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

I mean, the origination of the story is a mess to begin with so of course it’s going to misrepresent things, this comment kinda goes into the details a bit - lemmy.world/comment/23310329

A Palestinian friend once went on this mini rant about how Aladdin wasn't even Middle-Eastern. Al Addin (according to the friend) means "The Easterner." So Aladdin should have been Indian or Korean or something.
