Back on track, I don't think this will be that bad. I would not be surprised if Redd shows up in a new Pirates Disney movie soon.
Yeah I loved the old red head wench scene but change is gonna happen it will get accepted as just a part of the ride as it 'normally' is and having Redd as a meet and greet will feel normal.

I just don’t understand all the hate here. In PoC there have been at least 3 women pirates. Reds can be a great example for young girls if played properly by showing a strong women in what is normally thought of a man’s world. There were at least 5 women pirates in the Caribbean.
As for not being at WDW hasn’t Disneyland been the first of many things that ended up at many other parks.

I think at this point the anger and disappointment is mostly from the execution of the change in MK. It’s a train wreck on all levels. I have no problem with a woman pirate in POTC if done well. Changing an already established character into a joke (ala the bride in HM) is just sad and pathetic.

Is that really what Disney is messaging with this character though? Perhaps I'm giving Disney too much credit, but I see this more about inclusion and representation than implicitly saying "hey little girl, you can grow up to be a pirate". If that's the case then what was Disney telling your daughter in the old auction scene?

I don't know. I can't see any ulterior motive with this character other than female empowerment. They established things with that joke of an interview to instill the idea that this character doesn't need a man to take care of her and is independently successful. Two MAJOR factors in the women empowerment movement. Female inclusion in the pirates franchise already existed in the films.

Sounds to me like you all are reading WAY too much into the redesign of a simple character.
I can only imagine how this may carry through as you over analyze the new car the neighbors pick out. o_O

The only flaw in your analogy is that I don't ride around in my neighbor's new car.

BTW, this is a Disney online fan forum. Over-analyzing things is what we do.

So I'm really glad Disneyland is providing someone for my daughter to look up to and pave the way for her.

I mean, as long as she's acting strong, like a man, what else could I hope for?

Seriously that is what you got out of my comment. That is really an extreme comment. Like I said if played right it could be a good role model for women. Has nothing to do what we see as what a pirate was but what they can do to hopefully show a strong woman role model.

The idea of "pirate" equaling "good role model" in any capacity is exceedingly laughable. Even a Disney-fied pirate.

Well... at least it's not like she would be trying to emulate a serial husband murderer. That would be a totally bad role model.

I was replying to those saying she'll be a good role model for young girls.

Aside from the fact that she's female, I see nothing for girls to model.
