A Bugs Life is an abominable appropriation of insect culture. You're not an ant so you lack the authority to write or read anything that represents ant culture.

- newswasboring 6y agoI know you are being sarcastic but if ants could communicate this is exactly what they will say. The movie represents nothing from their culture and makes shit up. The difference is minority people can fight back.
- swayvil 6y agonon-ants would get outraged on behalf of the ants.
- newswasboring 6y agoWho cares. If someone misappropriated my culture for an entire movie I'll be pretty mad, who cares if someone else also took offence. I feel like this kind of argument only serves as distraction (not implying that's your intent). Do you not think ant culture would be absolutely offended by someone doing this?
- swayvil 6y agoI think that getting "pretty mad" over something that that is kinda nuts. It would be on the same level as somebody "stealing" my hair style. You people make mountains out of molehills.
- marshmallow_12 6y agocome to think of it, Hobbits and dwarfs have also been grossly caricatured. As have goblins and those "swarthy men" from South (or whatever). Tolkien's in big trouble. He is alienating us from the whole of Middle Earth, no doubt.

- marshmallow_12 6y agoOh wow. Genius. It's a shame that the tolkien estate is being so stubborn.
