No, it's about not being lied to when looking up a work of fiction.
Revisionism of historic facts and artwork is one of the oldest forms of political manipulation and has never served a good purpose, no matter how well meant. If you want to alter a story, make it clear that you altered it, don't replace the original with your version and then lie to people.
- foldr 2y agoThe article is talking about the Disney adaptation of The Little Mermaid. I don’t think anyone went to see that assuming that it was a 100% faithful adaptation of the original text (insofar as such a thing exists in this case) so I don’t see that anyone is being lied to.
