Even if it wasn’t different media. “Look guys! Here’s Aladdin in a dark alley in the evening and then later he’s in the open air in broad daylight and the fucking cartoonists colored his skin lighter!”

I feel like this kind of bullshit is a distraction from actual criticisms of the way the movie Aladdin depicts the Middle East.

The original Aladdin story in One Thousand and One Nights is set in China (Aladdin is also Chinese), is based on a middle eastern folk tale, and was written and added to the book by a Frenchman. And then it's most recognizable incarnation (at least to a western audience) migrates the setting and characters to a fictional Arabic kingdom and gives him an American white guy voice. The character, Aladdin's, cultural identity as we know it is a little all over the place.

Some of the comments here feel like the lefts version of complaining when a kids movie gets the wrong culture put into a lead role and the right complains… Like when the right complained about the Little Mermaid.

Ahh, back when clickbait had to ~~scourge~~ scour for fake things instead of just boiling 1000 gallons of water.

Ok, I never thought I will type "Aladdin yaoi" in my search engine, but here we are. There are far more Aladdin x Hercules hentai than I expected, so I couldn't find where this exact screenshot is coming from.
