Yet all you’ve done the last several posts is deflect and prevaricate. It would have been so easy to acknowledge that you were taken in by a video masquerading as something it wasn’t. We all make mistakes; it’s how we respond when we learn the truth that matters. And your response has been...

If only you had higher standards for your own online conduct.

I think that’s letting some of them off too easily. A good number are smart enough to know better but choose to perpetuate falsehoods and fuel discord for reasons that are entirely beyond me. It’s very unfortunate, all the more so on a website devoted to Disney.

I’m not the one treating it as such or spreading false information on the basis of mendacious posts. That would be you.

Not the kind of social media you consume. To the extent that I can, I steer clear of trolls and other agitators. I consider the dross they peddle unworthy of attention, and when it does cross my path (generally in this forum, alas), I take the few simple steps needed to fact-check. It’s telling...

You were fooled. Or rather, you willingly took the bait, because fake outrage matters more than facts or decorum.

Ha! You know, perhaps it was! It tickles me so much that I'm not even going to correct it!

Oh, I agree. She was presenting the original film as a product of its time that had various elements that didn’t resonate with her. That seems an entirely unexceptionable stance to me, even if she was a bit simplistic in her articulation of it.

In another interview, she described the prince as a "guy who literally stalks her". That also really annoyed people. I don't consider myself that old, but I just shrug off much of what she says as rather typical for her age group (I know that I certainly spoke in less measured and more...

I am among those who adore the film, as all the merchandise related to it in my home (some of it dating back to the 1930s) attests. I honestly don't have a problem with Zegler's comments. They're exactly the kind of thing I can imagine any teenager or young person in their early 20s saying, and...

I’m talking about your general characterisation of the film. Try rewatching it knowing that it’s slow-paced and you may find other aspects to enjoy. It really is a masterpiece.

You hater! Seriously, though, you need to rewatch it with a more appreciative eye. It’s a fantastic movie!

I dislike hyperbole and intemperate language and corrected my phrasing accordingly. We all make mistakes; the best any of us can do is try to address them. I’m not sure what you think you’re achieving by sharing that screenshot, especially when you yourself have deleted multiple of your own...

It's a myth that people died significantly younger in the past. The average was brought down by the very high rates of infant mortality, but once you made it past childhood, you had a good chance of living to a ripe old rage. https://www.sapiens.org/biology/human-lifespan-history/

"Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse...

Here's one of the interviews people were getting upset over (timestamped to where Zegler and Gadot start contrasting their version of the film with the 1937 one): Two things to note that again underscore how artificially whipped up this has all been: 1) Gadot seems to be on the same page as...

This really needs to be stressed. The anger towards her was as intense then as it is now, and all because of her comments about the 1937 film. She had said nothing negative about Gadot at that point; on the contrary, they seemed very chummy in the footage that people were getting so worked up...

I think you offered the solution in your post: YouTube.

Here's the original video: It was posted on Zegler's own YouTube channel in January 2023, long before her Snow White comments became the focus of so much feigned indignation. To those of who you gleefully bought this fake news: that someone unearthed this video, misleadingly excerpted a clip...

You actually don’t know that. Until I corrected you, you were fooled into thinking the video had to with the current “controversy”.
