“After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney’s Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot.”

    Free Palestine & fuck the Zionists and all, but her trying to shit on the original story and endorsing a twisted & misguided feminist story is what irks me about her. Do a movie about women empowerment, no problem with that. Why ruin a classic to that end though?

      Blame Disney for making her say shit like that, it was very clearly a form of marketing for the money and it wasn’t the first nor last will be the last time Disney has its live action cast members talk shit about the OG version.

      Moreover, the comment wasn’t even really “shitting” on it either. People spreading that clearly only heard about it online. IIRC, she just called it outdated and that Prince Charming is weird, even if she wasn’t coached to say that somehow, she’s entitled to have opinions.
