If you’ve seen both Alladin and the cartoons in question, it’s hard to believe you’re commenting in good faith.
- amznthrwaway 6y agoJerf never comments in good faith. He’s an example that extremist authoritarian and highly bigoted views, such as those he holds and often defends are welcome here on HN, so long as you are polite while making extremely dishonest arguments. It fucking sucks, but HN is a place that welcomes racist shit-posting so long as it adheres to a particular style guideline; and bans people who do not adhere to the style guideline. I’m banned anyway, so I’ll just add that Daniel Gackle’s mother should be fucking ashamed that she raised a pathetic son who devotes his entire life to the creation of “safe spaces” for racist shitbags like jerf.
- koolba 6y agoThe original intro song to Aladdin had the line, “where they’ll cut off your ear if they don’t like your face”. Here’s a a flashback to 1993: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-07-10-ca-11747-story.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-07-10-ca-11747-... The real racism in that movie was portraying the king and his daughter as too stupid to realize that they could each get wishes from the lamp prior to Aladdin freeing the genie.
