This is true of the remake, where it’s made clear they’re nonhuman, but the dwarfs in the original might certainly be interpreted as little (human) people—that’s how I’ve always seen them. They’re called “little men” in the film and are not portrayed as having any magical qualities. Their exaggerated features don’t really tell us anything, as comic characters are often portrayed in caricatural terms in Disney films.
I was told I had faux outrage. No, I'm indifferent to this situation. I wasn't going to see this in the theater before she made her comments. So what she said made no difference for me. It's no secret that I'm not a fan of the remakes. If anyone is paying attention, I've been arguing against people downplaying what she said and the impact it could have. I'm absolutely not indifferent to Will Smith. That was an example of how that situation can happen.
Your post appeared to be framing both reactions—to Smith (by you) and to Zegler (by others)—as indifference:

Lets break it down.
That analysis seems off to me. They use Dallas, San Antonio, and Phoenix as Hispanic cities that support the overall point of over indexing in red locations. Although Phoenix is in a red county, that county accounts for more than half the state’s population and the city itself is more blue. Neither the cities of Dallas and San Antonio nor the counties in which they reside are red.Not sure if this was already shared and I missed it but it was from a couple days ago, blue counties typically represent 67% of total movie ticket sales but only 60% of Snow Whites ticket sales, which ironically means it’s overperforming in red counties and underperforming in blue counties.

Here’s what you said:
You are very clearly implying that Zegler insulted half the American audience with her comments since the vote was 50/ 50. In fact, as Irish points out, half of the people who voted is not half of the potential audience for the film, which is the entire population of the country. Assuming every single voter for a particular candidate took umbrage at Zegler’s comments, that’s 25% or so of the US population.
I get what you're saying but the post I was was referencing was accusing me of outrage. And that's not true. So it's an assumption that I was saying everyone was indifferent. The whole point was, yes people have a problem with it, they're not indifferent, and that's what I'm talking about and defending. And my slap example was a comparison of a situation that's similar that does upset me enough to not support an actor. Just like what she said, like it or not, did have that same effect on many. And to deny it seems pretty silly. As I've said, it's not the only thing that doomed this film.
Honestly, the thing that probably hurt Gadot with the most people was the awful Imagine video during the pandemic.
Yeah maybe I’m overreacting but I’m noticing a disturbing trend among my peers of thinking violence is funny.

You could at least quote the right thing. I mean come on. You quoted me asking, wasn't the VOTE 50/50. The vote was just about 50/50. I'll do it for you.
Here's where you fail, and not just you but your club too. You and your posse are quick to say, oh wait made up facts!!!! And then counter with, look at that, made up facts. Yes I said half, and I've said before it's potentially. That said, please point to the statistic that breaks down exactly what every person thought of what she said. Saying that potentially upsetting half the people is no less accurate than whatever nonsense you are pushing.
So I can't have an opinion? Oh I forgot, it doesn't align with yours, agenda!!! I have been clearly against the remakes from the start. And why have I posted so extensively on it? Because of people like you. The constant accusations and harassment. Hell, you did it in this post. At this Point I think you're just blind to it.
BRING BACK HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION!
Bob Iger will never do that.
How about a compromise? Maybe we bring back the hybrid animation from wish?
I agree, I’d love more hand drawn animation.
I’m a child of the twentieth century. I will never enjoy computer animation as much as the hand-drawn variety.
