Is this really a pattern or am I just paranoid?

I was watching the trailer for the upcoming movie “Sinners” and some right-wing comments are saying that the movie is DEI. The movie is new with new and original characters. Isn’t that what they said to do?

      I mean, those are portrayals of humans with backgrounds that have some relevance to their character. A mermaid is just a fish lady who cares what they look like the important part is they are part fish

      Yeah but he also described her as blonde didn’t he? At least she’s blonde in most non-disney adaptations. Why was it okay for Disney to make changes to the character and story in 1989 but not now?
