also Chinese), is based on a middle eastern folk tale, and was written and added to the book by a Frenchman. And then it’s most recognizable incarnation (at least to a western audience) migrates the setting and characters to a fictional Arabic kingdom and gives him an American white guy voice. The character, Aladdin’s, cultural identity as we know it is a little all over the place.
And part of the reason the setting is almost never China in adaptations is that the original 1001 Nights version of the story is very much set in China in name only, with the setting being modeled after the Middle East anyway. I mean, there are two jinns, a sultan, and the sorcerer is from Morocco. And when characters are actually named, they have decidedly non-Chinese names like Mustapha.
Throw in the fan theory that Disney’s version takes place thousands of years in the future.
Yeah… what? Please explain, you have my full attention
An American white guy voice from the 90s
Aladdin is the most stereotypical, tv trope, radalicious, woahhhh, duuude voice
It’s like one or two steps away from being a Ninja turtle.

Ahh, back when clickbait had to
scourgescour for fake things instead of just boiling 1000 gallons of water.I feel like this kind of bullshit is a distraction from actual criticisms of the way the movie Aladdin depicts the Middle East.
A Palestinian friend once went on this mini rant about how Aladdin wasn’t even Middle-Eastern. Al Addin (according to the friend) means “The Easterner.” So Aladdin should have been Indian or Korean or something.
TIL from comments here that Aladdin was originally set in China, so this is very plausible.
From my understanding Alladin is racist just in a really lazy way
"Where they cut off your ear
If they don’t like your face
It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home."
For some reason they kept the “barbaric” part.
I mean, the origination of the story is a mess to begin with so of course it’s going to misrepresent things, this comment kinda goes into the details a bit - https://lemmy.world/comment/23310329
Ok, I never thought I will type “Aladdin yaoi” in my search engine, but here we are. There are far more Aladdin x Hercules hentai than I expected, so I couldn’t find where this exact screenshot is coming from.
Found the original panel, can’t find the whole comic.
NSFW obviously.
I found a version which has Goofy at the bottom and Donald is mentioned, so it’s not only about these two guys but more Disney characters:
nsfw
The oldest upload I could find is from 2008 May: https://rule34.paheal.net/post/view/146150 This comic is old enough to buy beer in europe.
Ahh it’s kingdom hearts yaoi even better
I never played with that game, so I didn’t notice it, but you are right! Gummi ship and Sora are there. It’s fun that I learn about this game by researching a gay fanfic comic.
Goofy at the bottom
From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.
I hope you two sanitize your search histories AND your keyboards/screens/desks before your respective wives/girlfriends find this. And wash your hands!
Lol, do I sound like someone who speaks with irl people?
You mean like… speaking to someone in the same room? While they’re looking at you? With their eyes?!
I love that their speech bubbes have different fonts! And none of them is PAPYRUS. High quality comic, with additional care about historicity! Now I’m interested in the full comic, I’m on it.
Wow, even with the image from the OP, I still didn’t expect Hercules to be darker than Aladdin.
Reverse image search?
TinEye searched over 83.3 billion images but didn’t find any matches for your search image.
Afaik Tineye hasn’t been updated in years. Both Google and Yandex find a bunch of images, including an image with a different background and darker-skinned Aladdin with his jacket still on, but striking the same pose.
Source?
That’s not a hair on my screen
Ah yes, the two races: poor and white.
Oh so I’m mixed race.
You’re a furry, doomed to be either suspiciously wealthy or flat broke
No inbetween
Wish my suspiciously wealthy phase would hurry up and get here.
God same lmao
i think the us president said that a few years ago
Okay. The Aladdin thing. THAT’S NOT FUCKING
And yet it’s literally a blowjob. Checkmate (/s)
“I did not have sexual relations with that demigod.”
Some of the comments here feel like the lefts version of complaining when a kids movie gets the wrong culture put into a lead role and the right complains… Like when the right complained about the Little Mermaid.
So by your logic, Ariel being played by a black actress is the same thing John Wayne playing an Asian person while squinting?
What? I think you may be confused as to what I wrote.
When you said ‘the left’ they assumed you were a right winger, stopped reading and started with the bad faith nasty arguments.
Triggered, I think is the term.
I am a socialist lol. People online are so defensive sometimes.
Some people just want to fight because social media conditions us to be outraged and angry.
lol how did the comment or know the porn movie and shot from it so quickly?
Quickly?
The post lists the date and time. Comment is relative time. That means greater than 24 hours
This reminded me of the crush I had as a kid on Jasmine and that rule34 is a thing… Fuck yeah!
I recognize that bulge.
There were few more, non-subtle stuff too tbf.
