There are certainly legitimate critique to be made about Disney and its insistence on making bad live action versions of popular animated titles, but that criticism, as legitmiate as the person thinks it is, is only going to get lost among the racist vitriol of the tolls and bigots.

Those people who have legimitate criticism about what Disney is doing should probably keep that opinion to themselves for the time being. Nobody who is going through the current white backlash against PoC in entertainment has the time or energy to pick out the nuanced and legitimate critiques of Disney the corporation, from all the racism they're dealing with from the bad faith actors who are trying to hide their bigotry behind legitmate critiques. Any critiques no matter how truthful are just going to get lumped in with the rest of the foolery.

People who have actual critiques that mean something can wait until the fury dies down and then attempt to mke it clear they're not one of the ones engaging in all this public foolery by actually articulating their concerns rather than simply screaming "Disney sucks!!!" into the current turmoil.
